Great Value

Reviewed by Rick (Frequent Traveler, Student) from Kansas City, MO on Apr 21, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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" :)

Pros:	adaptable to back of car
Best Uses:	Travel

Great Product - Great Price

Reviewed by Traveler with kids (Frequent Traveler, Practical) from Chicago, IL on Apr 12, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

Cons:	Bulky
Pros:	Easy Controls, Long Battery Life, Good Picture, Durable, Good Sound

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.

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

Great portable DVD player

Reviewed by Carrie (Frequent Traveler, Practical) from Sandy, Ut on Nov 26, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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!

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.

A bargain and it actually plays dvd's.

Reviewed by PatrynXX (Geek, Student, Gearhead, Practical) from Cedar Falls, IA on Aug 09, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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. [...]

Reviewed by Michael (Practical) from Kalamazoo, MI on Jul 20, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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).

Great for the Kids!

Reviewed by Huy (Tech Savvy) from Grass Valley, CA on Mar 21, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

Best Uses:	Auto
Pros:	Durable, Easy to Use, Compact, Long Battery Life

Great Player

Reviewed by BillB (Tech Savvy) from Cary, NC on Feb 20, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

Pros:	High Quality, Good Value, Durable, Long Battery Life
Cons:	Low Volume

Great Earphone Sound!

Reviewed by Vicky Now (Tech Savvy) from Northern CA on Feb 06, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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!

Excellent DVD player for the money

Reviewed by Bad Dad (Tech Savvy) from Virginia Beach, VA on Jul 20, 2006

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.
