Toshiba SD-P1200 7-Inch Portable DVD Player (Red) Review

I purchased this DVD player during my last tour in Iraq. Here I am, on a second tour, and this player is still going strong.
Toshiba has done an outstanding job with this DVD Player. It's durable, can take a beating (ran over by a vehicle, on one occasion), and has endured the heat and sand.
I would highly recommend, anyone desiring a rugged player designed for travel, this is the portable player you should purchase.

Toshiba SD-P1200 7-Inch Portable DVD Player (Red) Specifications

Toshiba's SD-P1200 is not only portable, but durable, fashioned with a rubberized, "sure grip" design made for travel. The player features a broad, 7-inch widescreen (16:9) active-matrix LCD and a built-in rechargeable battery (good for about 3.5 hours between charges). It handles DVD-Video and DVD-R playback as well as both standard and recordable CDs, including MP3 and JPEG-encoded discs. Storing over 10 hours of MP3 music per disc, you'll be able to travel lighter than ever. And with dual headphone jacks, you can watch or listen with a friend.

The SD-P1200 is serious about image quality, using a 12-bit/54 MHz video digital-to-analog conversion for maximum color purity, detail, and resolution across all 500 display lines. A handy feature called 3D virtual surround simulates surround sound effects from sources that contain only a two-channel (stereo) soundtrack.

Toshiba's JPEG Viewer lets you view digital photographs from discs made on a personal computer in the JPEG format, on any television. There's even an intuitive onscreen display to help you make customized slideshows with just a few simple clicks of the DVD player's remote control. Other features include chapter preview, high-speed smooth-motion scan in forward and reverse, repeat mode, title/chapter search, and skip forward/reverse. Headphones are not included.

2010-04-05T14:34:00.001-07:00

Sony DVP-FX700 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

as noted in other reviews, maximum volume is not loud enough when using this player on an airplane with inexpensive noise-cancelling headphones. Based on a prior review and recommendation, I bought the Boostaroo amplifier from cyberguys.com for about including shipping. While I haven't used the amplifier in the air yet, it clearly does amplify volume with no discernable loss of sound quality. This product makes a major disappointment in the sony dvd player disappear.

Thank you "electronics fan" for the tip.

Panasonic DVD-LX8 9-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player

2010-03-15T10:01:00.001-07:00

Panasonic DVD-LX8 9-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player Review

After much research, I was convinced that the Panasonic portable DVD players were the best. More expensive than many but worth the price. Seeing Nemo play on it convinced me and my spouse. Terrific screen resolution. I decided I wouldn't use the external speakers or the card slot on the LX9 and the LX8 was otherwise the same unit and cheaper. I haven't been disappointed. We love it. After reading reviews here on the LX8 and the Lx9, I was concerned about the heat discharge if it was in your lap. That has not been a problem. I was especially concerned about the short battery time on the factory battery. I opted to buy a Lenmar DVDP501 battery pack (6800 mAh)that attaches underneath the unit and does not require carrying along an extra charger. With the combined batteries I get 8 hours of play time at mid-level screen brightness, which is fine. This extra battery was definitely the way to go. Just to test it, I set the brightness at full level and got 6 hours and 40 minutes of play time. The normal 8 hours is plenty for me on any flight. Panasonic is running a special now for a free travel case and a free airplane/car travel adapter), both by rebate. You won't be sorry with this player, if you get the extra battery.

Features built-in stereo speakers, playback time of 2.5 hours

Panasonic DVD-LX8 9-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player Overview

The DVD-LX8 is capable of playing back DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-RAM, DVD-R2, video and audio CDs, MP3, WMA, and CD-R/-RW3 discs. It also supports HighMAT (High-Performance Media Access Technology), a technology co-developed by Panasonic and Microsoft for arranging and using personal music, video and photo collections on recordable discs, such as DVD and CD recordable media.The DVD-LX8 features a 9-inch (diagonal screen measurement), LCD 16:9 high-resolution VGA screen and employs the Mono Arm concept, with an adjustable arm that allows for increased options when choosing a viewing angle. The DVD-LX8 also features built-in stereo speakers, a playback time of 2.5 hours and multi-format playback.

Panasonic DVD-LX8 9-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player Specifications

Larger than most portable disc players but still far more portable than a laptop, Panasonic's DVD-LX8 DVD player offers a 9-inch, 16:9 aspect-ratio (wide) screen whose adjustable "Mono Arm" broadens the range of available viewing angles, making the player perfect for suddenly bright and suddenly dark airplane cabins or desktop use in an office. The player handles DVD-Video, high-resolution DVD-Audio, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM playback--as well as standard and recordable audio CDs, including MP3- and WMA-encoded discs. Its slender chassis holds a built-in rechargeable battery good for about 2.5 hours between charges.

Designed to take full advantage of both audio and traditional video DVD formats, the DVD-LX8 delivers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound of DVD-Audio. DVD-Audio software titles offer classic music titles in both multichannel and stereo, though be aware that this model plays discs in stereo only. Most DVD-A discs have compressed Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 surround tracks, however; these can be passed through the unit's digital-audio output to a compatible surround receiver and speaker system.

Audio features also include DTS and Dolby Digital 2-channel decoding and multichannel passthrough, built-in stereo speakers, and Panasonic's Dialogue Enhancer for DVD movie viewing. Advanced Surround Sound (VSS) simulates surround effects from any two speakers or from headphones.

Cinema Mode reduces the detrimental effects of screen glare from ambient light, rendering cinematic colors in pictures that are gentle on the eyes. Further, Cinema Mode improves the visibility of details in dark scenes by automatically adjusting picture contrast. High-speed, five-step Smooth Motion Scan provides crystal-clear forward and reverse scan. At the highest setting, the unit scans at an incredible 200 times normal speed. Panasonic's Dialog Enhancer boosts the center channel volume--where most of the principal dialogue emanates when playing a Dolby Digital 5.1 disc--by 6 dB.

This player is HighMAT compatible. High-Performance Media Access Technology is a standard codeveloped by Panasonic and Microsoft to improve interoperability for digital media programming between PCs and electronics devices. HighMAT provides an efficient method for arranging digital photo, music, and video collections on recordable media.

Panasonic DVD-LS50 7-Inch Portable DVD Player

2010-03-10T17:52:00.001-08:00

Panasonic DVD-LS50 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

The DVD-LS50 and DVD-LS55 are essentially the exact same DVD players, save the much larger / heavier and longer lasting battery in the LS55; and the LS55 has a pretty useless FM transmitter to listen through an FM radio (through your car speakers without an audio jack). The chassis is exactly the same.

This portable DVD player is my best friend. It has travelled with me for the past 5 years, well over 300,000 miles worth of plane trips (last year it was on about 50 short round trips) and hotels all over the world. That funky looking hinge looks like a crazy, useless idea - au contraire, it is well near brilliant. Its super easy to adjust the viewing angle and position to the perfect spot. Aside from a recent tear down and cleaning, this DVD player has not let me down. If you have landed on this review, it is probably because you are looking at the portable DVD player from a used source. This is a darn good DVD player.

The small bad thing I had to do recently. Discs would sometimes skip after playing for a while. As with almost all DVD players there is a worm drive for the laser, and it is pretty much totally exposed to the elements - hair, dust, dirt...all kinds of things. No matter how well you take care of this, the worm drive is going to get gunked up. It's a pretty simple matter to remove all the screws from the back, pull off the back, undo one ribbon cable connector (the flip down trap type), take a cotton swab or small screwdriver and remove all the gunk. A light spray of a compatible lubricant, I used 3M's silicone spray, and the machine was back in business. There are pictures of the teardown available, just use your favorite search engine.

This DVD player has probably seen over a 1,000 DVD's in its lifetime. As it's gotten older, dual layer DVD+R's are a bit random if they will play. I've never had a problem with single layer DVD's. Commercial discs play flawlessly. In an airplane, if you set the player on a tray table, after about an hour the machine gets pretty warm and some discs will skip. The solution is to just hold the player in your hands, or don't put on a full cover label on the DVD.

Quality of this player - images are good. I've always had the color dialed all the way down to -5, and even there the saturation is a bit intense for my taste. Over the long haul, I've had to set brightness a bit higher. I used to watch at 0 in a normally lit room, and -3 or -5 in a darkened plane. Now I'm finding 0 for the dark plane, 2 or 3 for the room, and 5 in any kind of daylight. The screen is still very visible. Two headphone jacks, outstanding, I share a movie occasionally with my wife. I've never used the optical out. But line out audio and composite video with the included cable work just great in the new hotel room video television connectors. No this does not have component out available at all. The build is solid. That hinge has lasted a great long time. I can always adjust it to get a good quality image.

Video does require a straight on view; the viewing angle is very narrow. Speaker sound - what do you expect? They are dinky speakers - great for in a quiet room and one person. Headphones are the way to go for sound on this machine.

The player is rugged. In all these miles and all these discs, there are only three tiny chips in the black paint, not a wear mark or scratch anywhere else. The battery has held up well. I can easily watch two full movies on a single charge. Yes its 5 years old, so the battery doesn't have the capacity it once did. Replacement batteries are readily available, but sadly they are almost the price of a whole new player. I'm considering a DVD-LS83 with a larger screen, less battery life, and much heavier. But it is a whole lot less money than I paid for the LS-55 brand new (read way over 500 dollars).

This is a really great portable DVD player. It has served me extremely well.

The battery life of the DVD-LS50 is 2.9 hours at the minimum LCD brightness. The Panasonic portable DVD player includes high-speed, 5-step Smooth Motion Scan, a feature that provides crystal-clear forward and reverse scan, in 5 speeds. At the highest setting, the unit scans at an incredible 100 times normal speed. Panasonic portable DVD player optimizes the viewing experience by adding two key features - Dialog Enhancer and Cinema Mode. Dialog Enhancer boosts the center channel volume - where most of the principal dialog emanates when playing a Dolby Digital 5.1 disc - by 6dB. Cinema Mode improves the picture quality by reducing glare, softening resolution and improving visibility of details in dark scenes - resulting in a more realistic, cinema-like image.

