Buyer Beware - Broke within a month! [Posted on 2008-05-25]
We bought this DVD player to play movies for our little guys while we're on the road. The very first time we used it, the movie froze several times and restarted itself...and these were movies that played flawlessly in our home DVD player, so scratches or smudges weren't an issue.
A few weeks later, during another road trip, it froze yet another movie, and this time, it never restarted. We popped out the DVD, put another in, and that was it - the unit never recognized another DVD, and never played another second of video. Our children never had even touched the thing, and it was given absolute care and protection - a padded case, not left in the hot/cold car, only mommy and daddy allowed to operate it. I can't imagine why it would go kaput so fast, so I'm returning it for something else.
Save your money - buy something else!!
Watch our for the warranty! [Posted on 2008-05-29]
This product was great! For a month. Then it stopped working. I contacted philips and was very impressed when they said, "no problem, send it to us and we'll get a replacement out to you right away."
Unfortunately, the "replacement" was a completely different model without the swivel screen. I have no use for a portable dvd player that doesn't have a closeable screen as I know that the exposed screen will get scratched up and destroyed in short order.
I contacted philips again and they said, "read your warranty, it says we can send you "the most comparable model available" We don't have any swivel screen models available, so that's what you got."
I told them that I have absolutely NO use for a portable dvd player with an exposed screen and they said "read your warranty...." I asked if I could get a refund. "No" Can I pay the difference to get a higher model with a swivel screen. "No, but you can of course buy a complete new one at full price".
I bought two of these, the first one failed right out of the box, but luckily I was able to take that one back to the store where I bought it.
I will never buy another Philips product if I can at all help it.
Great DVD player except for battery life [Posted on 2008-06-01]
This is a great player with good features for the price. The iPod docking station is great for playing iPod movies, or just playing music through it, plus it charges the iPod and the remote can be used to control it. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the battery. On a full charge (which takes about 6 hours) I can barely make it through an entire movie on the 2.5 hour battery. Plus the player has to be off to charge, so watching a movie while it is plugged in will not charge it. It would also be nice if it came with some kind of carrying case to protect the the player. Other portable players in the same price range come with cases. TRUST THE DESCRIPTION, THE NEW IPOD CLASSICS WILL NOT PLAY MOVIES IN THE DOCKING STATION!!!!
Like other negative reviewers, mine broke within a year [Posted on 2008-06-10]
I bought this one to replace a Cyberhome 7" portable. Unlike the Cyberhome, which I used like crazy, I've maybe seen a total of 3-4 movies on this thing in a year's time. I'm working from home today & decided to pop in a movie...battery will not charge and unit will NOT work unless plugged into the wall. My warranty runs out the end of the month & Philips offered me "same or comparable" model...I pray I don't have the same problem as some of the other reviewers. Other than that, the unit is great, picture is clear, sound is good.
Note: Doesn't work with 6th gen iPod Classic. It'll output audio, but no video.
only 1 star cause it's expensive [Posted on 2008-06-24]
A couple of years ago the price was 219.The price should have gone down.What gives?
