Summary: The greatest for a Mom on the go
Review: (...) It gives me private quiet time to watch movies. I can watch (with headphones) any movie while my 8 year old son sits next to me playing Nintendo. I don't have to turn down the sound if adult language comes on. I can turn off the view screen or just fold it closed it something too spicey is shown. I carry it and watch while I let the dogs in and out, in and out and set it next to the stove while I cook dinner. If I'm up late at night I don't have to worry about waking others while I watch a movie and I can hear everything through the headphones. I take it to soccer practice and even to work where I watch movies on my lunch hour. It's so convenient and a great escape! I thought I would be put off by the small screen, but the color and image is sharp and with the stereo speakers/headphones I'm right in there.
Great present for husbands to get busy wives.

Summary: Satisfied first time DVD owner
Review: I have been researching portable DVD players for about a year and narrowed it to Panasonic and Sharp based on the number of positive reviews and feedback. I "bit the bullet" and bought this Sharp when I saw the Amazon price. It arrived just before Labor Day and I have been using it extensively the last 4 days. I have been extremely pleased with the screeen size,picture quality, sound and ease of use. My 7 year old also loves it. I am not an afficiando but an average guy who enjoys gadgets and I believe this is a great value for the Amazon price.

Summary: Sharp Portable DVD
Review: I have never wrote to any web site neither magazine before 'cuz i don't have much time. I'm just doing this one to let everybody know how i'm really enjoying my Sharp DVD . I have compared both sharp and panasonic at the store and have noticed no great diference between them, only one... the price (sharp being much more cheaper)so it's a smart move to get the sharp. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Changing the subject, forget about Sony , they must be really crazy or stupid to think people will pay all that extra money just for the name "Sony" being just the same product as the others in the market- just forget it.

Summary: What a FANTASTIC Christmas Gift!!!
Review: I received this as a wonderful Christmas Gift. In short, it exceeds all the expectations I imagined how a portable unit would perform! Talk about features, and a remote that enables multi-function accessibility? This is a great product!

Summary: Really fine DVD player
Review: I received this player 2 days ago - and have used it a BUNCH since it arrived. It is fantastic! Picture quality is superb, the 7" diagonal screen makes a big difference compared to the 5" or 5.8" screens. Sound is good (for two small speakers) - fine quality for close-up viewing.

The portability is really fine. I watched "Lethal Weapon" this morning while making and then eating breakfast. Didn't miss a frame of the movie; of course you trade off the effect of a hugh movie screen, but being able to take it with you as you move around the house (or in a car or plane) more than makes up for a small screen. And actually, because it's so close to your eyes, the size picture you see is probably larger than you would on your entertainment center.

The player itself is about the size of a DVD case, and the separate battery pack is the same size. So all the storage space two units require is for 2 DVD cases.

My only complaints are placement of the buttons and the size of the remote. The buttons on the unit are pretty close, and several times I've had it on "pause", and intended to hit the "play" button, but accidentally pressed the "stop" button. Good news is that when you start play again (after all the start-up logos, etc.), the movie continues just a little prior to where it left off - unless you've disconnected the power or opened the unit. The remote is rather bulky, what you'd expect for a regularly sized DVD player. A credit card sized one would be nice.

But you (or a loved one) won't be disappointed with this player.