Panasonic DVD-LS50 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Specifications

Enjoy your favorite movies wherever you roam with Panasonic's portable DVD-LS50 multiformat DVD player. Featuring a 7-inch screen, the 16:9 aspect ratio DVD-LS50 enables you to watch movies in widescreen format or conventional 4:3 formats such as letterbox and pan-and-scan. The LCD can be manually adjusted to a variety of different angles that can accommodate a wide range of viewing positions. The DVD-LS50 also features built-in stereo speakers, a rechargeable battery with a battery life of up to 3 hours, audio output for Dolby Digital and DTS, and a remote control.

In addition to DVD video discs, the DVD-LS50 is compatible with DVD-Audio, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, video and audio CDs, MP3, WMA, and CD-R/-RW discs. It also supports HighMAT (High-Performance Media Access Technology), a technology codeveloped by Panasonic and Microsoft that improves the method of storing, arranging, and playing back digital photo, music, and video collections on recordable discs, such as DVD and CD recordable media.

With the high-speed, 5-step Smooth Motion Scan feature, you'll get crystal-clear forward and reverse scan at 100 times normal speed at its highest setting. The Cinema Mode function lessens glare, providing colors that are more cinemalike, and picture resolution that is gentler to the eyes. It also improves the visibility of details in dark scenes by automatically adjusting picture contrast, and helps to suppress color smearing as well. The Dialogue Enhancer feature increases the center-channel volume relative to other channels, making movie dialogue easier to hear and understand.

The DVD-LS50 has 1 composite A/V out and a 3.5 mm headphone minijack. It offers advanced virtual surround sound, headphone surround sound, and optical digital audio output for Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound--making this road warrior a complete solution for your home theater as well.

Audiovox D1710 7-Inch Slim Line Portable DVD Player

2010-03-09T08:22:00.001-08:00

Audiovox D1710 7-Inch Slim Line Portable DVD Player Review

We got this as a gift from my father-in-law when we were flying cross-country with a new baby. It worked great when we needed it to keep her occupied on the plane. Since then, we have frequently taken it out to dinner with us and turned it on when we eat and can't use our hands to play with her and keep her busy. I love it!

I wish it had a battery life indicator on it to let us know when it needs charging or how much life is left in the battery so we can ration it if needed. Also, when camping, I tried setting it up FULLY open in the mesh pocket of her pack and play (pen) but when fully open, the picture goes off. Either that, or the button got pushed to make it think it was closed. Anyway, it didn't work for that purpose.

It's very portable and I regret when I forget to bring it to dinner with us now that she's not so easily entertained. Pair this with a Baby Einstein video, and it's a new parent's MUST HAVE! Just don't forget to charge it or bring the charger with you if you plan to run it for a long time. It doesn't hold a charge if left sitting on the shelf for a while. It's frustrating to have it die just when you were counting on it. But, now that I KNOW it does that, I know to charge it more often, and especially before we go out to a nice dinner.

The sound is fairly low in a loud place, but the picture is really what keeps her content, so that hasn't mattered. Headphones are out of the question for a 14 month old! :)

We even used it in the nursery for a while when we needed more sleep and she was getting up too early. Hooked this baby up to a little TV and let it run on repeat in the early morning and she was happy as a clam until we came around to the land of the living with our little lark.

I love this thing and thank my father-in-law for it all the time! THANKS JIM!!!!!

Samsung DVD-L1200 12-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

I've seen some of the reviewers complain about the size of this DVD Player. I have no problem at all when it comes to the size. Then they mention "why not get a laptop"? Well, I have one and it *does* play DVD's but it's twice as big (and 3x's heavier) and I rather have the portable DVD anytime. Of course, my laptop is over 5 years old and I'm sure there are lighter and smaller versions out there today. I've found it a HUGE lifesaver when I'm sick in bed (I have no TV in the bedroom) or just want to relax in a big comfy chair. I've taken it on a plane a few times, but I don't like to do that because it's a hassle to carry AND carrying my carry-on luggage. So I rarely bring it.

I'm glad I bought it and I DO think it's worth the money.

Samsung DVD-L1200 12-Inch Portable DVD Player Overview

12" Portable DVD Player

Samsung DVD-L1200 12-Inch Portable DVD Player Specifications

Early Adopters Pick: November 2003. The world's first portable DVD player with a 12-inch LCD screen.

Pushing the limits of portability, Samsung's widescreen DVD-L1200 DVD player manages to pack a laptop-rivaling 12-inch TFT LCD screen into a chassis standing a mere inch high when folded. Enjoy the best of your movies, music, and digital photography through the player's multiformat playback abilities, including MP3 and JPEG image CD-Rs and CD-RWs as well as standard DVD-Videos, DVD-Rs, and commercial CDs.

The whole family can listen, too, through either the unit's inline stereo speakers or its generous three .125-inch headphone jacks. Spatializer virtual surround simulates enveloping sound effects through two channels, and motion zoom allows extreme magnification of selected screen areas, without distortion, even while a movie is playing.

The screen displays discs using 480p progressive scanning (named for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image), creating a high-resolution picture with sharper images and fewer motion artifacts than conventional portables.

Other great features include screen inversion, which flips the widescreen picture vertically so you can mount the player upside down, as in a kitchen or an RV, and Samsung's Smart Screen Brightness Control, which monitors ambient light and adjusts the LCD's backlight accordingly to improve clarity and contrast and extended your battery life. The unit's rugged disc bay ensures that the show goes on no matter how you position the player.

Composite- and S-video outputs let you hook the player up with your home television, while its coaxial digital-audio output will channel discrete, 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound to a range of audio/video receivers and surround speaker setups. For extra convenience, the AV output doubles as a switchable AV input, letting you hook up a camcorder or gaming device for portable big-screen viewing.

What's in the Box
DVD player, battery pack (affixes to back of player), AC adapter, power cord, credit-card remote control, remote battery, composite- and S-video interconnect cables, stereo analog audio interconnect, user's manual, and warranty information.

I love my portable DVD player. Sure, the battery life really stinks, but other than that my DVD player can do anything.
I wouldn't pay 5 for it now, what with more superior machines out, but I am fond of this one and would recommend it to friends.

Initial IDM-1560 Portable DVD Player , Silver

2010-01-28T03:09:00.001-08:00

Initial IDM-1560 Portable DVD Player , Silver Review

This is a very nice cute little DVD player. The size of a portable CD player, it is easily transportable from TV to TV, and to the car, the reason I bought it; my 3-year old minivan came with a VHS player with an auxiliary input, so this is the perfect size to sit on the floor in the back for the kids to watch their DVDs (no more reason to buy VHS movies ever again!) Playing is perfect, no skips at all navigating the twists and turns of Chicago's bumpy roads.

Just a few minor gripes: When I power off my car, the cigarette lighter goes dead, so the player doesn't remember where it was on the DVD, so you have to track forward to the correct scene (I guess that's more of a gripe about my van than about the player). Also, the remote control is very weak; you have to be within a few feet of the player and be pointing right at it for the remote to work; hard for the kids to do when the player is on the floor.

I chose this model because it comes with both an AC power cord for in the house and a car adapter for the cigarette lighter, so you don't have to buy an extra adapter. But be aware that it does not come with a battery; the manual describes an optional snap on rechargeable battery pack, but I don't know what that would cost.

2010-01-21T15:26:00.001-08:00

RCA DRC618N Tablet-Style 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

I bought this little player for air travel.
Originally, I was looking at the fold open style until I saw this one. The price was right, so I took the chance.

Great player!
Picture quality is excellent for the size.
No 'fold open' hinges or latches to wear out.
I especially like the design of setting it up like a picture frame stand on the airplane serving tray in front of me.
Battery life so far has been 3:30 to 3:50 which is enough to get through "Return of the King".

The "back of seat" bag (included) looks like it would be quite nice to use in the van. We have a factory DVD player, but now have the option of letting some of the kids watch a DVD while others play N64...with headphones all around.

In short, I am pleased with the quality/value of the player.

RCA DRC618N Tablet-Style 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Feature

7-inch LCD screen with 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio to match the dimensions of your favorite DVD movies

2010-01-10T23:15:00.001-08:00

Mintek MDP-1770 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

RELIABILITY

Purchased this in mid-2004 -- used for lots of car trips, airplane trips, and motels. Still works. This is quite a robust little DVD player, and a darn good buy.

Black screen problem -- it seemed to get a bit confused; turn it off, switch to the output type you want (onscreen is 'tft', a different display is 'video'). The black screen problem went away. Note, even when the screen is black, you can see the image in strong light, it's just that the light behind the screen is not on because it thinks you're watching a different TV.

It starting making clicking noises a couple of years ago as the disk spins around. Obviously, this is not a harbinger of doom, as it has still been running strong.

I had problems with it recognizing a disk, once. Turns out there was condensate on the lens, so I dried it and the problem was again resolved.

FEATURES
Pretty well listed everywhere else. Yes the image is good. Yes the sound is better through earphones. Battery life is 2.5 hours...still, after 2 years.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black)

2010-01-01T11:06:00.001-08:00

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) Review

This Blu-ray disc player by Panasonic impresses me. The setup is very easy; you'll need a "HDMI" cable but that's about it for setup. It works very well with my HD television. It's important to note from the start, however, that the degree to which this will display images and produce high quality sound is only as good as the rest of the other devices you're using--for example, the HD television and/or receiver. The load time is a few seconds more but for the splendid picture quality along with that crystal clear audio it's well worth waiting a few extra seconds.

