Amazon.com Product Description
Sony has entered the popular foray of portable DVD players with the DVPFX1. This sleek, silver player offers a 7-inch diagonal LCD screen, housed in a magnesium die-cast body that weighs only 1.7 pounds. The player attaches to a lithium-ion battery pack, which Sony rates at up to four hours of playback time. With the DVPFX1, you can watch DVD movies in 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios, and listen through the built-in speakers that flank the screen. Or purchase a pair of headphones, plug them into the headphone jack, and enjoy the SRS simulated surround mode in private. You can also listen to music CDs. The DVPFX1 is compatible with Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround formats. It has an optical digital audio output, so you can connect the DVPFX1 to a TV and use it as a standalone DVD player. Sony's DVPFX1 has composite and S-Video outputs, as well as a set of audio-video inputs that enable you to connect a camcorder and watch home videos on the 7-inch screen. With its slim dimensions, the DVPFX1 is perfect for long airline flights and hotel rooms. It's also great for kids on long road trips. A custom parental control feature enables you to lock out up to 50 discs. Advanced features include an onscreen video bit-rate meter that allows you to monitor MPEG-2 compression ratios, SmoothScan and SmoothSlow for forward and reverse searches, and Virtual Enhanced Surround. The player comes with a full- function remote and has basic control functions that are accessible from the top panel.

 Lousy product, Lousy company December 6, 2005

I purchased a Sony portable DVD player this time last year. Big mistake. It stopped working shortly after the 90 day warranty and Sony would do nothing but let me pay them for a repair/exchange. So I paid for an exchange + Shipping. Then the replacement they sent (same model) would not even turn on. Then they offer to let me pay to send that one back too (months have transpired because they do not send a replacement until they have logged in and assessed the one you send back). Meanwhile, I still have nothing. Sony charge me $500 for a lemon product and will not stand behind it. I will never purchase a Sony product again.

I bought this unit about a year ago it has performed like a sony should a bit pricey then compared to others now but the fun aspect of a portable dvd player slash viewer is phenomenal!I rate this product 5 stars because of the ability to change screen
modes for what or how you care to watch it small big etc and it's ability to play with extreme quality no kidding it will rival all if not most other units plays well on it;s output to other video sources!so cool factor it's surround sound is uncanny and when plugged into a stereo it's ability to output digital & dts is very good good separation spatial effects excellent.good buy!

I had just purchased this tiny piece of electronic wizardry from sony. after playing it for awhile, i found a few things that could have made this machine nicer, lets start with sound quality, it could have been better. 2 earphone jacks would have been nice. the brightness switch doesn't seem to change the picture too much, after all, it is sony's first attempt at a portable dvd w/monitor. so we all know they'll improve in all aspects of this machine. one last note. It was quite pricey....

Listening to cd's is awesome with the surround sound switch (especially with sony's "studio monitor" headphones which are excellent), and I thought the picture was really good EXCEPT when watching a movie that is NOT enhanced for wide screen. This causes the picture to become blurred and unwatchable as you adjust the "screen mode" to zoom in to spread the information out to fill the screen. Watching 4:3 (standard TV size) pictures is a breeze because there are "black bars" are on the sides of the picture instead of the incredibly irritating "gray bars" that many 16:9 (wide screen) TV makers have opted for. I give this product 4 stars mainly because of the speakers. They're very easy to blow if your watching a movie scene that is quiet and then suddenly loud. If this happens, you will notice a slight puncture wound in at least one of your speakers. A fault that I've noticed in more than one of my sony products that really do have the best images possible, but are not-so-hot when it comes to the speakers attached to them. I usually listen with headphones anyway. Plane trips are one long movie now, they could put me in a piece of luggage with this thing and I wouldn't care.
Very nice player except sometimes lacking in video. September 4, 2001

I bought this three days ago in a trip to Chicago and so far am very pleased. The sleek silver metal design is very good looking and the sound with headphones is excellent. I highly recommend using them because the sony feature headphone surround sound is excellent. I have watched 3 movies on the wide-screen display and one movie fit perfectly onto the widescreen display and the other two were distorted and had to be adjusted to be a little smaller. Another person wrote that a sony rep told him that he couldnt use an adapter in a car but i bought an adapter and was pleased with it while watching a two hour movie on the trip home. The video quality is good when close up on people but when looking at say a person in the distance is not so good. I would still recommend it and also enjoyed using it in my hotel.
