Nice player remote not the best.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

The only thing I didn't like was the fact you have to charge the battery for the amount of time it lasts. I wish it was a longer battery span than five hours. Other than that the product is great.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Sony truly is the BEST! Me and my dad bought this product not to long ago and have'nt had any problems yet. We use it mostly in the car and were concerned the sound was to low. We hooked it up to a thing we had that transmitted the sound from the player to the car sterioand it was AWESOME! Great sound! It definatly is an A+ product in my family!

The picture and sound on this DVD player is great. What you expect from Sony. A good buy so far.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

I purchased this in April for my son to take on our family vacation in July. He hasn't put it down in our house so I'm guessing it's durable as he is not particularly delicate with his things. It seems to be very user-friendly and a GREAT value for the money. I especially like the 180 degree rotation which allows a full recline of the screen to adapt to the back of a car's headrest while keeping the control buttons exposed. Sound could be slightly louder although if it was, I might be writing "sound could be slightly softer" :)

Excellent for travel in the car or on the plane.
Two headset jacks are a bonus.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Read the reviews on this. The concerns for the glare screen are way overstated. We purchased for a trip to Florida. Used it extensively on the plane, as well as driving along the interstate during the day and at night. Kids loved the big screen, swivel capability, and how it can sit up or fold down to sit in their lap.

The battery life was an added bonus, as we ran it continuously over almost 5 hours and it still didn't run out.

Very happy with the purchase, almost need to buy another so the kids don't fight over it.

Bought for an active 3 year old with lots of movies to watch. Saves when visiting in others' homes so not to have to use their equipment, etc. Used for about one month. So far so good. Only concern was one episode of player not shutting off or responding but discovered battery was also low, and haven't had it long enough to know whether this was an isolated incident.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

This portable DVD player is great my kids love it.
It has been wonderful. My kids have enjoyed it soo much. Has been wonderful for road trips. The only thing i don't like about it is that it is way to heavy for my kids to hold. It is pretty bulky.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Sound is weak without headphones - but everything else about the product is great!

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

This DVD Player is exactly what I needed for the airplane. The swivel display is useful, it has good battery life, and it works well. Best of all, it is a Sony and it was price competitive. I have never thrown out a Sony product in 20 years of using Sony gear.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

This is a decent DVD player. I just wish they would make it more clear that headphones were not included with this product, as it caught me "with my pants down" on Christmas day, and to get the full effect, I had to wait until stores opened the next day. Overall, it has a good picture, and good sound with decent headphones. Without headphones, the volume is a bit low.

I watch a lot of movies found it to be the best portable dvd player.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

We bought this DVD player for a long vacation to Virginia. We needed a long battery life for the plane rides and a light weight unit to pack into our carry on. This DVD player is perfect for travel. I love the swivel screen and the duel headphone jacks. The picture quality is amazing for such a tiny unit. We had a little difficulty hearing the movie on the plane, but we were right over the wing, which may have had something to do with it, but it still entertained my kids and was well worth the money spent. [...]. Like I said before, the battery life is amazing as is the picture quality and it seems pretty durable. I would definitely recommend this product for travelers!

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Our daughters use these portable DVD players when we travel. They work great, have an excellent picture, and have a long battery life. Would definitely buy again.

I purchased this DVD player as a video monitor for our church where I am the Music Director. It allows me and the choir to be at one end of the church with our organist at the other using the DVD player screen as a video monitor to follow my direction. It works beautifully!

Great for taking most anywhere!

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Bought this unit for a plane ride. But have been playing around with it before the trip. It seems to fit the bill nicely. Nice picture. Sound out of the unit a little weak, but thru the headphones (much better), probably even better with a nice set of headphones. Battery life seems to be slightly less than advertised, but it has not been charged but twice.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

I've had the worst sort of luck finding a decent player. Usually conventional wisdom is that cheap players aren't the best but they play. Not in my case. Insignia (unsafe, laser sometimes doesn't shut off), Coby (doesn't honor their warranty and laser shines from the vent and the battery caught fire), Toshiba (Refused to play most dvd's). So when I say this player is a Bargain! I mean it really is worth the [$]. After wasting [$]on the Coby, I'd say [$]more for something that'll last 900 times longer is worth it. Only two things I could find annoying. The sound isn't really that loud. (I might be able to tweak that using an amplifier. But there goes the portability) and two, I never liked glossy screens. When you have a light in a certain place you'll be seeing yourself looking back at you. [...] A glossy screen also attracts dust. It might protect the lcd screen, but just not a great positive thing. But I'll let it slide since I can play my movies now. The battery is really well located. It's not easy to accidentally remove. And it actually has a battery indicator. [...]

The picture is good and it is easy to operate.
For some movies, however, the sound will not go
loud enough.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

I bought (actually earned with AMEX points) two of these units a few weeks ago. I have a 3r old son and 4 year old daughter and we were taking our first big )greater then 2 hour) trip.

The unit worked flawlessly, despite heavy traffic, construction, and rain. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating was that the battery life, in a moving vehicle, was just over 2.5 hours. I did fully charge both units BEFORE ever using them, but it seems 3 hours is probably the limit.

