Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars screen works off and on.......2007-06-22

I bought this product in March. The battery pack is indeed strange and large. The screen has stopped working after 3.5 months. It didnt work last night but worked this morning. I contacted WorldWide distrubtors and was told to call phillips directly because they do not have any of this product left.

My irritations begin!

5 out of 5 stars The perfect player!.......2007-05-22

I bought this DVD player actually 15 months ago when my daughter was born and now I am searching for a case. I read the reviews on this machine and was taken back by some of the bad comments. I use this machine constantly and all of the negatives about battery life, not playing movies, screen size, not being able to use in a car, etc, is just not true. Are you sure you have this machine? It's the best DVD player I have ever had, this is by far the best one. The color is great, battery life is LONG like 5 hours and it's easy to use. We have never had problems with volume or anything like that. It's great for the price, we have had MANY great hours with this machine. Would recommend to everyone, don't listen to these other folks!!

2 out of 5 stars Sorry, but it just didn't cut it........2007-04-26

I think I'll start off by listing the positives:

It's loud. I mean, I don't even have to play it on full volume. That's probably my favorite part of it.
Also, it's pretty sturdy and I LOVE the metal surface.
OK, I'm running out of good...

The main reason I give this a two rating is because the damn thing doesn't want to play my DVDs. I think it has played two of my DVDs and that's it. I just put in American Beauty about five minutes ago and it says, "Unknown Disc". I decide to put in "The Little Mermaid" next which I wanted to watch but to a lesser degree and I get a "No Disc" message.

Even when it did work, I still had to navigate through some weird menu that pops up and I seriously had no idea what to do. Not because I'm dumb, but because the options they gave you didn't make much sense.

This DVD player really sucked the fun out of the whole "buying my first portable DVD player" idea. I was even willing to get passed the fact that the DVD, when initially loading, is pretty loud. But it's inexcusable that it just doesn't want to play my movies.

NOT RECOMMENDED. STAY FAR, FAR AWAY!

1 out of 5 stars I will never buy one agian.......2007-04-22

I have had nothing but problems out of mine. first off, the screen went out due to a factory defect only 3 months after buying, got it fixed, and went out agian. I just took the piece of junk nad threw it away. I wouldnt waist my time with it.

5 out of 5 stars So easy my dad can use it........2007-04-05

My sister and I purchased this DVD player for my father. I think it has good picture and sound. However, the volume could go a little louder. I found it very easy to use. Which is a benefit because my dad is not good with electronics.
