We loved this DVD player - shame it died on us!
(3 out of 5) by Kirsty on Aug 3, 2009 (England)Unfortunately we only had this DVD player for a month before it died on us! However, when it was working we loved it.
Pros: fantastic battery life, great screen quality, removable battery for when you just want to run it off mains/car power, good volume
Cons: we had lots of techinical problems with this DVD player, it would play some DVDs well, but with most it would freeze or simply refuse to play them. It would not play home movies (on DVD-R) at all. Eventually it stopped playing all but 2 of our DVDs and would only play those if you held the player at a certain angle.
I'm not sure how many of the 'cons' were down to it being a faulty unit and how many (such as not playing DVD-Rs) are true across all units, however, we liked the battery life and screen quality so much we would have been more than happy to try another. Sadly, when we returned ours they were out of stock so we had to make do with a refund.

Sony DVPFX720W - 7" Portable DVD Player
This is sooooooooooooooooooo cool! It's handy for the whole family. My mum takes it with her when she goes into hospital. My brother and I use it in the car when we're going on long journey's. I also use it at night after I go to bed, so my mum can't see what I'm doing. Shhhhhhhhh! Don't tell her. It's really shiny and cool. And the picture's fab. Thanks for reading my review bye for now!

The support for this items is very poor
(1 out of 5) by Meh Consedine on Sep 25, 2008 (Little Gaddesden, UK)The product itself would have been fine. However the product delivered was damaged. The UK power point had been forced into the package and damaged the item.
After three weeks and numerous calls a refund was paid but we were still charged a delivery charge.
I would not recommend this supplier.

very disappointing...
(2 out of 5) by Valerie Phillips on Nov 2, 2009 (Wales)This product only accepted certain DVD's. Non of the DVD's we tried with the machine were copies, and yet the machine refused to acknowledge them. This was a shame, as we did not try all the DVD's which we were taking before we left for our holiday, and realised to late that their was only 2 or 3 of the 10 that we could watch... Very disappointing.
