Imagine how the value of your couch would increase if it were enveloped in Dolby Digital Surround Sound? This is what happens when you have a Toshiba DVD.As a developer of the DVD format, Toshiba consistently leads the industry in the introduction of technological breakthroughs and convenience features. Toshiba proudly offers the DVD Player SD1700 featuring 10-Bit 27 MHz Video D/A Conversion that provides rapid processing of the video signal with less signal loss, ensuring maximum image resolution and images free of artifacts.

Amazon.com Product Description
With the Toshiba SD1700 DVD-Video player, you'll get Toshiba quality and all the features common to Toshiba DVD players--for a bargain price. The SD1700's feature set includes parallel video output (great for multi-room viewing), Dolby Digital and DTS digital-audio output (for use with a surround-decoding AV receiver), Spatializer N-2-2 virtual surround sound (for making your two speakers sound like four), three slow-motion speeds, and an icon-based onscreen display for simple setup and adjustments. Another key feature is the player's ColorStream component-video outputs. A component-video connection is the ideal way to connect a digital video source like DVD to a TV display (requires compatible inputs), resulting in increased image purity, and incredibly lifelike and very crisp color resolutions. The 10-bit D/A converter with high-resolution filter ensures excellent picture quality, while the 24-bit/192 kHz audio converter with dialogue enhancement renders clear and dynamic sound reproduction. Some of the more convenient features are audio CD and DVD-R compatible playback, four forward and reverse scan speeds, and a unique first setup menu that assists viewers in accurately setting up their player to suit their system's capabilities. Parental lock, time search, camera angle select, and 4-power picture zoom are all included on this model, as are S-video, composite video, and coaxial digital outputs, giving you a wide range of connection options. The SD1700 comes with a remote control and a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor from Toshiba.

 Didn't Even Last a Year September 23, 2007
R. Platt
Do not buy this machine. We bought this as a gift back in 2001 and it didn't even last a year. We bought "Hyundai HDP-550S DVD Player" for ourselves at a much lower price in 2002 and it is still going strong. We only use our DVD player to watch movies and do not use any of the other features (zoom, slow, etc.).
Dissapointing for Toshiba January 18, 2007

I purchased it becuse of the name, but that was obviously the only good thing about it. I realize it wasn't a lot of money, but I expected it to last more that a few months. I had to exchange it for another, and that one lasted about a year.
Worst DVD Player ever made February 15, 2005

I grant this DVD player does have a good picture. But it has a few problems with freezing and sticking video picutures. Glinches in it plays a DVD. Or not even able to read the DVD it self. I blamed it on the DVD's them self. But it turned out to be the DVD player. I also have problems with it not playing DVD. I put the DVD's in this Toshiba and they would not play. I took them to my neighbors and put the same DVD in their DVD player and they played. I would think twice on buying this DVD player again. I cannot even rate it for the problems it has casued. Also the DVD Player is under a class action suit becasue of these reasons.
 Working great after 2 1/2 years! June 3, 2004
I must be one of the lucky ones, it still does everything as advertised. Even if it died today, I`m not going to whine about a $99 player because it didn`t last 10 years.
No Audio because of bad capacitors April 26, 2004
The one who moves around a lot. (This year I am in Southern Maryland)

The wrong kind of capacitors are installed on C927, C928, C929. The sound will not work because of this. It is fixable and the fix is cheap if you know what your doing.
