Won't play home burned DVD's.......2005-11-18

I have a new Panasonic DMR-ES10 DVD burner at home. This thing wouldn't play anything I burned in it. I tried +R and -R formats. You'd better plan on buying lots of DVD's for this one.

Last week 4 stars this week 2.......2005-10-18

last week when I bought this at a local retailer for way less than on the internet I was thrilled cause it was cool. Now that I have played a few movies I know why it is cheap(I think) it has the older style read laser which does try very hard to read dvd-r disks however, sometimes it just can't. Out of the 5 movies I have tried to watch 3 of which were store bought it played only one all the way through. Superman. It would not even recognize Highlander the ultimate edition. The ones I tried that were on dvd-r would get about 10 min in and you would think it had paused but then after 2-3 min the movie would start again. I tried all these disks out in another dvd and they played fine. so watch what you buy. Make sure you can take it back. Cause that's where I am going today. ( but I could have gotten a dud you never know):0)

Good overall, car power adapter weak.......2005-04-26

I purchased this DVD player mainly for use in the car on a long trip with a toddler. I like the tablet style and the bag mounts to the back of a headrest nicely. Overall picture and sound quality are very good for a portable player. Works great with the battery or the ac power cord inside. Barely works AT ALL with the cheap car power adaptor included with the player. Takes many attempts to get it to power the player, a real pain with a squirmy kid in the backseat. I was able to attach the battery, invert the player and invert the picture using the "mode" button for a couple hours, and it fit in the car headrest bag if I didn't fasten the top. Solution: go to Radio shack and get a decent "adaptaplug" and extension cord. Cost about $20, now it works with no problems. Easier for me than messing the warranty hassle from RCA. Overall good, if you don't mind buying an extra car plug.

Looks great in the picture, wait until you get it!.......2004-08-17

To start with, the battery is external. So that ultra compact form factor just got 25% bigger as you must screw the battery pack to the bottom of the unit (it is not shown in the picture). Then, that nice case that lets you attach it to a headrest, well, it fits great without the battery, but with the battery on there is no way to fit it (believe me, I tried). There is a nice built in "stand", it is designed to only be effective when the battery is not installed. The screen quality and external sounds are a bit worse then other units, though not horrible (especially as most of us will use the unit with headphones). Overall this unit was a total disappointment; I rarely write reviews, but I figured I would write something to save people the hassle or a return, I know I wish someone had done that for me.

Transcontinental flights are much better now........2004-08-05

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.
