Toshiba Announces Nationwide Availability Of New Portable DVD Player Models

SD-P1200 Marries Fashion and Technology and SD-P2500 Features New Slim Cosmetic Design, Enhanced Audio Speakers

HILTON HEAD, S.C., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- From the company that developed the industry's first progressive scan portable DVD-Video player with a high- resolution display comes two new portable models designed to provide consumers with a variety of entertainment choices. Whether looking to complement an active, on-the-go lifestyle or seeking the most advanced digital audio and video technologies, consumers will find a Toshiba portable DVD player to meet their personal and functional needs. Toshiba's SD-P1200 and SD-P2500 portable DVD players on display at the Toshiba Dealer Line show are available now through major retailers nationwide.

The SD-P1200 is the first portable DVD player in a fashionably-styled, "sure-grip" design in an eye popping red color. The ergonomically designed player features a cabinet design with a faux rubberized texture and a 7" widescreen TFT LCD. For added portability, this full-featured model offers a 3.5 hour Lithium Ion battery and a credit card sized remote control. Additional features include multi-disc compatibility and a JPEG Viewer.

Toshiba's SD-P2500 is designed to take full advantage of the DVD format in both video and audio. This model comes equipped with technology features like Super ColorStream Pro® progressive scan output, DVD Audio compatibility and the industry's highest resolution LCD screen (1024 x 600). The SD-P2500 also features new side panel audio speakers that are countered to match the new slim design and an SD/SM slot for JPEG viewing.

"Consumers want to be able to play their favorite DVDs wherever they go," said Jodi Sally, Director of Marketing, Toshiba Digital A/V Group. "Toshiba's portable DVD players not only offer the highest level of DVD video and audio technology, but also innovative and compact designs that fit the mobile lives of today's consumers."

No longer just for the business executive on the go, Toshiba's portable DVD players match function to lifestyle. The SD-P2500 and SD-P1200 are ideal companions for all types of travel. Offering 2 headphone jacks, the SD-P2500 and the SD-P1200 are perfect for a shared A/V experience and both offer multi- disc playback capability, including DVD-Video, DVD-R, Compact Disc, Video CD, CD-R and CD-RW, as well as MP3 playback of CD-R/CD-RW.

The slimly designed SD-P2500 features an 8.9-inch Poly-Silicon thin-film transistor active matrix display that provides an exceptionally brilliant 614,000 pixels (1024x600) resolution. Advanced-resolution DVD-Audio compatibility ensures that users will enjoy powerful, high-fidelity music that captures all of the warmth, realism and nuance of 2-channel DVD-Audio performances.

For additional viewing flexibility, the SD-P2500 includes a full complement of audio and video connections for quick and easy playback through virtually any existing home theater system.

With a redesigned, light-weight 3.5-hour Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack, the Toshiba SD-P2500 is a portable theater that permits users to enjoy high-quality audio and video entertainment anytime, and almost anywhere. The SD-P2500's newly designed front firing audio speakers have an output wattage of 1.5W. Audio and video mini-plug outputs, standard S-Video connector, digital audio output plus component video out add to the SD-P2500's flexibility. In addition, a monitor input permits users to connect portable video products such as a camcorder, and view the images on the 8.9-inch high- resolution LCD screen.

For total ease of operation, the SD-P2500 features an advanced NAVI menu conveniently integrated for convenient access of key player functions, which offers total ease of operation. All player and DVD menu functions are also accessible using the intuitive four-way cursor co-located on the remote control and the top panel of the player.
