I bought this player for the large travels by plane. I used this player in the fly from Seattle,Wa to San Francisco,CA (1.5 hrs), ; I saw one movie with the full battery charge and later for the fly from San Francisco to Mexico City (4.5 hrs) with the rest of charge, I saw 2 movies with the same battery charge, the battery works very well. The only complaint is that the sound is very low, you must listen the player with headphones, I recommend you the Sony MDR-V150, then the sound will be great.

I bought it for a long trip to Colorado. This player is solid and the buttons are solid and the do not appear cheap unlike the players from Magnavox, Audiovox etc., Charge appeared to last long enough for about 3 movies or longer though i did not measure it. Included cigarete lighter adapter is a great accessory.
One big draw back i found with this player is that it will not play VCD's or DVD's from other countries, though it plays burnt DVD's and burnt CD's/MP3s just fine. It is a great 8" portable dvd player in the market for the price $119+9.95 shipping.

I got my DVD player last week. I got the blue one as it was less expensive by about $20 than the black, red or pink units. The unit is small, has an excellant picture and is fairly lightweight. However, the little speakers are very difficult to hear from. I am using an inexpensive pair of clip-on the ear headphones, and the sound is pretty good. I would recommend this unit to anyone that wants a little quality unit for a very good price

I am glad I decided on this purchase. I must say, I contemplated the price and did alot of comparison shopping. Great price for a quality sony. I was going to spend less, but I happend upon this little goodie. Worth every cent!

They hooked me with the fact it can be used with any TV too. It is as simple as plugging in a lamp. Presto a sony quality dvd, cd and computer slide shows/presentations or even lectures for off campus learning. Not only portable but on a large screen too if you want.

Very kool metallic blue smudge proof exterior. Easy to use. Love the battery last 6 hrs. (a little less w/o head phones). So what, you really need Head phones, speakers or your tv for Port. dvd players anyway. Awsome picture ,2 sizes-reg/wide screen. Picture is great in bright light, and day light.

Very sturdy for travel use. Swivel screen nice for 2 person travel(of course 2 H phone jacks). Light weight, slips right in a backpack, messenger bag or even a medium sized purse. This is great for Air, public trans or just genreral travel. Love the baterry on the botton snaps right in an out, very good compared to the annoying port. dvd baterries that stick out and interfer with operating.

All the claims in product description are accurate, love that! It easily plays dvd+r+rw,cd+r+rw, and jpg. Slide shows and productions.(did not use mp3,so cant comment). I am really amazed how great the 8in screen is! I thought about getting 9 or 10 inch and going a slight bit cheaper (or more expensive) with another brand, I am very glad I did not.

The one thing is it does not come with 2 sets (or even one set) of head phones, as some cheaper brands do. BUYER BEWARE, You DO get what you pay for with electronics. It's NOT worth selling out for the cheaper brand just for some cheappy and uncomfy head phones. There are plenty of brand name head phones right on Amazon,for very fair prices( I found sonys for $16 and change and bought 2 sets). PLEASE REMEBER to get CUPPED EAR head phones to block out noise, especially durring travel. Your old foam walk man or new inside the ear mp3 head phones may work but only in a very quiet place, such as a libirary. The cupped ones provide much better sound experience and noise reduction.

So, I hope this info helps, Great product at a great price. The delivery was on time and the product was packaged very well. Also everything was in working order. I Highly recommend this Port. dvd player, you get alot of product for your buck! And come on, it is a sony, they do tend to last much longer in general than some other brands I have heard about or ones I have tryed myself.

This is my first portable DVD player, so I don't have anything to compare it to. But so far it has met all my expectations -- long battery life, easy for my kids to use in the back seat of the car, and sharp picture.