I use this almost exclusively for watching Blu-ray discs; the quality of the sound and video is flawless. The upconversion for standard DVDs is also nothing short of wonderful, too! However, there's more to this machine if you want to use it to its fullest capabilities. Through the Internet you can use this player to view YouTube, weather and more. You can also watch video using Amazon's On-Demand streaming service; and that's excellent. In addition, I like that the player has an Ethernet port, a USB slot--and there's a slot for a SD card, too! It has the energy star seal of approval, too.

It's very important to note that this is, in a sense, a type of computer. Therefore, expect the machine to check for necessary updates (aka firmware). Just in case this doesn't happen, don't panic--there's a way to get around this potential problem. Go to the Panasonic website and you will find very clear instructions to let you download the required updates so this Blu-ray player will continue to function. Specifically, download the updates onto a blank CD-R and then just copy them to the player by inserting the CD-R with the updates into the player's drive. That will do the trick--after all, you don't want to have this player cease to function; it would be reduced to a black box, left all alone to gather dust in the land of unwanted, forgotten and castaway toys. This is a rather minor inconvenience; the player works so well that I can practically overlook this.

Overall, this is a good Blu-ray player although I hope that down the road Blu-ray players won't need updates. I highly recommend this Blu-ray player by Panasonic.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black

2009-12-12T17:41:00.001-08:00

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black Review

I love this player. DMP-BD60 viewed on Panasonic TC-L32G1.

1. DVD play back is really nice. The up conversion gives true colors etc. Its a very nice step up from progressive scan DVD playback. A lot of forum talk is spent on dvd up conversion "not all up conversion is equal".

2. Viera link. I had the player installed in a hidden view. partly for the clean look, but mostly so the 2year old would not find a new toy. I still remember my friends 2 year old feeding the VCR a pb&j sandwich. LOL what a mess that was. My options get a Panasonic VieraLink player or a remote extender. The link is perfect. I can power on or off the player via the tv remote. Search Amazon video on demand, YouTube, Weather, etc all with the tv remote. The tv remote also works nicely for Blu-Ray playback too. Simply press the VieraLink button then ok and your menu will popup.

3. Viera Cast. This is a very nice feature. Current options include weather, stocks, YouTube, Amazon Video on demand. They have more coming, but have not announced who/what in the US. "Europe is expanding VIERA CAST service to include Germany's largest news and entertainment portal, BILD.de, as well as several European TV broadcasters such as ZDF (Germany), NOVA (Czech) and, in the near future, RTVE (Spain). Furthermore, Eurosport will be available in two additional languages (Swedish and Polish)." The only complaint is my Internet service provider slows down the connection of streaming video. Unfortunately this hits Amazon video service. Amazon HD is clearly better than YouTube HD, but YouTube does not suffer the pause to load that Amazon gets. *I get this with netflix playback on my pc too.* I put in a sd card hoping it would work for the Amazon video as it is needed for Blu-Ray Live features on some disks. Unfortunately I could not discern a difference in the playback.

4. Blu-Ray playback. Video and sound are excellent. *You need a 1gig SD card to use Blu-Ray live. It is in the manual, but not prominently listed as it should be.

5. Firmware. When I connected to the net it popped up and asked if I wanted to install the newest version. When I clicked ok it was painless. I just had to wait for it to download and restart. Very simple no hassle upgrade.

I played DVD's and Blu-Ray disks before upgrading the firmware. I did not notice any problems before or after the upgrade. I have had the player less than a month, so I cannot comment on durability, aside from it worked correctly out of the box. The build quality looks and feels solid to me. I have a 25' run of HDMI cable connecting the unit with the TV. No issue with connection just a wait screen as the player boots up. I did not bother to time it, but it is slightly longer than it takes my Samsung phone to turn on and access the phone contacts menu.

** A note to people that use fiber optic cable for sound. Regardless of the brand of the device you use. You will get a slight delay in the sound. Simply choose the TV speakers or the theater speakers, etc. If you don't you will hear a type of echo effect. Choosing to use HDMI pass through "should" allow both to be used together.

**Its is definitely worth looking into using the same brand to reduce the remote clutter. Check you Tv for linking options.

** If you want to stream video etc from your pc or nas this is not the player for you. Check out the LG its probably the best at streaming content from your nas or pc.

*** The DMP-BD60 does give you the option to store video and pictures on a SD card in JPEG, AVCHD,and MPEG2 format for play back. (AVCHD is a High Definition video format that you can use with standard DVD discs or an SD card.)
You can connect USB devices that support bulk only transfer. CBI (Control/Bulk/Interrupt) is not supported. This allows you to connect some cameras to view pictures etc via usb cable or usb memory dongle. To note the manual does not list a video format supported via USB only JPEG pictures and MP3 sound formats.

Mintek MDP-1720 7-Inch Slim Portable DVD Player

2009-12-08T02:39:00.001-08:00

Mintek MDP-1720 7-Inch Slim Portable DVD Player Review

First, a correction to Amazon's description: this player does *not* offer S-video output, unfortunately. Composite video is all you get. On the other hand, a feature not mentioned in the description is that you can feed composite video *into* this player, and hence use it as a 7" video display screen! That could be very handy for reviewing your camcorder movies...though if you're shooting in 4:3 (normal) mode, the picture will be a little stretched on the MDP-1720's 16:9 screen.

One other error: Amazon's technical description states "Frame advance: No," but in fact this player does support frame advance--you simply press the pause button repeatedly to step forward frame by frame. Can't go backward, though.

As to general performance: everything works fine, and the picture is excellent on the LCD screen. Sound from the built-in stereo speakers lack bass, but that's to be expected with any player this size. Sound through the headphone jack, on the other hand, is excellent.

Construction is impressively solid, and the ultra-slim aluminum case is a pleasure to behold--very similar in feel and appearance to Apple's classy Titanium PowerBooks. Travelers, and in particular RVers, will be pleased to know that this comes with both a 120VAC adapter and a 12VDC adapter.

All in all, it's easy to see why this was one of only two models recommended by Consumer Reports in a recent test of seven portable DVD players (CR, December 2004, p. 28)--coming in just slightly behind a Sony player that sells for 0!

Mintek MDP-1810KIT Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD

2009-11-30T09:03:00.001-08:00

Mintek MDP-1810KIT Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD Review

I have had this portable DVD player (Mintek 1810) since 2003. That's right, 2003--for almost seven years. Although I took it with me on airplanes in the first few years, I have never owned a "real" home DVD player, because the Mintek is all I need. I hook it up to the various Tvs I've owned over the years and it functions as my 365-days-a-year DVD player.

NEGATIVES

There is only one major negative with the Mintek 1810, and that is that the *only* way to control the DVD is to use the remote control. That is, the only buttons or controls on the actual unit itself are a Menu button, a chapter (<< and >>) skipping button, and the usual Play, Pause, and Stop. If you want to fast forward or rewind; change the screen format; or do any other more refined actions, you are forced to use the remote control. The remote is a good one (see below), but if you've lost it, if the battery is run out, or if it has broken, you are left with no way to refine your watching of a DVD.

POSITIVES

1. Durability! Have I ever put this thing through its paces: I've lugged it through several moves; carted it around in boxes and cars and airplanes; had to open it up and dump it in an airport security bin 20-30 times; and it has even fallen off my (low) table a few times.

I too was skeptical when I first bought it, worrying that this off-brand would be a waste of money. But I didn't have a lot of money to spend at the time, and did not have a laptop computer; my long and frequent airplane rides needed a modest enterntainment upgrade, and the Mintek appeared to provide it for less money than the big name brands.

2. Sound Quality. This baby has better sound quality and volume control in its tiny--and powerful--speakers than my 00 LCD (brand name) flatscreen TV. When this is placed on a knee-high table and turned to a even a medium-low volume, you can hear it across an average sized room. FYI, when it's hooked up to your TV, it's best to turn down the volume of the unit completely, so you can concentrate on the sound coming through the TV.

3. Decent color and picture quality; nice big screen for something so portable.

NEUTRALS

The reason I am reviewing this now is because over the past few months, the mini-remote control that comes with the player has started winding down. I'm not sure exactly why, but for some reason, the battery does not hold a charge for longer than a few days now. Perhaps this is because I really abuse the remote; it falls on the ground, gets tossed about inbetween uses, and otherwise takes a beating. Because of my shoddy treatment of this remote over seven years, I'm pretty impressed with the fact that it's only now starting to run into problems.

I'm now looking to find a replacement for this remote--however, if it's too expensive, I'll just buy a new Mintek.

SUMMARY

I won't promise that Mintek or any other off-brand will give you the same length of years, durability, and performance as mine has. Other reviewers here have clearly had their problems with the product, and I respect their contributions. But, based on my personal experience, getting an electronic of ANY sort is a gamble--I have had a Magnavox TV-VCR combo, Sony flatscreen TV, and RCA mini flash camcorder all permanently fail within a year, a few months, and a few days, respectively. And one of these companies provided such atrocious customer service that it belied the conventional wisdom that "brand name electronics companies will stand by their product and have better repair or return than non-name brand companies."

If you do not have a lot of money to spend on DVD entertainment, I say you might as well give Mintek a shot. Personally, I've been so impressed with this product, that I would buy a different product from this company in the future.

Mintek MDP-1810KIT Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD Overview

Whether you're traveling cross-country or want to show your DVDs at a friend's house across town, the Mintek MDP-1810KIT portable DVD player is an all-in-one, easy-to-carry entertainment package: the player and its stereo headphones slide into a supplied carry case. The unit plays DVD-Video (both NTSC and PAL-formatted discs), CDs (including recordable and rewriteable CDs), MP3-filled music discs, and Kodak Picture CDs for custom slide shows of your digital photos. A bright, 8-inch TFT(active-matrix) color LCD makes any program look great, and it's configured in a 16:9 widescreen dimension that matches the shape of most DVD movies.

At home, you can connect the player to a television (either composite- or S-video), and--when it's hooked up to a compatible audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system--the tiny player can bring soundtracks to life with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel sound.

