I have had many DVD players since DVD came out. THIS ROCKS!
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Dec 8, 2001Seriously for the money, this thing is spectacular. I actually have two. I got the first one with a new Toshiba Pure Flat Screen T.V. (both from Amazon) the picture is spectacular. Don't forget to take advantage of the component video outputs!! Toshiba calls em "Color Stream" If you are looking for a low priced player, either for your primary system or the bedrooms you won't be disappointed. I was so happy with the first DVD and T.V. I order another pair for our guest bedroom. Now if I could just get people to PAY for staying over!

My first DVD player
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 16, 2001I am not very "electronics" savvy so I was a little nervous when I got this home. However, my fears were soon put to rest. It is very easy to set up and then it was ready to play. I am enjoying it thoroughly. I am sure it doesn't have all the features of a more expensive model, but for someone who just wants to enjoy watching movies, it is perfect, even for the novice.

Works great
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 21, 2001This is my first DVD player and I have had no problems with this SD1700 in two months of use. Not one DVD has skipped or misplayed. I bought the very expensive monster cables also and the output is excellent.

Utilitarian.
(4 out of 5) by Rheumor on Dec 29, 2001 (New Orelans)It's not expensive, and it performs admirably well at its appointed task, the playback of standard DVDs. It will also play audio CDs. There are composite video outs, though if you have a monitor/TV that can use these, I bet you opt for a fancier DVD player. There is a SuperVideo output for those who cannot use the composites (and RCA outs for those who cannot use either), good Dolby/DTS audio outputs for your sound system (or a simple RCA out if you're just going to play it back on a regular TV), and a few zoom levels and screen angles as well, but this is still considered a basic unit. In that, it will not disappoint.

Bang for the Buck!
(5 out of 5) by Tony Johnson on Apr 27, 2001 (Boulder, CO United States)I finally got sick of my GE1105P skipping and freezing, and broke down and bought the Tos SD-1700. I LIKE IT! I tried all my trouble disks- X-men, Enemy of the State, etc., and NO PROBLEMS! The remote is small and not backlit, but simple and well marked. The player has a nice set of features and the picture and sound quality are great....
