I had been researching portable DVD players for my 2 sons to have for long nights at sis's gymnastics practice. I wanted one that had a big enough screen for them and maybe a few others to view. This one came up for sale and I had been looking at it so ...

Pros: Very durable, portable, and easy to use.
Cons: No battery pack

We have been through three portable DVD players in the past two years due to durability issues, cord issues, skipping issues and just not working at all issues. We have had the Sony player almost six months now and it is still going strong (surviving a ...

Cons: Expensive, replacement batteries are expensive too, doesn't play loud enough.

Cons: Picture quality could be a bit better, on board speakers, no carrying case

I got this using a Sony gift card and purchased it for $200. I wasn't looking for anything particular at the time, and I thought this DVD player would be great for going on trips and flying. I chose the Sony not only because I had the gift card, but it ...

Pros: Durable glossy screen protector, dual headphone jacks, front panel controls, swivel display
Cons: None

We have a family with two children and have gone through several TV/VCR and TV/DVD combo products. After all those died, we went to Best Buy and found this one on sale. It was priced reasonably to similar DVD players. What sold me on it was the brand ...

Pros: Compact, Rugged Construction, long battery life.

Pros: Stylish, and the swivel screen is really cool
Cons: POOR SOUND, and the controls are not really intuitive.

We do presentations in other people's homes, and a portable DVD player is a great way to get our message across. The Sony brand implies quality, and it's a small, slick-looking machine. We could pull it out of a slim briefcase and be playing a DVD almost ...

Pros: Long battery life, Swivel screen, Good screen brightness/color/clarity, plays DVD +R
Cons: Somewhat heavy, Screen is still just WQVGA, Some screen glare, otherwise not much!

Of course the first thing I did, when looking for a new portable DVD to make long trips in the car just a little more bearable, was to go to epinions and see what players people had reviewed. Well, after 2 weeks of researching them I eventually had a ...

Pros: Good picture. Great battery. Solid unit. Good price for quality player.
Cons: Screen glare. No extras.

I picked up this unit about 2 months ago after my previous portable DVD player died. I've always had good experiences with Sony products, but most of their DVD players are $$$$. When I saw this player for $200 I jumped at it. I am not disappointed at ...

Pros: Sturdy and it's a Sony
Cons: Battery died prematurely after light use.

I've enjoyed owning this player, but the battery went dead after 13 mos. of very light use. Not covered by Sony's warranty.

Pros: 360 swivel screen, dual head jacks.
Cons: Limited viewing angles

Received this as a X'mas gift. Love the portability with dual head jacks, and 360 degree swivel screen. For the price, it sounds about right for Sony products. As for the sound quality, I would say average. For certain people, is not loud enough, but remember, this is a portable player. Meaning, you won't have it too far away from you. In short, the volume level is clear enough for short distance. When you use it with headphone, I think is loud enough to damage your hearing :)

I'm not really impress with the viewing angles, very limited. A lot of the time, I get somewhat distorted pictures when I move the dvd player. Sony can do better than this....a little disappointed.