Designed for easy use on the road, the MDP-1810KIT includes a high-capacity rechargeable lithium battery pack, a car power adapter, and an AC power adapter. Its built-in anti-shock system helps prevent annoying interruptions. Listen through headphones or use the built-in stereo speakers. A wireless remote control will come in handy when you're sitting across the room from the player, as when you have it connected to a TV.

It supports multiple audio language tracks and multilingual subtitles, and you can select from multiple camera angles on DVDs providing that option. Among other key features are 6-mode picture zoom, 4-speed slow motion, fast forward and reverse search, chapter preview ("digest") mode, random play, and repeat play--a feature that's especially useful for trade shows or demonstrations.

What's in the Box
CD player, a high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (external), a remote control, remote battery, stereo headphones, a carrying case, an AC/DC power adapter, a vehicle DC power adapter, audio/video hookup cables, and a user's manual.

Audiovox D1812 8-Inch Portable DVD Player

2009-11-24T05:01:00.001-08:00

Audiovox D1812 8-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

I received this DVD player, with carrying case, cables, headphones, and remote at the end of 2005. It has served me well on trips, and at home for almost three years.
The only things I dislike about it are that the DVD lid sometimes reads 'open' when I know it's latched closed. This probably because the sensor switch is worn or out of position. The other is that the player sometimes freezes on scene-select menus, or manual advance to the next scene.
Both of these things have only shown up in the last few months.
On a plane, on the road, or at home, this little unit has worked well for me.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another of these D1812's.

Audiovox D1500A 5-Inch Portable DVD Player with Car Kit Review

We bought this for our kids to use on road trips, but shortly after purchasing it, started using it as our main DVD player when our original home cheapo DVD player broke. We have not a single problem in over two years of daily use, and with at least monthly use in the car, where it has been knocked over and abused by two little kids. It plays not only DVDs but VCDs and the DVDs we burn on our home computer without a glitch. Great purchase and we recommend it highly! Our next DVD player will be an Audivox.

Audiovox D1500A 5-Inch Portable DVD Player with Car Kit Specifications

Audiovox's affordable and portable D1500A features a 5-inch, 4:3 aspect ratio LCD and compatibility with DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded discs. Take favorite movies and music on the plane, on the bus, or even in the car for the kids--a supplied adapter lets you power the unit right from a dashboard cigarette lighter. The unit also includes a remote control for hassle-free operation in tight quarters.

Composite-video and stereo analog-audio inputs and outputs let you hook the player up to other audio/video gear for viewing on a TV or--as with video games--through the D1500A's own screen. All audio and video inputs and outputs are of the minijack .125-inch size, so compatible adapter cables are required (one stereo analog audio and one composite-video cable are supplied).

The supplied rechargeable NiMH batteries provide up to three hours of playback (power consumption depends on the operations of the player, such as screen brightness, volume level, etc). The battery pack features high storage capacity and low susceptibility to degradation, as the NiMH batteries don't have a "memory effect," making it safe to recharge them irrespective of whether they're fully or only partially spent. Generally, the batteries need about five hours for complete charging.

Playback options include frame-by -frame slow motion, zoom, and multiple angle viewing (with applicable discs). Headphones are not included.

Aiwa XDDW1 Portable DVD Player

2009-11-19T03:22:00.001-08:00

Aiwa XDDW1 Portable DVD Player Review

I have been using this machine for about a year and am very pleased. Admittedly I have extra batteries so the duration of use problem does not exist for me. One good feature that few users have picked up on is that this machine outputs PAL as well as NTSC. I don't need this for output purposes since we don't use PAL TV's in this country, but the switches also affect the internal screen and allow a fullsize image to be seen without distortion. Thus for example if you use a DVD which is not set up for the 9x16 screen (most older movies aren't) and you try to watch it on the NTSC setting, used in this country, the image will not fully fill the screen. If you expand the image to fill the screen using the screen setting control, it will fill the screen but at a cost of some detail and a sort of screen door effect on the picture. Most players sold in this country have this problem. If you use the PAL and the setting switches on the AIWA, you can get a full width image with virtually no distortion. Thus you effectively get a bigger screen, since you get to use the full width of its 5.8 inches. I also appreciate the full size RCA audio outputs since they allow the use of better quality interconnects. Most other machines use a miniplug for this and there are few avaialble connectors and none of any quality.

Aiwa XDDW1 Portable DVD Player Feature

5.8-inch active-matrix screen

Aiwa XDDW1 Portable DVD Player Overview

Why limit yourself to watching movies at home? This portable DVD player works with a rechargeable battery and allows you to play DVD movies or CD recordings virtually anywhere. Extra-wide perspective Active-Matrix TFT Color screen offers exceptionally realistic color and sharpness that compliment the increase fidelity that DVD delivers. Located below the screen are the manual set-up, brightness, color and mode controls buttons. The mode control allows you to switch between screen aspect ratios: full screen, which displays 16 x 9 or widescreen; normal, which leaves left and right black borders; zoom, which enlarges the picture from the center point of the display to fill the screen; off, which is convenient if you hook the unit up to an exterior monitor. There is a composite video output, including RCA right and left audio outs, S-video and a headphone jack. Additionally, there is a digital audio out (optical), which makes this unit Dolby Digital and DTS compatible for those of you with a stand-alone decoder or a Dolby Digital / DTS ready receiver. There is also an in/out switch. With the switch in the out position, you can send composite or S-video and audio signals to an external monitor. Some other attributes include a 96kHz/24-bit audio D/A converter, a 10-bit video D/A converter, complete onscreen display, chapter and time search (DVD), and even a mark function that gives you the ability to bookmark a movie you haven't finished or to make your own favorite scene selection points. The Aiwa XD-DW1 also has a feature called Q-Surround, which is designed to simulate a surround sound feel through the built-in stereo speakers.

Aiwa XDDW1 Portable DVD Player Specifications

The Aiwa XDDW1 has a 5.8-inch-diagonal viewable screen, and a Dolby Digital input and decoder for exceptional sound quality. It's compact and portable, and weighs only 2.5 pounds.

The XDDW1 DVD system is the format of the future for bringing home movies with theatrical drama and impact. Because movies are recorded on disc instead of tape, you get fast access to individual scenes, just as your CD player lets you quickly access music tracks.

Because DVD uses efficient digital data storage technologies, there's room on each disc for multilanguage soundtracks, subtitles, and standard and letterbox views. Even new widescreen aspect ratios can be encoded on DVD discs. If you're serious about movies, DVD is the format you've been waiting for.

Panasonic DVD-LV55 Portable DVD Player

2009-11-18T03:11:00.001-08:00

Panasonic DVD-LV55 Portable DVD Player Review

I could not be more pleased with my purchase and use of the Panasonic "55." Hours now spent in airports, on planes, in hotels and on longer "road" trips speed by. The battery REALLY lasts 3 hours, and 55 is so easy to operate that my 3 year old granddaughter turns it on and watches it, transfixed, for as long as her favorite Disney DVD lasts. Quality? Home theater quality sound and picture, esp'ly with earphones. Screen too small for enjoyment? Dont believe it for a moment; the screen is so close it is NO problem. Price? $... is great, esp'ly when compared to other Portables. Any needed accessory? Yes. Get a recharger for the car/plane. Panasonic advertizes it, but i havent seen it offered yet by Amazon. But perhaps i havent looked hard enough.

Panasonic DVD-LV55 Portable DVD Player Feature

Portable DVD/CD/Video CD player with built-in 5-inch LCD screen
DTS and Dolby Digital compatible

Built-in stereo speakers
Superthin design for convenient travel

Panasonic DVD-LV55 Portable DVD Player Overview

For movie buffs, few experiences in life are as rewarding as watching your choice of DVDs on a train, plane, or automobile. Heads turn, new friends are made, and best of all, we have the chance to catch up on our movie watching. The Panasonic DVD-LV55 delivers all of that, with some true state-of-the-art features.

Surprisingly slim (especially before the rechargeable battery snaps on), the DVD-LV55 easily fits into a briefcase or backpack. As with all electronics, we suggest you treat it gently--even though the build quality is exceptionally solid. Similarly, the unit can take a good amount of jostling without any compromise in picture or sound. (You can also use it as a portable CD player!) The DVD-LV55 appears to share the same chassis as its bigger brother, the 7-inch LV75. The extra margin around the 5-inch LCD screen draws even more attention to the display's slighter stature.

The picture is bright and sharp, even on fine details and when viewed up close, which is really the only way to watch a 5-inch screen. For optimal playback on the built-in 16:9 monitor, we recommend watching anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 widescreen movies. However, be forewarned that you will lose a bit of quality on nonanamorphic titles, and 2.35:1 CinemaScope movies, which introduce a black bar at top and bottom, will look really small. You can also connect a video camera to view your camcorder work on the 5-inch screen.

The two 1-inch speakers located left and right, just below the screen, are a pleasant alternative to headphone listening, but their size and design make them inherently limited. While voices and most higher frequencies sounded just fine, there was no bass to speak of, and loud noises at high volume constantly taxed their limitations. And even the highest volume is not very loud. The virtual surround sound (VSS) works to expand the sound stage when using outboard speakers or headphones, and creates the illusion of rear-channel effects. VSS is quite convincing, and offers two settings, depending on just how much processing you enjoy.

Through a proper audio-video setup, picture and sound are both outstanding, with a crisp, colorful image through the S-Video connection and rich reproduction of both Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Sound (DTS) soundtracks. Technical performance is as good as most dedicated home theater decks on the market.

The slim-line remote control has 35 soft-touch keys that provide all the functionality you'd expect from any full-size DVD player. Although the 60-degree signal sensor window is a bit narrow, the more than 20-foot range is impressive. All of the basic functions are accessible on the unit itself, with an innovative directional disc in place of arrow keys. The small LCD panel reports system status, including a battery-life indicator. But the single greatest convenience might be the marker system for the start-again, stop-again viewing habits of on- the-go folk, who might need to switch off in the middle of a designated chapter.

