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

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) Feature


  • 7-inch widescreen, active-matrix LCD with 480 x 234 resolution and durable, rubberized, "sure grip" cabinet design
  • 12-bit/54 MHz video digital-to-analog conversion for maximum color purity, detail, and resolution
  • 24-bit/96 kHz PCM audio compatibility delivers warm, natural sound from many disc types
  • Playback for DVD-Video, CD, video CD, DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW and MP3 CD
  • JPEG Viewer displays digital photographs and lets you create custom slideshows

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.

Sony DVP-FX700 7-Inch Portable DVD Player

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

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.



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


  • Portable DVD player with 9-inch, 16:9 high-resolution VGA LCD screen
  • Adjustable arm allows for increased options when choosing a viewing angle
  • Compatible with DVD-Video, 2-channel DVD-Audio, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, video and audio CDs, MP3 CDs, WMA CDs, HighMAT
  • High-speed, 5-step Smooth Motion Scan provides crystal-clear forward and reverse scan
  • 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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

Cyberhome CH-LDV700B Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch Screen Review



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.

You can probably find a better DVD player for the same price, if not less.

Initial IDM-1560 Portable DVD Player , Silver

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.



Initial IDM-1560 Portable DVD Player , Silver Feature


  • Portable DVD player with DVD and CD/MP3 CD compatibility and wireless remote control
  • Anti-shock system ensures smooth playback during active use
  • Includes AC power adapter and DC car adapter for road use; headphone jack allows private listening with optional headphones
  • Composite- and S-video outputs; optical digital-audio output for Dolby Digital and DTS surround passthrough to a compatible AV receiver
  • Player only: does not come with LCD screen

RCA DRC618N Tablet-Style 7-Inch Portable DVD Player

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

Mintek MDP-1770 7-Inch Portable DVD Player

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)

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) Overview


Panasonic has always been at the cutting edge of Blu-ray technology, but its latest range of players looks to push the boundaries even further. The DMP-BD60 is the entry-level player in the company's latest three-strong line-up - which also includes the step-up DMP-BD80 and the DMP-BD70V Blu-ray/VHS combi (no, really) - and the big breakthrough on these models is the inclusion of Viera Cast functionality, also found on the company's Z1, V10 and G15 NeoPDP TVs.
