Amazon.com Product Description
When you are looking for more than just a portable DVD player, try the SD-P5000 from Toshiba. This lightweight, on-the-go DVD player with a 15-inch LCD display also features a built-in television with a home-theater-quality picture. The SD-P5000 is loaded with features and delivers crisp, realistic visuals with rich surround sound.
The DVD player in the SD-P5000 provides a crystal-clear picture with its enhanced digital processing. Since the display screen is directly connected to the DVD player, you get a pure digital signal from your DVDs. The SD-P5000 uses digital cinema progressive scanning (3:2 pulldown) to reproduce your DVDs in vivid, theaterlike clarity.
You can take full advantage of that picture clarity with the versatile digital picture zoom option, which lets you magnify a portion of the picture onscreen while in freeze-frame mode or even while watching a DVD in real time. The feature is great for spotting details in movies or even adjusting letterboxed movies to fill your screen. The SD-P5000 also features a wide array of DVD features, including multiple angle selection, a fast-scan option that allows you to fly through DVDs, and slow-motion viewing.
The SD-P5000 features 3D virtual surround sound through its built-in speakers and easy-to-connect, multichannel optical digital audio output. The player has two headphone jacks so you can share your DVD viewing with a friend.
The SD-P5000 plays DVDs, DVD-Rs, and CDs, so you can enjoy all your favorite videos and music. You can also play MP3s and view digital JPEG photos from CDs created in your computer.
This portable DVD player can go anywhere. The double-hinged design allows for the player to be wall-mounted as well as portable. The optional internal battery can run the player for up to 2.5 hours, and can be easily recharged between viewings in about four hours. A DC power cord is included so you can use the SD-P5000 in the car.

Technology and benefits:
15-inch 4:3 TFT LCD display: 4:3 amorphous silicon (a-Si) TFT active matrix display is perfect for viewing standard television signals and DVD movies.
Digital cinema progressive (3:2 pulldown): Delivers the smoothest, most film-like images to any progressive scan television, such as an HD-compatible one, and ensures maximum resolution.
Direct digital solution: Toshiba's unique direct digital solution sends the DVD video information to the LCD driver directly from MPEG decoder in original digital form, bypassing unnecessary digital-to-analog conversion steps, delivering the best picture quality.
JPEG viewer: Enables the display of digital photographs captured in the JPEG format. Simply load the CD with your favorite photos and create custom slide shows with a few simple clicks of the player's remote control.
WMA and MP3 playback: Recordable compact discs (CD-R and CD-RW) with music stored in either the Windows Media audio or MP3 file formats can be enjoyed.
3D virtual surround sound: Provides a simulated surround sound effect from sources that contain only a stereo soundtrack. Convenient when playing older DVD films or for use with home theaters not equipped with multi-channel playback compatibility.
AC/DC operation: Take your player on the road and use the car's cigarette lighter to power endless hours of movies and music.
Optional battery pack: For true mobility applications, the SD-P5000 has the ability to add an optional lithium ion battery pack, providing over 2.5 hours of playback with only a 4-hour charging time.
Digital picture zoom: This interactive DVD feature allows you to select an area of the picture you want to zoom in on and magnify it. Enhanced digital processing during moving video or freeze-frame playback produces superior color fidelity and resolution, even when you're zoomed in. Also can be used to expand letterbox-only films to increase the viewable area on-screen.
VESA compliant bracket holes: Designed for tabletop or wall mounting applications, the SD-P5000 has VESA compatible mounting holes in the 100mm design format.
Multilingual onscreen displays: Allows viewers to read menu selection in three different languages (English, French, and Spanish) to ensure user-friendly programming.
Customer Reviews
Great Picture and Very Portable I find this unit is well built and it has an excellent picture with a good quality signal source in. While a tad heavy relative to what you would guess while looking at it, I transport it easily in a 15"H x 3"W x 18"L padded portfolio laptop-styled carry bag and use it mostly on my boat. I have had no trouble playing any DVD's in it and they too present a very fine picture. I suspect another reviwer who complains got a bad sample or lacks a decent antenna system or signal source in. I don't have his problems and have compared the picture directly and favorably to my high quality large Sony TV picture with a satillite signal into each and adjusting distance for each. A very nice unit.
Big, but bad Pros>>>
- Big Screen
- Great sound
- Versitile positioning options
- Great connectivity options
Cons>>>
- Very poor screen resolution. Everything is pixelated and fuzzy (not good when you're expecting a DVD quality picture)
- Very heavy. I expected it to be somewhat heavy given the screen size, but it's quite a bit bigger than I expected. Much bigger and heavier than my 3 year old notebook
- Won't play DVD-R's. Despite what it says, I tried 5 different movies recorded on DVD-R's and none of them worked. They all work on all 4 DVD players I have in my house, but none of them work on the this thing.
- Brightness bars at the top and bottom of the screen are very apparent in low light conditions. The overall screen brightness is great, but it's overpowering at the top and bottom of the screen. Adjustmenst fix it somewhat, but it's impossible to get rid of completely.
- When the disc is spinning up at startup it sounds like a muffled lawn mower. Very loud. During play it's not noticeable though.
Final notes:
Screen size and sound is great. It's not a very portable device though due to it's weight and clunkiness. My biggest gripe and the reason I won't keep it is the picture quality. It's poor at best and not even close to what a DVD sourced picture should be. If you want a big screen and a device that will connect to anything (tons of I/O ports) at the cost of portability and picture quality this is for you. It however, is not for me.
Excellent "portable" TV/DVD Okay, it isn't really that portable, as in "airplane-friendly portable" - it IS a bit large. But if you want a smaller, "MORE portable" TV/DVD as a second set in the house, this baby really cannot be beat. The model I have has an excellent display, true scan LCD. And, it is TOUGH, to boot - it actually fell off an 18" high table onto a brick floor with absolutely no damage save a scratch on the end. Mostly luck, I suppose, but also built-in durability. Too bad about the battery, if true...
