Rating: Summary: How can you not BUY this product!!! Review: This portable 7 inch has been the best thing I bought beside my new truck. It is so convenient to use on business trips and road trips with the family. The picture quality is probably the best in the market among portable DVD players. Sound is great and the best thing about the players is that its capable of playing my music CDs I made through my computer. Now thats a "Picture Perfect" product in my book!
Rating: Summary: This will also play DVD-R discs! Review: I did not know this when I bought it, but it will also play "DVD-R" format discs- the ones you can burn yourself. I have a lot of these so this was a very nice surprise for me. Overall this is a very good little player- one hell of a lot better than anything that was available in its size and weight class, a year or two ago.
Rating: Summary: Don't review this item for at least 30 days! Review: I have seen plenty of reviews on this item, and I must say that I wish I would have seen them before I purchased it. All of the negative reviews have all happened to me too. The problem is, it takes longer than just a few times of using it for the problems to arrive, they start after the warranty is up. Every positive review this player gets is from people who have just purchased it. The most annoying thing is that the picture freezes up and you have to keep resetting the movie. This was frustrating to me, but even more to my kids. We purchased this player because it was the cheapest we could find. We have now decided that you should not buy a DVD player by that criteria. Spend a little extra money, and save yourself the trouble.
Rating: Summary: Fair judgement Review: Read all the reviews and decided to buy this. I indeed made a good choice. True, there is warmth after using it for 6 hrs. but this is not that hot; my kid watch it in a bus that was so bumpy,it never skipped. You have to use the earphone to hear it & that's ok. True the battery last 2 hrs. but you can use car adopter. Sound is ok. Screen is big enough to enjoy it & very clear color. Buy it.
Rating: Summary: Great for the Price Review: Great bang for the buck. This player may not be "home theatre" quality, but it's great for long plane or car trips. I can't see spending a lot of money on something you use only occasionally. I haven't hooked it up to a TV, so I don't know how it performs when used as just a stationary dvd player, but as a portable player it serves my needs to a tee.
Rating: Summary: Okay, but potential problems Review: As with at least two Initial products I've purchased, the remote is not fully functional...it doesn't turn the unit on and off and doesn't control the volume. Also, apparently the TV video and audio outlets are on the back end of the unit where the battery hooks on, so you can't attach the battery (although you can still use it) and hook the unit up to a TV at the same time...bad planning.
Rating: Summary: Great item for the money! Review: I purchased this dvd player as a last minute thing to try and avoid spending $1500 on an overhead player and it has been well worth the money. The first one we brought home had a problem with the screen cuting off but we decided to try it one more time and exchanged it. This one (so far)has had no problems. The screen is a perfect size and has great viewing from the sides which is no comparison to the other inexpensive models. The volume is plenty loud enough for the car and there is no problem hearing it even in the third row seats of an suv. It may be too soon to give it five stars but from what we have seen so far, the others fail in comparison in this price range.
Rating: Summary: Try this one in a store before buying it here Review: I bought this online, without trying it first in a store. The picture and sound quality were good, the size and the housing were nice. But the actual mechanisms were very loud - if you were using this in a quiet place, it would be very annoying both to you and anyone sitting next to you. Since I bought mine for plane travel, and didnt' want to bother "the neighbors" I returned it.
Rating: Summary: Piece of Junk, Spend a few bucks more, you'll be happy... Review: This player locked up several times. The screen would freeze and we would restart, then it would lock up again. I've probably written only one other review in 5+ years I've shopped Amazon. This product was so bad that I wanted to warn others. When we hooked it up to our TV, the picture was also bad. When I returned it, the store clerk told me that she gets these back all the time, and that she rarely gets back the Panasonics. If you are lucky enough to get one of these that works, then it's a great deal. But if it's ultimately doomed to fail, is it really a bargain. Better to spend an extra hundred bucks...
