Sharp DV-L78U Portable DVD Player

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The portable DV-L78U is only slightly larger than a paperback book and weighs less than two pounds without the battery (2 pounds, 13 ounces with battery). This lightweight design, combined with an easy-to-use graphical user interface, enables consumers to experience high-quality entertainment virtually everywhere--from home to the office to the car, to the beach or even camping.

The DV-L78U also boasts up to an incredible 3.5-hour battery life, easy-to-use function controls, and an ultra-thin unified remote control.

The DV-L78U fosters system building with other devices that have S-video input or composite-video input, supplying quality DVD images and sound to television sets or monitors. Output from a video camcorder can also be played back through the DV-L78U for crystal-clear, convenient viewing on the player's large LCD screen.

The unit's superior image quality is the result of Sharp's proprietary Digital Gamma Correction Playback Circuit, which corrects color values in dim sections of the picture according to the brightness of the video image. In addition, the DV-L78U uses Digital Super Picture Logic to provide even greater sharpness by adjusting brightness/contrast and clarifying outlines and picture details, while reducing signal "noise."

The DV-L78U uses a thin-profile, 8-inch, 16:9 wide-format TFT LCD panel that uses a low-reflectivity black matrix and AGLR (Anti-Glare Low-Reflection) polarizer to reduce reflection of ambient light, thus providing dramatic video images that defy its compact size.

With Virtual Dolby Surround sound (Q Surround) and Digital Theater Sound (DTS) compatibility (an external Dolby Digital/DTS decoder with optical digital-audio input is required)), the DV-L78U provides an impressive listening experience when connected to a full-size system or just headphones. Equipped with a built-in optical digital-audio output jack, the DV-L78U easily lets consumers match the system environment of an existing audio system for optimal performance.

For outstanding video, the DV-L78U incorporates a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter that processes 8-bit digital DVD data with four times greater accuracy, resulting in playback of high-resolution video images with clarity and crystal-clear resolution.

Additional DV-L78U features include two power sources (including normal household AC power and a rechargeable battery), parental control (allowing parents to block programming deemed inappropriate for younger children), and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery designed to attach to the bottom of the main unit (which can be recharged using the AC power adapter that comes with the main unit).

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars These reviews are not an exaggeration!.......2002-04-11

You simply cannot know how good this DVD player is until you have one of your own. Mine goes everywhere with us and is an excellent at-home DVD player. The images are absolutely crystal clear! With a good set of head phones -- you can't escape being part of the entertainment! I could not believe how good this unit is until I bought one. I tried them all and the laptop computers as well - nothing compares! Buy one today!

5 out of 5 stars GREATEST PORTABLE EVER.......2002-01-05

Let me start off by saying that this portable DVD player is the greatest out there. I will tell you why:

1. Picture quality is superb! There is none better (I have seen some of the "best"). This machine produces images that defy its compact size.

2. Portability. The thing is tiny, and still provides great picture and sound quality.

3. Functions. This thing plays DVDs, DVD-Rs, CDs, VCDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. It also doubles as a stay-at-home DVD player. Great!

4. Sound. Perhaps not from the built in speakers, but with a good set of headphones, the sound is INCREDIBLE. I recommend the Aiwa Noise Canceling headphones (model #HPCN5). Although, the speakers do provide decent sound.

5. Price. Buy it at ..., it's only [price]!! What a bargain!

6. Battery life. With headphones lasts a good 4.5 hours.

7. Screen Size. 7 inches rules!

8. Screen itself. It does not reflect any light back. Great!

Some people will tell you to buy a 5" or 5.8", but don't. Those things are TINY! Maybe an 8", but those can be costly. Hands-down, I recommend this product over all else!

Suggestions: Buy good headphones.

THIS THING IS SOOO COOL!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!
