Summary: Great little portable dvd player
Review: I researched many portable dvd players and this one came up best for the money. But since I got it after the rebate time ended, I didn't get the free car adapter and now I find it is quite expensive, $99! (which is why I give it the 4 stars)Otherwise, the picture is very sharp and lots of features offered. It also shows my Jpeg digital pictures! I am very happy with this panasonic product!

Summary: Terrific player
Review: I spent a long time studying what was out there. I ended up buying an Initial from Wal-mart, at a very good price. 9 inch screen. Well, it lasted 2 days and quit working. I returned it and did some more research. After reading all the reviews, I concluded that Panasonic was the best choice and Amazon had the best price. It plays everything I have and I have had no problems with it. With headphones, the sound is spectacular. I wish it had come with a car adapter but it doesn't. I can't understand why the adapters are so expensive ($150 from Panasonic). Also a spare battery is very expensive, but I knew all this going in.
Excellent quality, design and numerous choices on the remote control. You can't go wrong with this little gem.

Summary: The Best Portable- Bar None!!!
Review: Panasonic portable DVD players have the sharpest, clearest screens around! I bought a Toshiba to replace my old Panasonic, but what a piece of junk! The contrast was too high, and it skipped with the slightest bump! I saw the panasonic LS50 and was enamored. It plays DVDs, DVD-Rs that my Toshiba locks up on, MP3s in files (I like to put artists on one disc and then categorize them in seperate files by year of album release.) It plays DVD Ram, JPeg files (The Toshiba won't play any Jpegs over 300 dpi, this one does at least up to 600 dpi!,) and the flip screen is the coolest. I can finally watch a movie holding the player flat! Awesome! It has 2 headphone jacks, the 7" screen is crystal clear, No volume dial to move by accident- buttons are used, the only down side to this amazing player is that it doesn't offer a line in to use it as a monitor like my old Panasonic and Toshiba. (I use this feature when recording to my Panasonic DVD recorder.) The speakers sound great, as usual for Panasonic!The player is not heavy even with the battery. It is very hard to make this player skip! Panasonic is simply the best!!! The price is one third what I paid for my old 5 inch Panasonic years ago- what a steal!!!

Summary: Excellent Player
Review: This is my first portable player and I am very happy with it.
First it plays all the disc's I throw at it. dvd+r and +rw.
It actually states in the manual that it does not play +r, but it does. The screen tilts, You don't realise how useful this is until you use it. The screen is very clear and the footprint of the unit is nice and small. Battery slots in nicely too.
the Sound via the headphones is excellent, speakers less so.
Battery life is not great, but it seems to be a common complaint with all these players.
Finally I have been very happy with my purchase, there are cheaper machines out there but the panasonic seems solid and well made. I would highly recommend it. Also with the car adaptor and bag as a mail in rebate.

Review: We purchased this DVD player prior to returning to Asia, where we currently reside. We got it for my 18 month old. It worked great. He won't watch regular TV, only the Wiggles or Sesame Street. He also won't wear the headphones we got to go with it, but we were able to keep the sound at a level where he could hear but our fellow passengers could not. We cross the Pacific 2-3 times a year and this will be the indespensible item in the toy/activity bag.