Although you can get an additional couple of inches in screen size for a few hundred dollars more, Panasonic's DVD-LV55 is a great portable movie machine that offers excellent picture quality, numerous features, and a lightweight design that we can heartily recommend.

Pros:

Audio enhancements make the most of movies-to-go
Excellent forward/reverse scanning, up to 100x normal speed
Battery now good for one full movie up to about three hours; charges in four

Cons:

No headphones included
In general, seems second best to its same-generation partner, the 7-inch DVD-LV75

Panasonic DVD-LV55 Portable DVD Player Specifications

The Panasonic DVD-LV55 portable DVD player sports a 5-inch LCD screen and optical output for both DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound. Additional built-in features include stereo speakers, a battery recharger, and a headphone jack. This player offers S-video and composite-video outputs as well as a 24-bit, 96 kHz audio digital-to-analog converter and 10-bit video conversion.

The zoom screen selector allows you to watch movies in the standard 16:9 widescreen format or conventional formats such as letterbox and pan and scan. Additional features include icon-based onscreen programming, virtual surround sound, a slim remote, frame advance, chapter preview, auto off, five-speed smooth scan, and title/chapter search with marker function.

The player measures 7.25 by 0.9 by 5.5 inches and comes with a remote control, rechargeable battery pack, audio/video cables, and an AC adapter. You can expect up to 3.5 hours of playback time with the battery pack.

Panasonic offers a one-year warranty on parts, 90 days on labor.

Audiovox D1705 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD

2009-11-08T15:05:00.001-08:00

Audiovox D1705 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD Review

I purchased this DVD about 2 years ago for my daughter to use in the car for long trips. I must admit that I love this product--picture was good, the sound was good, very portabele especially with the slim battery pack that attaches to the botton of the DVD player and it seldoms skips even with hard bumps or driving over frost heaves or holding it uneven. During daylight, it is harder to see the screen (not sure if the other brands will do any better). The really great thing for us is that this DVD was multi-regional. Because of that feature I had purchased 2 more Audiobox D1708 portable players for friends--which is not as sleek looking as the D1705, especially since battery goes on the back of the player. At this point, the 3 Audiobox DVDs that I have purchased were all multi-regional.

Lately after 2 years, the D1705 is no longer working right. The screen will momentarily work perfect then it will go off, then it might work perfect again after 5 mins. Although the unit is still usable as a DVD player if plugged into a regular TV monitor. So, to replace this malfunctioning unit, I purchased a D1708 (I didn't know at that time that the D1705 were still available)--however, to my horror, it is NO LONGER MULTI-REGIONAL!!! I called Audiobox to inquire if they just started limiting the DVD's to Region 1--and much like the other customers, I had a really bad experience with the Audiovox customer service--very rude and accusatory. The person that I spoke to accused me of tampering the units to make them multi-regional because she said that Audiovox only makes Region 1 DVD players (I did wish I were smart enough to tell her right off that I would not have bothered calling them if I already knew how to change the unit I just returned to a multiregional player). Now that I know that these D1705 still exists, I would have liked to replace my malfunctioning unit with this one since the battery pack we have still works for 3 hours (knock on wood)--the spare battery would be great on long plane rides. But now I am hesitant to support Audiovox anymore and if they stop selling multi-regional players--then they really don't have my business anymore. Besides, I don't really know if these portable DVD players could possibly have a longer life than 2 years.

Panasonic DVD-LX97 Portable DVD Player

2009-11-07T15:03:00.001-08:00

Panasonic DVD-LX97 Portable DVD Player Review

We bought this specifically because it has a long battery life. We bought this (for our 2 year old) to take on an overseas (10 hour) flight home for Christmas. While the description says the battery lasts 10 hours, reading the manual you will see that it lasts 10 hours when the LCD screen is on (-5) (lowest), 7-8 hours on (0), and 5 hours on (+5) (brightest). We found that the 0 setting was plenty light for the plane rides, and we had no issues with battery length. We watched a total of 4 movies on the plane, and had no issue with the battery. We had the volume up (as our son is not fond of headphones)and we could hear clearly over all the noise on the plane. People were even asking us to turn the volume down! It was wonderful to keep us and our little one occupied on such a long flight! On the plane ride home, my husband and I watched a movie together with the headphones, thanks to the dual headphone jacks.

I LOVE that this DVD player comes with AC adapter, and we used this to watch a movie at the airport while waiting for our connection. We also used it to re-charge the battery to full while waiting for our connection. The power is dual voltage which makes it a plus if you are traveling or living overseas. You can play a movie right out of the box using the AC adapter.

The thing I like most is that no matter what angle you look at the screen, you can still see the picture clearly. Also the screen pivots, making for easy viewing at any angle. We used the cables to plug it into a TV and the picture/sound was great here as well. We also used it in the car, and the car adapter meant that we did not have to fuss with the battery. The screen is bright and big, and picture is clear and sharp.

I was hesitant to buy this product, because we have had a lot of trouble with our Panasonic DVD camcorder. This was the DVD player with the longest battery life I could find, and it is well worth the price. This product has gotten a lot of use in the last month, and no problems. I would recommend this to anyone! It is a great player and has exceeded my expectations. I am so happy with this purchase!

2009-11-02T12:00:00.001-08:00

CyberHome CHLDV1010 10-Inch Progressive Scan Portable DVD Player , Silver Review

I bought the CH-LDV1010A from QVC for around 300$ (5 payments even!). I was really interested in the 10" size to reduce eye strain and think it is the perfect size. We have watched a couple movies and I really can find no faults. I have nothing to compare it to as far as portables go, but I can say the picture is clear and colors are vivid. Sound - is not like a stereo TV, but good for a portable player as far as I am concerned. I was not going to settle for less than my expectations - would have sent this back- but it is a keeper.
The player came with the battery charged, no wait to charge up....came with all the added cords I need. I did also purchase the Cyberhome case for this 10" player from Amazon and highly recommend that too- and that even came with another set of ear phones!
I noticed there weren't many reviews for this player so I just wanted to add one and say it is worth the money and a great deal in comparison to other 10" players.

Sony DVPFX705 Portable DVD Player Review

The picture and sound are great. I took it on a road trip recently and was pleased. The remote works wonderfully. I did notice one glitch though, and that was maybe in the third or fourth episode the words coming out of the actors mouths were delayed. So I hit the next button bakwards or forwards then went back to the episode and it would play correctly.
It was weird it happened a couple of times but all in all I am pleased.

Mintek MDP-5861 5-Inch Portable DVD Player

2009-10-29T20:26:00.001-07:00

Mintek MDP-5861 5-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

Update: Broke a few months ago! Well, you all warned me. But it was good while it lasted.

The best thing about this player for us is its ability to play a variety of formats. Practically any video that you can burn on your DVD burner or CD burner can be played on this thing.

Of particular value to us is its ability to play regular DVD data disks with MPEG video files burned onto them. This means that you can grab any .MPG file off the Internet (from sites sharing non-copyrighted material, such as indymedia.org), burn it directly to a DVD (e.g., using Nero) with no time spent transcoding data to regular DVD or VCD format, and play it on this player. We keep it hooked permanently to our TV and use it to view all sorts of content that we download from the Internet. In addition, we have a PC-based Video Recorder that works like a VCR and that generates .MPG files, so we just burn those to DVDs in the manner described above and play them on our regular TV.

Not only does this player read video files burned onto standard ISO DVD+RWs, but it can also read UDF-formatted DVD+RWs. Unfortunately, while UDF can handle files larger than 2GB, and ISO cannot, if you have a very large video file you can put it on a UDF disk but only the first part of the file will play on this player (after which it simply stops playing). But who would have expected it to work with UDF at all?

We have so far not had any quality issues, other than a quirk that it has of freezing up sometimes if you are fast-forwarding (using the remote control) and then go directly to play. The way around this is to always hit pause to exit fast forwarding and then go to play. If we follow this rule, there is never a problem.

Sorry to hear about all of the quality issues and am running with the lid closed to save the LCD now, so thanks for the warnings.

Panasonic DVD-LV57 Portable DVD Player

2009-10-28T09:39:00.001-07:00

Panasonic DVD-LV57 Portable DVD Player Review

I've used this DVD player during air and auto travel for the past 4 months. It is a solid performer and I can recommend it highly. Light weight, good picture quality, intuitive controls, and the longest lasting battery in the market--which is more important than picture size since you cannot recharge batteries during a flight. My only beef with the unit is that it has anemic speakers (as do all competing units) that are hard to hear over jet engines and auto noise. But since speakers would annoy others anyway, I simply use headphones and get better sound. The player puts out enough audio to drive a companion's headphones. The screen has an adequate acceptance angle to permit two viewers to see a good image during a flight. When used with a cheap RF video modulator (e.g. Radio Shack), the DVD player transmits a very high quality picture to the TV's available in motels & vacation homes.

Panasonic DVD-LV57 Portable DVD Player Feature

Super thin and light design for convenient travel
5-inch diagonal widescreen (16:9) LCD monitor renders proportionally correct widescreen films
CD-R and MP3-CD compatible for music as well as movie enjoyment
DTS & Dolby Digital surround outputs (not decoding) for immersive digital surround sound when used with a compatible AV receiver
Approximately 5 hours battery life with included battery pack (when brightness is set to lowest level; may be shorter depending on conditions of use); 4:3/16:9/zoom screen selector lets you adjust picture size

Panasonic DVD-LV57 Portable DVD Player Overview

Panasonic offers its portable DVD-Video/Video CD/CD Player with built-in LCD Monitor. The rich in the advanced features player possesses super thin and light design for convenient travel and 5-inch diagonal widescreen LCD-monitor. Still Picture Display freezes an image to allow for precise picture quality adjustments. Optical Digital Output gives you enhanced sound quality and Virtual Surround Sound provides theater-like experience. Dialogue Enhancer helps make the dialogue channel audible over the other sound channels. Built-in function LCD allows for quick and easy confirmation of operation. Hi-Speed Smooth Motion Scan: 5 speed up to x 100 allows crystal clear scan quality while locating desired locations on a disc.

