Item didn't work March 14, 2010 Oyjord (Riverside, CA) The Sony player simply didn't work new out of the box. I tried multiple discs, using AC power, and it couldn't play a single one. We returned the item to Electronics Expo (which is none too easy). We recently bought a comparable Philips portable DVD player, and so far it works like a charm.
sony March 10, 2010 A. H. Carlson (Springfield Illinois) Could not get it to go into full screen when viewing a 1:33 film. Tried two units to no avail. Otherwise not bad. The controls are somewhat cumbersome.
Excellent for its purpose March 8, 2010 Scott (Illinois) With headphones, the quality of this unit from an audio standpoint is excellent, if you have something other than cheap ear buds. You get what you pay for, and who cares if this is an improvement over something else? It's nowhere near as good as my 55" LCD TV either. But if we evaluate it based on its own merits, which we should, then it's an excellent buy. The transport buttons need a little getting used to, but, with the multi-angle remote, that's not an issue. With headphones, you'll have an intimate movie experience that isolates you as nothing else can. The picture quality is good, but you do have to maintain the correct viewing angle. Don't expect this to be more than a 9" portable DVD player! But as a 9" portable DVD player, it does a great job. And finally, I thought that the screen would be too small for viewing, but, as it turns out, watching this unit from a foot away is the same thing as watching a huge flat screen that's over on the wall.
LCD Screen Broke after 3 Weeks :( March 6, 2010 Gregory Brown (Minneapolis, MN United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love Sony products because they usually never break. So, I paid the premium to get this portable DVD player. After 3 weeks, the LCD screen stopped working. It now flickers, has a line through it and shows incorrect colors (almost like a film negative). I tried everything I could think of to "reset" the screen but nothing worked. It's under warranty so I'm sending it in to be fixed for free. However, I will only get a "refurbished" unit back. Maybe I should have returned it to Amazon and bought a new one.
Everything else about the unit was excellent. Battery Life great. Nice screen (when it worked). Good sound quality. Used it on airplanes and in the hotel room connected to a tv. Only goofy thing is the lcd stays on while it is connected to the tv. Maybe that caused the problem.
Very Pleased March 6, 2010 J. Wicker (Norther Va) I bought this player to hook up to a monitor and play my promotional video at conventions. It not only plays store bought DVDs, but ones I've created on my MAC with IDVD. It works just as I hoped and am very pleased. I love that the screen can be turned and laid down flat to view as well. The image on the player is great and the controls are easy to use even without the remote.
