Not Reliable [Posted on 2008-07-03]
Pros: This product has a truly amazing battery life, and excellent built-to-last quality. Screen resolution is nice (screen cover is too glossy which produces glare easily).
Cons: Sound. It's ability to consistently play DVD's.
We bought this at Radio Shack for a long day of plane flight for our 3 year old daughter. We charged it the night before, opened it up and loaded a brand new DVD, pressed play... "Disc Error". I thought "Must just be this DVD", so I tried 4 more DVD's all without any major scratches or smudges (I checked carefully!). Same error each time. Finally (days after the plane trip) I managed to get 2 DVD's to play. I thought "Ok, it's going to work now". Then the next time I tried it, "Disc Error". No rhyme or reason. It's like the player decides for itself when it is ready to play a disc!
I took this back to Radio Shack, exchanged it for another one expecting the first to be a fluke. It wasn't! Same errors and problems.
I was expecting way more out of a Sony since all my other Sony products have been great but this one really didn't hit the mark. In fact it failed miserably. I would have suffered through less battery life, screen glare, or low sound happily. But it's a DVD "PLAYER", meant to "PLAY" DVD's not have them all say "ERROR"! This was very disappointing. Thankfully, I was refunded all of my purchase.
I am not the picky sort of person so what you see here is what you will get if you buy this unit.
Buyer beware!
Great on the road, acceptable sound, image is clear [Posted on 2008-07-09]
We had this product for six weeks now and it works great. We only use it on the road though. The sound is not great, but acceptable. We can hear fine going 70 mph on the interstate. The image is clear also. Others have stated the remote is really big, but it is not. Remote is about the size of an iPhone. Battery is detachable which is neat.
I hooked it up to my stereo system once, but was only able to get sound out of the left speaker. The DVD Player acted as the right speaker.
This product is a good product on the road.
So far so good [Posted on 2008-07-18]
I've only used the DVD player once, on a 3 hours road trip, and it worked nicely. I just hope that it keeps working that way for at least some time, since I felt there were a lot of bad reviews out there for all portable DVDs in general. At least it came fine out of the box ;-).
didnt work in India(Audio does work) [Posted on 2008-08-07]
This piece didnt work in India , tried indian cd's/dvd's(region 5) but of no use. I even tried some of the hacks provided in the net.I am just waiting to upgrade the firmware if possible to make it multi region player.
Great gift for kids! [Posted on 2008-08-29]
I bought this for my daughter, and she loves it. She would rather watch DVDs instead of tv now! It has a beautiful picture and clear sound. It's her most favorite birthday present, ever!