Panasonic DVD-LV57 Portable DVD Player Specifications

One of the most convenient and affordable portable DVD players, the DVD-LV57 is also an ideal travel companion for enjoying both movies and music. Battery life, once the biggest drawback in portable DVD players, now holds for five hours of playing time using the supplied battery pack--sufficient for watching both The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me on a cross-country or international flight.

Small speakers are built in, and the DVD-LV57 plays CDs, too--and not just the commercial kind. You can burn your own in MP3 and take those along for the ride as well (playability may vary depending on contents and discs). Screen size is a mere 5 inches diagonally (standard is 7), but what it lacks in widescreen prowess, it makes up for in portability and affordability.

If this will also be serving as your home player, it's well equipped for that with a 27 MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog converter and Cinema Mode for vivid luminance and color with improved detail even in dark scenes. An optical digital-audio output lets you connect the DVD-LV57 with your surround-decoding audio receiver for 5.1-channel sonic immersion, while an onboard dialogue enhancer emphasizes the center-channel sound to heighten intelligibility. Virtual surround sound simulates a surround effect through two channels, either headphones or home speakers.

Wherever you're watching, you'll appreciate Panasonic's high-speed, smooth-motion scan, giving you five speeds (up to 100x) for crystal-clear scan quality while locating desired places on a disc. Rounding out the playback functions, chapter preview helps refresh your memory by showing you the first three seconds of each previously viewed chapter on a given disc--helpful if you've interrupted playback for any length of time.

Convenience features include an auto-recharge impulse for the rechargeable battery pack, a slim remote control, and a top-panel joystick.

Toshiba SD-P2600 8.9-Inch Portable DVD Player , Silver Specifications

Note: Toshiba SD-P2600 8.9" Portable DVD Player (Silver) is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer Toshiba SD-P2700 8.9" Portable DVD Player instead.

Rely on it when you're on the road and savor its performance at home: Toshiba's SD-P2600 DVD-Video/DVD-Audio portable DVD player is distinguished by its sleek appearance, 8.9-inch polysilicon widescreen display, and high-resolution 1,024 x 600-pixel image. The TFT (thin-film-transistor) active-matrix display delivers film-like images rich in detail, color resolution, and contrast.

Besides media playback versatility--it handles everything from DVD-Video to DVD-R, VCD, MP3/WMA CD, and a host of image formats--the SD-P2600 offers Toshiba's ColorStream PRO progressive-scan component-video outputs (for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs) and employs an 10-bit, 54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter to cement its guarantee of stellar image quality. A sleek, credit-card-sized remote control simplifies operation.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The SD-P2600 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection (Digital Cinema Progressive). DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown reversal digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Further, a Toshiba feature called Direct Digital Solution sends a DVD's video information to the LCD driver directly from the unit's MPEG decoder in its original digital form, bypassing unnecessary digital-to-analog conversion steps to deliver the best picture quality possible.

Toshiba's digital photo viewer displays images right on your television in a variety of popular formats, including Konica, Fuji Photo, Kodak Photo CD, as well as standard JPEG files--there's even a Secure Digital/MultiMedia Card slot to further simplify viewing. An onscreen display walks you through the process of making your own slideshows, in which you can preset the viewing time of each slide as well as zoom, rotate, and pan each photo.

Leading-edge 24-bit/192 kHz digital-analog converters from Analog Devices delivers exceptional 2-channel DVD-Audio frequency response and dynamic range. DVD-Audio discs deliver high-resolution audio, capturing and reproducing all of the nuances of the original performance and offering high-resolution surround sound as well as stereo. (DVD-Audio resolution is available through the analog audio outputs only.)

A pair of built-in headphone jacks let you watch or listen with a partner, while Spatializer N-2-2 ULTRA and Natural Headphone virtual surround sound algorithms simulate surround through 2 speakers or 1 set of headphones. Built-in stereo speakers grant headphone-free listening through high-efficiency titanium drivers in bass-reflex enclosures for more full-bodied sound than typical portables produce.

The SD-P2600 passes both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals through its coaxial-type digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The supplied lithium-ion battery blends seamlessly with the player's cosmetic profile and offers around 3.5 hours of uninterrupted movie or music entertainment. The battery also charges quickly, in around 3 hours.

When used with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel systems, it automatically increases the center channel level to keep dialogue from being drowned out by overloud sounds from other channels. Hi-Speed Smooth Motion Scan Provides 5 speeds of rapid scan, with clear video images, up to 100x normal. Multiple Viewing Angle Capability gives you the ability to select viewing from various camera angles on DVDs encoded with the feature. Currently it is seen mostly on informational productions.

Panasonic DVD-LV75 Portable DVD Player Specifications

With its sleek, lightweight design and impressive build quality, Panasonic's DVD-L75 portable DVD player belongs in first class. The 7-inch-diagonal LCD screen is capable of displaying a very good picture, and the player attaches to an extremely robust battery pack rated at up to four hours, according to Panasonic. The DVD-LV75 also has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and comes with a miniature remote control.

Without the battery pack, the DVD-LV75 measures a mere 1 inch thick. The rectangular screen lifts open with the slide of a switch, revealing an LCD panel flanked by two tiny speakers. As with all the other portable DVD players we've tested, however, the speakers are fairly inadequate. A good pair of headphones is definitely a worthwhile investment, since portable DVD players don't really lend themselves to an audience of more than one.

The silver top panel contains a somewhat sparse array of control buttons, including the one flaw we found with this player: an awkward, thumb-size navigation tool that pivots left and right, up and down. Fortunately, a cool, mini remote control is also included for easy, alternate access to the onscreen menus and audio and video parameters set-up.

Other top-panel controls enable you to activate the virtual surround sound mode, player menu, DVD menu, and display, which give you on, stop, and pause buttons, plus skip buttons, which double as fast-forward and reverse controls by holding them down. Overall, we found these primary function buttons to be rather unintuitive; when you hold down the skip buttons to go back or forward, it's difficult to stop the DVD on the scene you want. However, Panasonic does provide a nifty, speed-adjustable onscreen scroll icon, similar to a jog shuttle, that makes it very easy to locate a specific scene.

The top panel includes a monitor button that changes the screen aspect ratios from standard 4:3 to 16:9 widescreen or 4:3 letterbox. The DVD-LV75 also enables you to adjust both brightness and color to five different levels. Other players we've tested allow greater control over picture settings, such as sharpness, tint, and color. The DVD-LV75's inability to do so renders a picture that leans from one extreme to the other--from overly bright and red to dull and gray. With brightness and color set between 2 and 3, however, we found the picture to be clear, if a little subdued.

That said, the DVD-LV75 produces a remarkably satisfying picture even in a well lit room. On airplanes, with the lights dimmed, this player will earn bonus points for picture quality.

The model we tested had virtually no dead pixels or manufacturing anomalies. The off-axis viewing angle was good, though not quite as impressive as Sharp's 7-inch model. Flesh tones on the Panasonic were natural, if a little anemic. Grays were convincingly realistic but slightly on the blue side. Overall, we found the picture to be rather one-dimensional, demonstrating a fondness for greens, yellows, and brown, while revealing an inability to reproduce convincing skin tones. In terms of overall picture quality, on a scale of one to five--with the Sharp MovieGoer receiving a five, and Pioneer's 7-inch model getting a 2.5--we're inclined to give Panasonic's DVD-LV75 a four.

The battery pack is smaller than a DVD case and snaps into place with ease. We were able to watch an entire movie and The Eagles' Hell Freezes Over DVD without using the AC/DC adapter. Before it began to wane, a low-battery indicator appeared on the top-panel display. The built-in recharger takes about 4.5 hours to rejuice the lithium-ion battery. Overall, this is the most impressive battery combination we've seen among today's 7-inch portable DVD players. It's smaller, lighter, and more robust than others we've tested.

The diminutive DVD-LV75 is by far the most versatile portable player we've seen. It has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders, so you can use it as a stand-alone player with your big-screen home theater system even if you don't own a receiver with built-in 5.1-channel processing. That's very cool. Since the DVD-LV75 also plays music CDs, you can use it as a portable or stand-alone CD player as well.

With its excellent design, flawless LCD panel, above average picture, and built-in digital audio decoders, we can safely declare that this is one of the best DVD players on the market. --Eric Gill

2009-10-16T19:13:00.001-07:00

Toshiba SD-P1500 Portable DVD Player Review

Use this more as a travel babysitter. Picture is great - and while I am sure the sound would be woefully inadequate for a big action movie - it works fine for kid's shows. Plus looking at it never had any doubt the sound was not great.

I do think the battery life could be better - key hint be sure to take the brightness all the way down or else you will get about an hour of battery life (I would agree with other reviewer that it would be easier if that was a button control rather than buried in the feature menu). When properly dimmed down I get way more. The battery life is still not great I would rather have bought with a bigger battery - but you have to buy it in addition to the unit and it ain't cheap.

Not quite ideal for the car but it is a big enough screen that it can be used there. Great for planes and hotel rooms. Very happy with the purchase.

Sony DVP-FX701 7-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player Review

I got this for Christmas 3 years ago and have been using it almost every day since them for over 2 hours. The sound quality is not so great in the car, but thats what headphones are for! Mine stopped working the other day though, I wish sony had a better support program though. If anyone knows how to stop the 'No Disc' error, please contact me at [...]

This DVD player is great, even if I got a few errors, but those are easily remedied. The only 2 problems are that there is not volume control on the remote and fast forward/slow buttons on the actual DVD player.

I recommend this DVD player for those who can take care of it and take it on trips, planes, and for universal use in the home environment.