As for construction - these units seem very well made (albeit a bit heavy, though) - come with a host of options (remote with batteries, swivel screen, full complement of cables) and was a much better choice for the car then most of the dual screen automobilie specific units I researched.

I look forward to many years of usage both in the car (and for me on the plane when I travel).

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

This portable DVD player is extremely durable and child proof, yet easy to use and with a great picture. This is our fourth portable DVD player and it is the only one that has stood up to the abuse that a 2-year old and a 4-year old can dish out. I would recommend it to anyone needing a decent travel DVD player for young children.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Easy to use out of the box. Excellent battery life. On a recent trip, our plane was stuck on a tarmac for 2+ hours prior to the scheduled 4 hour flight, our 2 & 4 year olds were in desperate need of distraction and entertainment. Fortunately, the player lasted the promised six hours! Only down side was the the volume even at max was quite weak. Overall an excellent product.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Other than the sound is not real loud on the built in speakers, on headphones it's killer.

Great for keeping my son occupied on those long drives to the camp grounds.
Works great watching while camping too.

good player. Already bought a cheaper unit but that broke after only one year. The battery no longer holds a charge, and the power port broke.
this player is built solid and the battery last forever. Picture and Sound not much better than my cheap unit but quality is.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

I wanted to update my review on this dvd player. I had problems with the first unit [...]. As far as the player, so far it appears that the first one was just a fluke. This new unit plays perfectly. So far I have not found a dvd that it will not play and the picture is great. My only complaints are that the audio could use more volume and the otherwise excellent remote control does not have a button to control the volume. All in all I would now recommend this unit to a friend and I would definitely recommend [...] to anyone.

From a technical aspect everything is awesome with the execption of the picture quality. I rate the picture quality 3.5/5

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

I am in the process of exchanging this player. It will not play all dvds without frequent stopping in mid play and locking up. Not enough volume even with earphones. Hopefully this is an isolated incident as I generally am very satisfied with Sony products.

Meets all my expectations, however the sound system could be better.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

This is a great set up for my busy kids in booster seats without taking up leg/knee room, like most portable DVD players. I am able to hang the unit in its completely folded form flush behind the front headrests, using a [...]carrier/case. Therefore, it's very similar to a built-in headrest monitor. The player also resumes the playback scene whenever it is turned back on, while most others start all over. However, the screen mode always defaults back to the compact vs. the wide or fullscreen mode when it is turned off and on again. Therefore, it has to be reset everytime. Regardless, I have returned two other units and have purchased two of these Sony's because I am very impressed.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Terrific unit I used on an overseas flight to watch Season Six Sopranos while on a boring flight. Worked perfectly in conjunction with my Bose Noise Reduction Headphones. Extremely good resolution, very versatile adjustments to get the right screen angle for viewing and super long lasting battery charge. Great Price & Great Service for this compact dynamo. Thanks [...]

WE PURCHASED THIS DVD PLAYER FOR ONE PURPOSE A 7 HR FLIGHT TO THE BAHAMAS. WE'RE TRAVELING W/ OUR LITTLE ONES AGE 2 & 5. WE HAVEN'T USED IT FOR IT'S INTENDED PURPOSE YET. WE DON'T LEAVE UNTIL APRIL BUT, SO FAR OUR GIRLS LOVE IT. THEY CAN WATCH A MOVIE ANYWHERE & THEY DO. EVEN WHEN THEY'RE SITTING IN FRONT OF OUR 50" T.V. THEY'D RATHER USE THIS ONE. IT'S SO EASY TO USE OUR 5 YR. OLD CAN OPERATE IT. THE PICTURE & SOUND IS GREAT. IT'S TRULY DURABLE CONSIDERING IT'S OPERATOR'S & VIEWER'S ARE STILL CUTTING BABY TEETH.

It's great for the commuter who uses public transportation. I use it while riding the train and I love it. It's very portable and the different screen poisitions make it visible from any angle

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Picture is great. The swivel of the screen is very helpful. Unfortunately, the battery life seems less than quoted.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Definitely met expectations. Be sure to get movies made for wide-screen for best results.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

I am completely satisfied with my purchase of this player. After reading some of the reviews here I was apprehensive regarding the sound volume and the fact that there is no volume control on the remote, thus, was not surprised when I received it. You will not be able to watch this without headphones on a plane. However, the pro's for this player most definitely out-way the con's here. It produces a great picture, has great battery life, is relatively quite (drive spin) and has all the quality you'd expect from the Sony brand.

