I've always wanted a portable DVD player. When I saw that there was a better option than a 2-3 hour battery, I jumped on the chance. The number one thing that needs to be mentioned about this unit is that it parts with the standard battery life of portable DVD players. Until this unit, I've never seen more battery life than 3 hours, but then I found this Panasonic with TWELVE HOURS !?!?!?!?!!!! Are they JOKING? As it turns out, NO, they are NOT joking. This player actually will play TWELVE hours on a charge. I tested it on a non-stop flight from Houston to Amsterdam...a flight that lasted ELEVEN hours, and when I touched down in Amsterdam, it was still chugging away. No joke. This is such an amazing piece of work from Panasonic. I really must salute their effort. This player also has a very clever folding screen, and it can be put in a position to suit every situation. There are dual speakers, positioned on either side of the picture. The speakers, though small, are loud enough to actually use, even in a noisy car. They also do not distort when played up near 100%. The user-adjustable picture controls are first-rate. This is just simply a fantastic piece of Panasonic engineering. It not only plays DVDs, but also plays many (most) computer cds (divx, mpeg, dvi, etc.). You need one. You really do. FIVE STARS!Read full review
I bought this to take on the plane for my 2 year old after borrowing someone else's. I did some research and this got the best reviews. I have also always been a fan of Panasonic electronics....even my Panasonic vacuum was a good one. The picture and sound on this DVD player is great. Brightness adjustment is a great feature to use when riding in the car at dark so it's not so bright. If I had to come up with a disappointment, it would be that I thought it swiveled side to side but it doesn't. The one I borrowed didn't either and wouldn't have known the difference until I read that it swiveled and thought it meant side to side. I would have bought this anyway.
What is really phenominal about this unit is the battery life, which approaches 12 hours. This is nearly unheard of with other portable dvd players. That is what sold me on it, along with the Panasonic name. I have a pair of Panasonic HD Plasma TVs at home, so I trust their quality and technology. I love using this unit when I'm travelling, especially on the long flights. I'm no longer bored on the flights with no movies or sorry ones. It's even better than having my own video on demand. The only limitation is the number of dvds and cds I pack to watch/listen to. The picture quality is very good, with a number of settings to choose from. The 8 inch widescreen is pretty much a perfect size. I would recommend a set of noise cancelling earbuds/headphones, mainly to stretch the battery life even farther by not having to jack up the sound. With those on, you forget you are even on a plane at all. I can't say I've found anything to dislike about this unit.Read full review
Extremely satisfied, eBay purchase. Very clear display. User friendly controls, even without a manual, which can be download from the internet. As others have stated, the 12-hr rated battery is when all settings are set to the very bare minimum... mine averages about 4 to 6 hrs on a full charge... which equates to about 2 full movies using my preferred setting on the display and sound. Headphones are optional, but recommended when used in crowds, and when you don't want to disturb others around you. For use in the car, headphones are optional, but I do recommend using the AC adapter for extended trips of 2+ hours. Build quality is high. Not having a remote gives me one less thing to lose over time. Highly recommend!
This is really cool. The picture quality is very good to excellent. Sound quality is best your going to get with a portable player. I attached a pair of powered speakers, works great or use your car audio or head phones as intended. A bit slow to load but no problems with bumby roads due to anti skip. Battery life is great about two full movies easy on fully lighted screen.
