Very well designed and thought out product
By RobbyD
This unit was designed with the traveller in mind. Here are some of the excellent features I've observed:1) LCD display can swivel out forward and lean almost flat against the unit - great for cramped viewing quarters like economy class on an airplane.2) Can simulate Dolby Digital and DTS effects in your regular headphones. The effect is breathtaking - it's like having a surround sound home theater in your headphones. Action movies never sounded so good.3) Comes with battery model CGR-H603 which lasted for 2 hours and 26 minutes in my test with the LCD set to factory default brightness and the audio level set to 6 (very loud). You can reduce the brightness to increase the battery life.4) An optional extended life battery is available (CGR-H601) which in the same test lasted for a whopping 4 hours and 30 minutes. That's a combined 7 hours of battery life - great for those longer flights.5) When the battery dies in the middle of a movie, simply pop in another charged battery and the player will automatically continue the movie from the point where the first battery died. Very convenient.6) Lightweight! This unit is very light and portable.7) The 5 inch screen is very easy to watch. The size is not a limiting factor as you quickly get lost in the movie and even forget you're viewing a small screen.8) This player supports 16:9 letterbox (widescreen) and 4:3 boxed modes.9) Comes with a full featured remote control.10) This unit can be hooked up to a TV or home theater receiver with the included RCA/Composite cable.11) Options include car lighter adapter, cassette adapter, optical cables and more.
Overall, this is the best portable DVD player I have ever been exposed to. It's quality built and small enough for serious travel. ....

By A Customer
I got this a few weeks ago and have used it a lot. I took it on a crosscountry trip for a week too. It's been a marvel. I found myself on vacation shopping for more widescreen dvd's! I have had absolutely no trouble with it. The speakers are built it but due to it's size you can't get the real effect of stereo without earphones, but I prefer the earphones anyway. The battery lasts longer if you use the earphones too. Great stereo sound with them and a wonderful high quality picture. I thought the fact that the screen is small might bug me but it doesn't, the clarity is so beautiful that you forget the size and get lost in it.My next purchase is the cable so I can use it as a DVD with my TV and see movies that way too. I am so glad I made this purchase!

By liz martin
I bought this DVD for my family this Christmas. It was the best buy of the season. It has already paid for itself in entertain-ment hours. The picture is GREAT. The sound is wonderful. We have taken it on the road with us and hooked it up to the t.v. in the hotel room. There have been times when we have used this instead of our home DVD. The only thing I have not tried is the battery. I read all the reviews on this item and others. Everything I read in the reviews were right on target. I am glad I bought this DVD. Price did play a role in my purchase. I wanted to spend around 300 - 400.00 dollars. I did not look at too many DVD's that were higher. But for the money I am very happy.
