Great DivX player! [Posted on 2008-03-05]
This is GREAT DivX player. Phillips seem to be the best at this. Yes it is a little noisy at startup but this is because it is reading COMPRESSED files (DivX format and Mpeg4) and is normal and goes away once the movie starts. I get 6 movies (DivX) on a standard DVD so this is why i choose this player. The battery life is AMAZING and the screen is great. The sound also seems fine to me. I wouldnt buy anything different for my DivX movies. It is also easy to unlock to region-free as i watch a lot of UK movies. Another excellent point is that it will play all my music files (mp3) on a DVD. Be careful as most players will not recognise mp3's on a DVD only on CD so check before you buy! I had not realised this before. I now have around 100 of my CD's in mp3 format and record them onto a single DVD so i never have to change the disc on a drive from East coast to West coast!(I work all over USA). I then plug the DVD player into my truck sound system and use the remote to change tracks etc. Great buy!
Philips 8.5" Portable DVD Player [Posted on 2008-05-08]
Item came quickly. Packaged well and has all components. Does have a lot of scratches on the cover but the inside looks great. The picture is great but as other people have reviewed on amazon about this item, it is loud when you turn it on and while the dvd gets ready to play and while it's turning off.
Great portable dvd player, so far! [Posted on 2008-07-01]
This is my second portable dvd player, my first was an akai 7" which lasted about a year then suddenly stopped working.
This portable dvd player is everything I expected and more. I've had it for at least a year and haven t experienced any major problems yet.
The main feature I was looking for was a multi-regional player which this wasn't but the region-free hack from a previous review fixed that problem and now I can watch all regions of dvd.
It s definitely a great idea to buy a big-brand portable dvd player (eg sony, philips, samsung etc) rather than a random low budget brand - it's worth the cost.
PROS:
Beautiful looks.
Decent display, not as great as i had hoped though...
Long battery life.
Plays many different video and audio files.
Nice remote, with many features.
The included headphones were surprisingly amazing quality!
Includes case.
Worth what you pay.
CONS:
No fast-forward and rewind buttons on the player, but on the remote.
Flimsy disk drawer.
Great sound with headphones, below-average sound without.
Fairly scratch-sensitive, unlike some other portable dvd players.
Whirring sound when disk is loading, but stops when it s playing.
It s very tempting to stop the disk before it stops spinning but I suggest you don t, I think it messes up the player...
Works great so far! [Posted on 2008-07-14]
Great quality, doesn't skip when used in the car. Great resolution, has been a life saver when traveling with the kids. Would recommend it.
Very noisy [Posted on 2008-11-15]
Overall decent, nothing exceptional to brag about.
Main gripe is it's extremely loud motor.
It also takes forever to recognize DVDs and start playing.
Have only had 2 weeks, will see what else comes up.