Initial DVD-9510 Portable DVD Player with 4-Inch Screen

2009-10-09T21:07:00.001-07:00

Initial DVD-9510 Portable DVD Player with 4-Inch Screen Review

I have read all reviews and a lot of people have said that the product is bad because of its small screen. Well, the screen size is something you are aware of when you bought it. Even if you bought it online, the screen size is still listed, and you can get a ruler to see how big it would be. So I dont know how you can fault the machine for that. As far as it being pixelated, any small screen is gonna be pixelated unless it is a plasma screen, which would not be cheap. Secondly, many people say the battery is ugly and that it is an external. It is an external battery, true, but an internal battery would cost more and make the machine a lot bigger. While the battery may not make the player win any awards for style, unless you are buying it to show at competition, this really isn't a factor. I dont think your kids in the back seat would say "Daddy, i dont want to watch a movie, the battery is ugly." I have never had trouble playing any DVD's, there have been times a dvd wouldn't play, but it was because the dvd was smudged or had a finger print. All dvd players are finicky, and will not play if that is the case. The sound is very good, for the size of the speakers. I have had no trouble with the battery staying on and it does not feel like it is going to break off. But as with any electronic product, take care of it, if you drop it, it wont last long. As far as the "external cable" that connects the player to the battery, It is a whopping 2 inches long. As far as the power cord not stretching to the back seat, it does fine in my car. Of course it may not do so in a minivan or limousine that is longer, but your average 2 or 4 door you should have no problem. Thats why they dont have a warning label saying "The car adapter cord will not stretch to back seat", because all cars are DIFFERENT! I have had it for about 9 months now, no problems. If you are looking for a portable DVD player, that doesn't cost you a lot of money, this is a great option. If you dont like a small screen, dont get this model, get one with a bigger screen. If you need subtitles, dont even get a portable dvd player because sub titles do not work well on any of them. If your worried about it breaking, buy it at Wal-Mart, they return anything, just keep your reciept.

The D1708 features a 7-inch TFT active-matrix widescreen display with aspect ratio control so you can choose 16:9 for widescreen movies, standard 4:3, or a switchable option. It plays DVD-Video, CD, and MP3- and JPEG-formatted discs for a variety of options--even controls for how you'd like your JPEG digital photos to transition. DVD features include multiple angles, multilingual subtitles, parental lock, and slow motion.

The included rechargeable NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) battery offers up to 3 hours battery life so you can watch even the longest movies and not worry about losing power. The battery takes about 5 hours to fully charge, but unlike its lithium-ion counterparts, you don't have to fully charge and discharge the battery between uses to preserve its life.

Composite-video and stereo analog-audio inputs and outputs let you hook up additional AV gear for viewing through the D1708, including camcorders and gaming consoles. All audio and video inputs and outputs are of the minijack .125-inch size, so compatible adapter cables are required (a combination stereo analog audio and composite-video cable is supplied).

The D1708 also comes with an AC/DC power adapter and a DC vehicle cigarette-lighter power adapter.

What's in the Box
Portable DVD player, rechargeable NiMH battery pack, a "bonus pack" (2 sets of folding stereo headphones, a remote control with battery, and a carry pouch that doubles as a headrest mount), an AC power adapter, 1 audio/video cable, a cigarette-lighter DC power adapter, warranty information, and a user's manual.

Toshiba SD-P2500 8.9-Inch Portable DVD Player

2009-10-06T19:30:00.001-07:00

Toshiba SD-P2500 8.9-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

My 16 month old daughter and 12 year old step-daughter love that I have purchased this portable dvd player. Long car rides will never be the same again. Plus I'm sure my husband will get a lot of use taking it to work with him. I own a 2002 Dodge Durango and this unit fits perfectly between the two front seats and with my youngest behind me in her car seat she can't reach the unit to kick it. Battery life is long and charges quickly. Picture quality and sound is so good I don't need headphones to enjoy anything I am watching. This unit isn't very expensive for all the quality you get out of it so don't buy the cheap Minitek models because this one smokes them all.

It doesn't come with a car adapter, but go on ebay and they sell them cheap. Because of the size of the screen it was hard to find a decent case because most of them will only accomidate barely 8 inches. I went to Circuit City and they sell a bag called "Targus" and this bag will do the trick. I even brought my Toshiba 2500 into the store and sized it up. Plus the bag holds extra dvd's and cables, really a good buy and I recommend picking it up because this one switches from a back-of-chair viewing to a suspension between the two front seats.

If you can get your hands on this please do so. I did my homework on portable dvd players for over 6 months and I am proud to say I know I couldn't have done any better.

Toshiba SD-P2500 8.9-Inch Portable DVD Player Feature

8.9-inch widescreen TFT active-matrix display offers sharp, bright image
Reads DVD-Video and high-resolution DVD-Audio discs, as well as MP3 and WMA CDs, DVD-Rs, VCDs, and SD media cards
Super ColorStream PRO progressive-scan component-video outputs (for premium imagery on high-definition and HD-ready TVs and monitors)
Surface-mounted keypads grant "remote-free" operation of all essential functions
3.5-hour battery life, picture zoom, and stereo speakers for headphone-free listening

Toshiba SD-P2500 8.9-Inch Portable DVD Player Overview

Toshiba's SD-P2500 DVD-Video/DVD-Audio player is designed to deliver "no compromise" video and audio performance--for travel or for home theater. The company's second-generation DVD-Audio-equipped portable is distinguished by an 8.9-inch PolySilicon widescreen display whose high-resolution (1,024 x 600 pixel) image is far denser than its closest competitor. The TFT (thin-film-transistor) active-matrix display delivers film-like images rich in detail, color resolution, and contrast.

Besides media versatility (including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-R, MP3/WMA CD, and a host of image formats), the unit offers Toshiba's upgraded Super ColorStream PRO progressive-scan component-video outputs (for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs) and employs an 10-bit, 54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter to cement the guarantee of stellar image quality. Surface-mounted keypads grant "remote-free" operation of all essential functions, while a sleek, credit-card-sized remote control performs advanced operations.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SD-P2500 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The SD-P2500 also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Toshiba's Digital Photo Viewer displays images right on a television in a variety of popular formats, including Konica, Fuji Photo, Kodak Photo CD, as well as standard JPEG files--there's even a Secure Digital card slot to further simplify media viewing. An onscreen display walks you through the process of making a slideshows, in which you can preset the viewing time of each slide as well as zoom, rotate, and pan each photo.

Leading-edge 24-bit/192 kHz digital-analog converters from Analog Devices delivers exceptional two-channel DVD-Audio frequency response and dynamic range. DVD-Audio discs deliver high-resolution audio, capturing and reproducing all of the nuances of the original performance and offering high-resolution surround sound as well as stereo. Two built-in headphone jacks let you watch or listen with a partner. Dialogue Expansion improves intelligibility of a disc's center-channel frequencies, while Spatializer N-2-2 ULTRA and Natural Headphone virtual surround sound algorithms simulate surround through two speakers or headphones. Built-in stereo speakers grant headphone-free listening.

The supplied Lithium Ion battery blends seamlessly with the player's cosmetic profile and offers more than three hours of uninterrupted movie or music entertainment. During compact disc and DVD-Audio playback, the SD-P2500's LCD panel can be turned off, extending battery life even further. The SD-P2500 passes both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals through its coaxial-type digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

2009-10-03T17:58:00.001-07:00

Samsung DVD-L200 10-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

Someone wrote the new model only runs 1 hour longer than the previous model and no memory slot, I don't care about the memory slot but battery life, thats a huge deal if you like long movies.
Another says it dosen't remember where you left off, mine does. My Panasonic which is being replaced by this one remembered only on certain discs where the L200 has no problems like that.
Another writes that they have to go through all kinds of button pushes to get rid of the closed captioning or sub titles, If you look at the remote there's a button for subtitle on it. Just click it and select no. Yeah there should be a option to disable CC besides the disc menu.
Won't remember your 4X3 screen settings? just hit the EZ View button and it automatically sets up the proper screen setup for widescreen and pan scan programming.
I would give it 5 stars but there is no brightness or contrast control, even though it has a excellent picture I still want to tweak the image.

The feature is great for spotting details in movies or even adjusting movies to fill the widescreen format.

Panasonic DVD-LV60 5.8-Inch Portable DVD Player

2009-10-01T15:13:00.001-07:00

Panasonic DVD-LV60 5.8-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

This Panasonic LV60 is simply the best unit in its price range. I originally bought the LV70 which has a 7" screen, but only plays DVD's or CD's. The L60 plays DVD's, Video CD's,CD's, CDR's, CDRW's and MP3's!! And the screen is only 1.2" smaller... The sound of the L60 is superb. There's VSS Cinema mode which improves sound thru the center channel. Though I have BOSE noise cancelling headphones and the sound thru them is also superb. The L70 is a wonderful unit as well, but now you're talking a bit pricey. Don't bother checking out the Sony FX-1, you will be disappointed, especially with the sound (what sound?). This L60 is compact, lightweight, comes with battery pack (attaches in such a way as to not make the unit any higher), an AC adapter, video cables, and also comes with a very sleek remote. If you want to pay more than what this unit costs, you're better off getting a laptop! Remember, this is a "portable dvd player". It should be compact, and this one is! A lot of stores are sold out of this product...because it simply is "the best"! Hope this review helps you in your purchase!

