Product Description
With hot new cosmetics as appealing as it's high-performance features, this new PalmTheater portable DVD players from Panasonic is a hit. The DVD-LV70 features an impressive 7" 16: 9 widescreen LCD monitor and built-in stereo speakers. The player is equipped with S-Video outputs, Dolby Digital and dts output, standard audio/video outs and optical digital audio outputs for convenient connection to a TV and audio system. An easy-to-use, joystick-type control is also featured. This model delivers up to four hours of playback time from a single charge from the included rechargeable battery pack.Nothing brings home the cinema experience like DVD, including the enjoyment of rich, theater-like sound. Even those who don't have the room or the budget for a full-blown home theater audio system can still enjoy superb audio - thanks to the Virtual Surround Sound (VSS) feature. VSS creates a simulated surround sound effect, downmixed from either a 5.1 channel or two-channel Dolby Digital soundtrack, from the stereo speakers of any home audio system. Sometimes a movie's soundtrack can overwhelm a scene and even drown out the dialogue. The Dialogue Enhancer feature conveniently solves this problem by boosting the volume of the center channel - where most of the principal dialogue emanates when playing a Dolby Digital 5.1 disc - by 6 dB, so viewers don't have to strain to hear the actors during a noisy scene. The Cinema Mode feature is sure to be a film aficionados' favorite. When selected, Cinema Mode enhances the picture by reducing glare, softening resolution and improving visibility of details in dark scenes - resulting in a more realistic, cinema-like image. This Panasonic DVD player also features high-speed, five-step Smooth Motion Scan. This feature provides crystal-clear forward and reverse scan, in five speeds. At the highest setting, the unit scans at an incredible 100 times normal speed.

We bought this DVD player back in 2002 and it worked really well for about 1 year it was left in the truck on a warm day and since then it is very testy in what DVD's it will play. And I have cleaned and taken it back to the store (extended warranty) and they said it is fixed. But let me say it will no longer play any of my son's scooby doo movies. But it will play the better quailty movies.

This DVD player is THE BEST!! I bought this DVD player after researching all the info I could get my hands on about all brands and sizes of players. I love the one I chose!!! This player lasted through a long car trip (and even down the gravel road to my house) with never once a skip or a problem. I bought a plug-in that goes in the cigarette lighter that I used when the battery ran out. But actually I didn't have to use it much! I also bought a three way headphone splitter so all three of my children could watch from the back seat at once -- and I listened to the radio instead!!! It was heavenly. I would also recommend buying a carrying case that holds the player securely in the car.
Just one note on the sound -- on the freeway the hum of the tires was too loud for my children to hear the sound without headphones. But sound through headphones is amazing!!!! At home we use it without headphones and don't have any problem hearing!!! The picture is great, also. Not a single problem with the clearness and crispness of it! The screen is just the right size, and you soon get so immersed in the movie that you don't even notice it's on a smaller screen!!!! I have a four-door car, but this would work great in a mini-van. The back seat would not have a problem watching the movie -- but you'd have to pipe the sound through the car stereo system so everyone could hear well!!!
Also be informed that this DVD player can't get too hot or too cold, so plan on carrying it with you when you go places -- as it probably should not sit in a parked car in extreme weather!
Love this DVD player!!!

Just used mine on our first trip. Used it on a plane, sitting in bed, and in the car. Got through 3 movies on one charge. That is really the key advantage of this particular player - battery life. I definitely got the 5 hours out of mine. Other 7" players are more like 3 hours. Can easily be watched by 2 people comfortably, e.g. sitting in captain's chairs in a minivan with the player in between the front seats. For car use, we bought an "inverter" which turns the cig lighter into an outlet. Way cheaper than the custom plug.

Hi, I am 14 years old. When I first ordered the LV70 I wasn't completely sure of what kind of quality the product had. Anyway, I've always trusted panasonic and when it arrived, I saw it and it was awesome. It is really portable, that is what I wanted. I travel a lot and I sometimes enjoy watching dvds in the car or the plane, where there may be a movie you don't like and prefer to put my own movie, and it is so better than to be carrying a heavy laptop everywhere if the only thing you carry it for, is to watch movies, which is my case. The sound is so cool and everybody near it can hear it, although with headphones is great too. It is really easy to understand how to work it. I recommend buying a case for it, the panasonic case is great for this model. The battery is so long lasting, most portable dvd models have a really short battery life and they are big and heavy, this battery can last from 5 to 8 hours depending on the setting you have the screen on.You can watch a movie from multiple angles and the picture quality is the best. I loved it. It was cheap too. The only inconvinient is that it doesn't come with an adaptor for the car, and the panasonic car adaptor is very expensive, that's why I gave it the 4 stars. But overall, what I can say from this product, is that it is Excellent, the best must-have and entertaining electronic.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! June 6, 2003

I originally attempted to buy a CyberHome portable dvd player from HSN. Because of a shipping snafu I missed out and was terribly disappointed. However, I wanted a reliable portable dvd player so I did my homework and chose the Panasonic-LV70. It was a little pricey for me (...) but I bought it anyway. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the portability, dependability, quality, etc. I had to purchase the headphones and a car adaptor (Cyberhome includes these items with their model) but from comparing the customer reviews of both units, and from what I now know firsthand, I sure made the right decision.
