 enjoying it September 6, 2008

I've only had the DVD payer a short time, but to date it's great. Bought it for my bathroom so I could enjoy movies as I take a long bath. No problems. And I like that I could take it in the road it I wanted to... haven't yet but I can see doing it. I look forward to using it for the long term.

I purchased this player based on the good reviews on Amazon.com. Very first impressions were good. The red is a cool color. As I played with it and discovered what it does not do, I became more and more disappointed.
I have a lot of British comedy DVDs that I was looking forward to watching on Atlantic flights. I can confirm that this player is absolutely region one only. However, it gets worse. I have some region free British DVDs that also will not play on the Sony. It is NTSC only. No PAL.
There is some discussion about how long the battery lasts. I haven't tested this, but suppose you want a second battery. How much do you suppose a second battery for a $165 device would cost? $30.00? $50.00? $70.00? Nope, try $100.00! Check it out the part number is NP-FX110.
Suppose you want to connect this player to a TV. Your only option is composite video. The lowest video quality connection method. No S-VHS, No Component video.
Several other players in this price range have SD card slots. Some even have USB connectivity and can play still images/video from external sources. The Sony doesn't.
In all fairness, if all you are interested in is playing Region 1 DVDs on the built in screen and don't care about additional features this is not a bad choice. The picture quality isn't bad and it has a 800*480 resolution screen. But I'm sending mine back. The lack of PAL support was a deal breaker. I'm getting a Philips PET1030.

Im totally satisfied with this purchase, picture quality is very crisp, a little pricey but worth every penny.
Superior DVD Player August 31, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I spent about an hour one day at Best Buy with all of the different portable DVD players lined up next to each other. I took the same DVD and put them into each one, watching for picture clarity and sound. This Sony DVD player was far superior to all of the other player when it came to picture quality. None were even close to it. The volume is very loud and would be more than enough for anyone in any situation. I was worried about that at first since the original DVD player I wanted was fairly quiet. The sound quality is only average, but it's good enough for my 2 year old. I would recommend this DVD player to anyone who is looking for one that is the best all around and doesn't want to spend a ton of money. I plan on keeping this one for a long time.

works great, easy to use. sometimes hard to see screen in daylight conditions. I use it in my semi truck and my kids watch it when I drive. Never skips. Battery life is good.