Panasonic DVD-LV60 5.8-Inch Portable DVD Player Feature

Sleek, lightweight portable DVD-video player
Plays DVD, video CD, CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs
5.8-inch widescreen LCD monitor
Rechargeable battery pack
Optical digital connection for DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound output

Panasonic DVD-LV60 5.8-Inch Portable DVD Player Overview

The DVD-LV60 portable DVD player from Panasonic offers popular home theater features like Cinema Mode and Dialogue Enhancer in an ultra lightweight and compact package. Convenience features include high-speed smooth-motion scan, auto switching field/frame still, forward and reverse frame advance, and chapter preview. With twin laser pickup, regular-format CDs as well as home-recorded CD-R and CD-RW media with MP3s can be played along with your DVDs. The LV60 player is equipped with S-video outputs, Dolby Digital and DTS output, standard audio/video outs, and optical digital-audio outputs for convenient connection to a TV and audio system. An easy-to-use joystick-type control is featured on the unit.Nothing brings home the cinema experience like DVD, including the enjoyment of rich theater like sound. But sometimes a movie's soundtrack can overwhelm a scene and even drown out the dialogue. The Dialogue Enhancer feature conveniently solves this problem by boosting the volume of the center channel, where most of the principal dialogue emanates when playing a Dolby Digital 5.1 disc, by 6 dB, so viewers don't have to strain to hear the actors during a noisy scene. The Cinema Mode feature is sure to be a film aficionados' favorite. When selected, Cinema Mode enhances the picture by reducing glare, softening resolution, and improving visibility of details in dark scenes, resulting in a more realistic, cinema-like image. The model DVD-LV60 features an impressive 5.8-inch 16: 9 widescreen LCD monitor and built-in stereo speakers. It is expected to deliver up to three hours of playback time (on the lowest brightness setting) from a single charge from the included rechargeable battery pack. The Panasonic DVD-LV60 is Energy Star compliant and comes with audio-video cables, an AC adapter, and slim remote control.

Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD Review

Bought this 3-4 years ago before Portable DVD players became really popular. (I paid like 0+ for it.) It has taken a beating from my 3 yr old..kicking it many, many times, dropping it, etc. and it just keeps going. We mostly use it in the van, but also use the plug in adapter once in awhile. We've never used the battery. It has never skipped (only if the DVD is dirty so not a player problem). The only problem we are having right now is we need a new car adapter and will order one. I bought a second player for my older DD so she can watch her own movies (a Panasonic-only because it was really cheap) so I hope that one lasts just as long. I basically just use mine in the car. There were times that it didn't cut on, but I never power it off so what we do is turn the power button off and then back on and it's good to go. We really got our money's worth.

Magnavox MPD820 8-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

I purchased this dvd player almost 2 months ago, and am very happy with my purchace.It has a great picture, good optics, good sound, but depending if there are loud noises, you may need headphones. I used my walkman headphones,and they worked just fine. I have a friend with a no name brand, and you can't basically hear it without external speakers, so this was a concern for me. The sound is suffient, at least for the size of the speakers. I can sit a good few feet away and hear it just fine. The charge lasts a really long time. Well, I never played it for more then 3 hours, but the charge still remained. Plus I always charge it up before I store it, and when I plugged the battery back on the machine after a month, it was still fully charged. It comes with a remote which is a nice feature as well. I felt it was a good choice for the money, I am happy with my purchase.

Toshiba SD-2900 DVD Player , Black

2009-09-24T04:33:00.001-07:00

Toshiba SD-2900 DVD Player , Black Review

After two years of using an Apex DVD, watching a movie on this baby is great. The picture is 10 times better, and the audio is sweet.
Another big plus (for me) is that it is very thin and doesn't take up too much space.

Toshiba SD-2900 DVD Player , Black Feature

ColorStream component-video output for ultimate DVD picture quality (when connected with an HD or HD-ready TV)
Coaxial digital-audio output passes Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound (for use with compatible AV receiver)
MP3- and WMA-CD playback, DVD and CD Text display (with compatible discs)
Digital Photo Viewer displays digital photographs on a television in a variety of digital formats
Offers black-level expansion, multiple picture settings, picture zoom

Toshiba SD-2900 DVD Player , Black Overview

Studio quality sound and images, plus a wealth of extra 'information' on a CD-sized disc, DVD will revolutionize your TV viewing. Toshiba's range has something for everyone, from the experienced home cinema audiophile to the surround sound novice.The SD-2900 features a new slim cosmetic design and comes equipped with component video outputs compatible with Toshiba's finest televisions. This model offers WMA/MP3 compatibility, Digital Photo Viewer and Digital Picture Zoom.ColorStream Component Video Outputs are compatible with today's finest televisions for delivery of stunningly colorful images. 10-Bit/27mHz video digital-to-analog conversion provides maximum color purity, detail, and resolution. 24-Bit/192kHz PCM audio compatibility delivers warmer, more natural-sounding audio from many types of discs. DVD-R/CD-R/CD-RW compatible playback ensures discs made with personal recording devices can be played back in the home theater system, too. Digital Photo Viewer enables a user to display digital photographs on a television set in a variety of popular digital formats.

Toshiba SD-2900 DVD Player , Black Specifications

Enjoy movies and music to the max with Toshiba's SD-2900 single-disc DVD player. ColorStream component-video outputs (for use with compatible TVs) virtually eliminate NTSC artifacts like video noise and dot crawl, while built-in MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) decoding give the freedom to compile music on a PC and listen to it on a stereo or TV. You can even watch customized digital-picture slideshows on a TV using recordable CDs filled with Konica, Fuji Photo, Kodak Picture CD, and standard JPEG image files.

Component-video splits the video signal into three separate components, which reduces the amount of signal processing required of your television. Conventional composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. The "expanded" mode in the player's black-level setting produces richer, deeper black tones in every image.

In the audio realm, a set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The player's internal digital-to-analog converters work at 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution to ensure optimum sonic quality from a range of digital program material. Playback options include picture zoom, dialogue enhancement, QSound 3D Surround Sound (simulated surround for two-channel listening), parental lock, and compatibility with DVD and CD Text features (on encoded discs). The player comes with a full-function remote control.

Panasonic DVD-LS5 Portable DVD Player Review

I bought this little Gem primarily so my kids would be entertained on a 3 day road trip, but now I'm the one whose addicted to it! For only 9 clearance price as a "last years model", I was blown away by the phenomenal picture quality, versatility and extreme portability of this unit. Every store in town is hawking 7" screen "BenQ? Apex? never heard of that brand before - must be a cheap chinese knockoff" models for around the same price but guess what; their screens suck compared to this baby, they are cheaply made, and they are not very small. Try fitting one in your CD/mp3 player case like I can with this one! I was able to play wma files that I downloaded, photo-disks, jpeg discs, anything I can throw at it it has played. My favorite activity right now is to watch the "extras" discs from my movie dvd's while I ride the bus into work. Highly Recommended!

Panasonic DVD-LS5 Portable DVD Player Feature

Portable widescreen DVD-Video and DVD-Audio player with 5-inch LCD screen and built-in stereo speakers

Panasonic DVD-LS5 Portable DVD Player Overview

Panasonic's DVD-LS5 offers the versatility of a portable DVD player alongside the performance of a sophisticated home-theater component--and you can use it as both. The player handles DVD-Video, high-resolution DVD-Audio, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM playback, as well as standard and recordable audio CDs, including MP3- and WMA-encoded discs. Its slender, 1-inch chassis holds a 5-inch widescreen (16:9) liquid-crystal display and a built-in rechargeable battery good for about 2.5 hours between charges.

Designed to take full advantage of both audio and traditional video DVD formats, the DVD-LS5 delivers the super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound of DVD-Audio. DVD-Audio software titles offer classic music titles in both multichannel and stereo, though be aware that this model plays discs in stereo only. Most DVD-A discs have compressed Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 surround tracks, however; these can be passed through the unit's digital-audio output to a compatible surround receiver and speaker system.

Audio features also include DTS and Dolby Digital passthrough, built-in stereo speakers, and Panasonic's Dialogue Enhancer for DVD movie viewing. Advanced Surround Sound (VSS) simulates surround effects from any two speakers or from headphones.

This player is HighMAT compatible. High-Performance Media Access Technology is a standard co-developed by Panasonic and Microsoft to improve interoperability for digital media programming between PCs and electronics devices. HighMAT provides an efficient method for arranging digital photo, music, and video collections on recordable media.

Initial IDM-9520 Portable DVD Player with 4-Inch LCD and Car Kit Review

I just received this player yesterday and I played around with it last night. Picture for such a small screen is not bad. All the buttons and the remote work. Played through Return of the Jedi and everything was great. If you are looking for a cheap protable then this would be it. Now as for its bad points. It is a bit loud on startup and you can hear when it skips tracks and such but not overbearing. The AC adapter gets really warm. I had it hooked up to charge the battery and unplugged it because I was afraid it would start a fire...lol. Also on the chapter screen and optoins screen the highlights are hard to see. But overall good little player...enjoy.

Enjoy the best of your movies and music through the player's multi-format playback abilities, including MP3 CDs, as well as standard DVD-Videos and commercial CDs.

Progressive scanning creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The DVD-L300's rugged disc bay ensures that the show goes on no matter how you position the player. Once loaded, discs are locked in position, and the unit's special disc mechanism operates flawlessly from almost every angle.

A screen-inversion control flips the picture 180 degrees so you can mount it upside down, as in the back seat of a car or mini van. Smart Screen brightness control monitors ambient lighting conditions and adjusts the LCD's backlight accordingly, improving clarity and contrast while extending battery life.

Two .125-inch headphone jacks--enhanced by Spatializer virtual surround--accommodate a viewing partner and offer big sound to go with the DVD-L300's big screen. Motion zoom allows extreme magnification of selected screen areas, without distortion, even as the movie is playing.

S-video outputs let you hook the player up with your home television, while its coaxial digital-audio output will channel discrete, 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound to a range of audio/video receivers and surround speaker setups. An S-video and minijack stereo analog audio input grant hookup options for camcorders, VCRs, game consoles, and other devices.

What's in the Box
DVD player, battery pack (affixes to back of player), AC adapter, power cord, 29-button credit-card remote control, S-video interconnect, stereo analog audio interconnect, player carrying sleeve, user's manual, and warranty info.
