Product Description
The DVD-LX8 is capable of playing back DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-RAM, DVD-R2, video and audio CDs, MP3, WMA, and CD-R/-RW3 discs. It also supports HighMAT (High-Performance Media Access Technology), a technology co-developed by Panasonic and Microsoft for arranging and using personal music, video and photo collections on recordable discs, such as DVD and CD recordable media.The DVD-LX8 features a 9-inch (diagonal screen measurement), LCD 16:9 high-resolution VGA screen and employs the Mono Arm concept, with an adjustable arm that allows for increased options when choosing a viewing angle. The DVD-LX8 also features built-in stereo speakers, a playback time of 2.5 hours and multi-format playback.
Amazon.com Product Description
Larger than most portable disc players but still far more portable than a laptop, Panasonic's DVD-LX8 DVD player offers a 9-inch, 16:9 aspect-ratio (wide) screen whose adjustable "Mono Arm" broadens the range of available viewing angles, making the player perfect for suddenly bright and suddenly dark airplane cabins or desktop use in an office. The player handles DVD-Video, high-resolution DVD-Audio, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM playback--as well as standard and recordable audio CDs, including MP3- and WMA-encoded discs. Its slender chassis holds a built-in rechargeable battery good for about 2.5 hours between charges.
Designed to take full advantage of both audio and traditional video DVD formats, the DVD-LX8 delivers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound of DVD-Audio. DVD-Audio software titles offer classic music titles in both multichannel and stereo, though be aware that this model plays discs in stereo only. Most DVD-A discs have compressed Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 surround tracks, however; these can be passed through the unit's digital-audio output to a compatible surround receiver and speaker system.
Audio features also include DTS and Dolby Digital 2-channel decoding and multichannel passthrough, built-in stereo speakers, and Panasonic's Dialogue Enhancer for DVD movie viewing. Advanced Surround Sound (VSS) simulates surround effects from any two speakers or from headphones.
Cinema Mode reduces the detrimental effects of screen glare from ambient light, rendering cinematic colors in pictures that are gentle on the eyes. Further, Cinema Mode improves the visibility of details in dark scenes by automatically adjusting picture contrast. High-speed, five-step Smooth Motion Scan provides crystal-clear forward and reverse scan. At the highest setting, the unit scans at an incredible 200 times normal speed. Panasonic's Dialog Enhancer boosts the center channel volume--where most of the principal dialogue emanates when playing a Dolby Digital 5.1 disc--by 6 dB.
This player is HighMAT compatible. High-Performance Media Access Technology is a standard codeveloped by Panasonic and Microsoft to improve interoperability for digital media programming between PCs and electronics devices. HighMAT provides an efficient method for arranging digital photo, music, and video collections on recordable media.

The best you can get!.......2007-12-06
We've had ours for a couple years now and it holds up to being dropped, repeatedly started and stopped, the speakers work great still and everything still function normally, even after the kids beat the snot out of it.
I had an older Panasonic player that I upgraded from, but I kept the extra battery from that one and used it on this one. It's the battery that works in conjunction with the "tube" shaped battery in the back of this player, but actually attaches to the underside of the unit. It provides about a total of 5 hours of playtime overall, depending on the brightness of the screen, which can be lowered for night-time use. I definitely recommend getting the secondary battery as well! The long trips with kids, make you realize the benefit of having a nice long life battery, when it's not plugged into the car or wall outlet.
Don't look at any other portable DVD players on the market. Just get this one, open it up and use it without worrying about it. You'll never regret it.
More Expensive, but Great DVD player for Travelers!!.......2006-12-25
Sure, this is a 300 + dollar unit, with other units and biggers screens available, why consider this DVD player, simple, Quality. This has a nicely adjustable screen, decent external speakers, easy use, and great (really great) battery life with addtional battery pack. Roughly 8.5 hours with the extra pack, enough to watch 3-4 movies easily. I own a toshiba and phillips portable units, and have extensively looked around at other DVD players, and for the money that you pay for this unit, you will get your pennie's worth. Enjoy this unit.
Love this DVD player!.......2005-12-01
This DVD player is the best that I've seen on the market. My husband is an electronics freak and he first saw this at a Bose store in Columbus, OH (for $600!). We looked at so many portable DVD players and this was by far the one we liked the most. It's definitely worth the price and you can shop around online for the cheapest price. I paid $379.99 online with no tax or shipping. The only thing I didn't like about it was the short battery life, but you can buy the extended battery for it.
PROS:
Picture quality
Sound
Screen manueverability
Screen size
Extended battery accessory available
CONS:
Price
Small battery life (2.5 hrs)
Looked and Looked and did I mention I LOOKED.......2005-04-29
and this is the best portable DVD player on the market. Paid $399 with no shipping or tax. Spent an extra $60 to extend the battery life to 8.5 hours. Also, not sure why it does not have dual headphone outlets (the smaller one does), but for $6 at Radio Shack that problem was solved. What I love - the picture - the fact that you can lay it down flat - and the best sound of all that I have tried. I am VERY happy with this player.
Answers I couldn't find from other reviews here.......2004-11-26
After much research, I was convinced that the Panasonic portable DVD players were the best. More expensive than many but worth the price. Seeing Nemo play on it convinced me and my spouse. Terrific screen resolution. I decided I wouldn't use the external speakers or the card slot on the LX9 and the LX8 was otherwise the same unit and cheaper. I haven't been disappointed. We love it. After reading reviews here on the LX8 and the Lx9, I was concerned about the heat discharge if it was in your lap. That has not been a problem. I was especially concerned about the short battery time on the factory battery. I opted to buy a Lenmar DVDP501 battery pack (6800 mAh)that attaches underneath the unit and does not require carrying along an extra charger. With the combined batteries I get 8 hours of play time at mid-level screen brightness, which is fine. This extra battery was definitely the way to go. Just to test it, I set the brightness at full level and got 6 hours and 40 minutes of play time. The normal 8 hours is plenty for me on any flight. Panasonic is running a special now for a free $29 travel case and a free airplane/car travel adapter), both by rebate. You won't be sorry with this player, if you get the extra battery.

Panasonic 9 inch DVD Player.......2006-03-20
I really like this DVD player. The picture is very sharp and the sound is pretty good, albeit somewhat tinny. It sounds better when I use the Bose headphones. The screen moves so the picture is always clear, especially if you're using it primarily on a plane like I do.
Battery life is limited (2 hours).
