 Does What it says on the box May 15, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Well priced product with good spec.
No reliability problems, looks good and works well.
I bought the US version whilst on a trip to New York, saving 50% of the UK price and the spec is better than the UK version (which doesnt play DivX althought the Euro one does)
It is easy to make it region free ( do an online search for a crack) and it is switchable PAL / NTSC so I can play any disc on it and also hook it up to most TVs.
Sound is good with headphones and fairly loud from the speakers if a bit tinny.
Very portable, and handy to have in the car when the blackwall tunnel closes and you can't get home.
 Great DVD player April 21, 2007
I absolutely love this DVD player because it plays MPEG format and it can read all types of disks (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW.) I transfer all my television programs from my TIVO to my PC and then burn them as MPEG files onto a re-writable DVD. Then means that when I am done watching my shows I can erase the disk and re-record it. I am able to fit between 3 and 5 hours of programing onto each DVD. The picture quality is great and the battery life is also very good. I take the DVD player to the gym with me so I can watch my favorite shows while I run on the treadmill. The size of the player is perfect for this purpose and the small remote control is an added bonus. I'll definately get another if this one ever breaks.

Great perfomance and value for money March 29, 2007

Great DVD player. Bought a non-branded machine 1-year previously at Best Buy for $100 that promptly expired as soon as the warranty ended. For almost the same price the Philips DVD is in a different league altogether. Looks sleek and stylish, bright, crisp display, no skipping or jumping, excellent sound, robust and sturdy, long battery life - what else is there? I wouldn't have even paid attention to the noise it makes on starting up if the other pedantic reviewers hadn't pointed in out.
Fine portable DVD; screen awfully small March 26, 2007
Were I to start all over again, I should have seen these little guys in person first. 7" screen is too small, 1/3 of the lifting panel with screen is the speaker, delivering fine sound but taking up valuable real estate. Other than that, picture quality is excellent even in daylight and it works just fine. Huge benefit is 2 headphone ports, keeping peace in the car--if only they agreed on the movie!
Bought this for my 3 year old grand daughter March 21, 2007
This has the clearest picture I have seen on anything in a long time. My grand daughter watches Cinderella III and Swan Lake Barbie on it and they really come to life. The only complaint I have is that when the dvd loads it makes an noise but it doesnt have any other problems and that is probably just part of the whole loading process. It is pretty easy to operate and we keep it in the box it came in while she watches it (just leave the screen open and slide it back into the box, I made a little slit for the cord) that way she cant play with the buttons or put her feet on it. :-) All in all, so far so good and it was a good price.