This is not meant to be a home theater replacement.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

I love that I can set it up near my walk master and distract myself, with non fiction DVD that I can choose chapters from, and pick up next time I get on, with new chapters. I use head phones and remote. The turning screen is important to me. (I have a small computer with that feature and I knew I loved it so I had to get this one with one too. It adds so much dimension to its function.) And I stay twice as long walking and lose weight and get exercise I can't get anywhere in cold or too hot weather.I learn Tai Chi, History, languages. Travel. You name it. Fun! Fun! I love that it is black and doesn't reflect onto the screen. I put it in a case that carries all accessories too, and it sets right up wherever I am. I turn it so the screen doesn't get any light or light colored item in the picture. It has good quality picture. I love the sound for CD playing, with earphones. It sounds rather small and normal without the phones in my ears. But I always use them with it anyway. I also think a good bag is a must. It helps me use it as a CD player for my meditation or music tapes. I love the sound better than my ordinary CD player. Not an Ipod or MP3 player user yet. It stores discs in the bag and makes it real convenient. I paid about $[...] at radio shack for a really good bag. I paid about $[...] online for this player. It is expensive. But the good quality and all the extra helps, like it will play homemade CDs and picture discs, are good. I had been looking in the range of [...]$. But this one had all that I wanted for LONG TIME use, and it was good quality. I am very happy with it, drag it around with me everywhere in the house and to the Library. I like to watch 20-40 minute clips from non fiction DVDs, and check the viability of some movies, or just sit and watch a video there. It is quiet, and pleasant. It gives me freedom, that I need, and comfort. I didn't yet use it for the car, because I am older and don't have young kids, but who knows what I will do someday. Maybe go to the shore and sit by the water, using the long battery (5 hours) and eat a lunch, keeping out ot the wind, and take turns looking at the water and the DVD or listen to CDs. It is realy my favorite portable CD player. I could set it up on the back of the front seat and sit behind it and enjoy the beauty. I love it!

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

This is a great product. I received it promptly and then had a memeber of the household sick. They immediately used it to sit in bed and watch two movies without an issue. It is small and lite weight to use on a plane as well and the screen can turn basically any direction.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

The picture quality is great and so is the swivel option. It's very durable also. It is lacking volume but if you wear headphones it works well even on a noisy plane. Battery lasts six hours which really came in handy on my 8 1/2 hour flight to Maui!! Great product.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

I bought this product to use on trips for my 2 year old son. Although the swivel screen is nice it loses much of its appeal because you are not to use it vertically per the manual. Well the manual was right I had it vertical on a headrest mount and the player quit working in less then a month.

Brought this some someone who wanted a Sony Product. There are many competitive products at a lower price and they work the same. Sony is about 20% costly then other products.

This one is one of the best and which i have been looking for a long time. Its sleek, handy and its 180 degree rotation is the best part. I use it every day on my way to work.
The disadvantage is i) it only plays dvd
ii) the brightness level

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Picture quality could be better does not have a good viewing from all sides, screen turns into a negative type picture. Sound quality fine for home or office use only, beyond that sound quality poor as for most portable DVD players. however, Stil a solid unit, probly one of the best bilt units on the market, screen protection nice even with glare problem. Dark seens may be hard to see. P.S. Sony please make one with Blue Ray tec. and rubber coat the case everything else is perfect.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

We love this for long plane rides with our one-year-old. I did a lot of research on portable DVD player, and this one was the highest quality for the price. Unlike the cheaper brands this one has a long battery life, and great picture. The only thing I don't like is the volume is not verry loud. The sound quality is still good.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

All-around great DVD player. Made better with digital earphones, especially when there is much background noise such as on an airplane.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Though the price was a bit higher than other portable DVD players on the market, you get what you pay for (quality product from SONY). And the long battery life is definitely worth the few extra dollars. The only real "con": since I ordered online, I didn't realize that the player has a "bright" screen, which shows lots of glare. And controls are somewhat small for adult hands. Other than that, the player is extremely simple to use right out of the box.

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

Purchased this item after extensive research about portable dvd players. I trusted the Sony name and loved the fact that they were the only brand to make a portable dvd player with a HARD screen. This makes it less likely to break and have pixels fail. [...] have been thrilled with the way it works. Only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it is heavy and doesn't work very well in fitting into those holder they have for the back of the seats for cars. But it folds into a tablet which works just fine for my 2 year old!

Comments about Sony Sony 8" Portable DVD Player In Black:

We had to replace two Audiovox DVD players that the kids trashed (within 6 months). For the cost per unit, the Sony DVD players have performed magnificently. I am very impressed with the quality of the players, as most people would expect from Sony. The big test was our recent plane trip to San Diego, the battery life was way above average at 5+ hours per charge. While on vacation we set one of the players up on the kitchen table and the four cousins easily watched cartoons on the 8in screen and the volume from the small internal speakers was just adequate for the audience.

The power cords for the car are a bit short so I recommend getting a cord extender. I have to use an extension cord and a splitter so I only take up one power plug in the car for both players. The players have not skipped under any driving or playing conditions. My kids are rough on toys, these players already have scratches, one has been dropped and they are still working fine. These seem to be durable products.

The batteries are thin and fit flush and snuggly under the base of the units, unlike the bulky Audiovox batteries. The players can support two headphones with minimal loss of volume. The remote is excellent and the best way to control the player.

One small problem that I have with the Sony DVD players is that they have really small button controls on the unit. They are difficult to see in low light situations.

The Sony players do not come with headphones and I highly recommend "noise canceling" headphones for any airplane trip.

Having owned two different brand DVD players in the past, I would recommend the Sony DVD players to anyone.
