The Sony Portable DVD Player.......2007-12-15
PROS: All of the accessories that come with this DVD player are great the remote is cool. The swivel screen is very cool to i like how you can play cds and mp3 and all that kind of goodness. The two headphone jacks, the a/v in and out options is nice with the hook up to a tv set or monitor is a great idea too.
CONS: This Machine is very good all round the only downside to it is the picture quality. What I mean by that is that the LCD screen is liney what i mean by that is that you can notice the vertical line (at least I do). The other thing that i noticed is that you have to have the screen in the direction of you otherwise it looks as though the picture is too dark or whatever.
Sony DVPFX810R.......2007-12-14
I love my sony DVPFX810R. The swivel screen is great. This versatile player is compatible with the following media formats: DVD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, and MP3 and I have had no problem with any of hte formats so far. My only complaint would be the battery life.

***NOT IN STOCK***.......2007-12-02
This unit is not in stock and is not shipping. I have had my shipment delayed 4 times with no guarantee of receiving before Christmas. If you are ordering as a Christmas gift, do not order from Amazon. I have purchased many items from them and they have been terrible with this order and only after 4 delays they now tell me this item is backordered. I think it is only fair potential buyers know this before ordering. If I get my unit I will update this review. My original order was back on November 17th and I still do not have it and no date given after multiple discussions with customer service.

my wife loves it.......2007-06-17
I bought this as a gift, and my wife loves it. Nice picture, good sound, and no problems so far. (She is pretty hard to please, and I hope she doesn't read this)
The player is good, but . . . .......2007-05-22
I now need a new battery for this player and I've found it near impossible to find a battery and when I did find one, it cost $80.00 plus shipping. That's a disappointment.
DVD On the Road.......2007-03-11
Can't get a break from the constant talking and laughing and questions of a reunion or get-together? Grab the 8" Portable LCD DVD Player with Car Kit and go out to the park. You're greeted with the quiet and soft sounds of the park. And, the only think to interupt this peacefulness? The sound of "Hang Em High" without any interuptions. Ah-hh what a way to spend Sunday afternoons.
just so-so.......2007-02-13
The picture on this DVD player is not great - it's okay. The other problem we have is that the plugs do not have a good connection with the unit. My daughter was watching a movie one day in the car and there was a sudden LOUD squealing noise over the headphones. We never figured out what happened, however I suspect it could be the poor connection.
Very well satisfied.......2007-02-01
I was a little concerned when I read the negative reviews AFTER I had already decided and ordered this player. I've been using almost daily, playing movies,DVD concerts,Cd-R with photos of children and grandchildren. The multifunctions are great and with the headsets on, the concerts are superb, especially when you set the audio to digital surround. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but for the money with everything included I am very well satisfied. Ron in Pa.

False Advertising.......2007-07-09
Just purchased GPX's PDL 805 to play Region 1 and 2 DVDs. The product description specifies it will play both NTSC and PAL. It DOES NOT. I tried to get technical support from the seller (no luck) AND from the maker - GPX.com. GPX's technical support told me it will play European DVDs only when ... hooked up to a PAL TV! Needless to say I didn't get a portable DVD player to keep it connected to a TV. What a bunch of nonsense. Don't buy it if you want to play PAL DVDs.

Customer Reviews:
Unreliable.......2006-12-01
I actually bought three of these units for 5x per year car trips for my 5 children. Two of the units still work, although the battery life is not long (2 movies tops, if that). The third unit broke -- the little button that shuts off the player if the unit is closed is permanently depressed, so it never plays. I am not having much luck with customer service. The phone number for the portable DVD player support is permanently busy. I've sent an e-mail, but not much luck. I didn't save my receipt, so not sure this thing will be worth fixing. I purchased at Costco, so a return -- even if I had the receipt -- is out the question.
Didn't even make it a year.......2006-09-16
Very disappointed in this movie player. It has failed after 9 months of occasional use. It says no disc. I can't find my sales receipt from when I bought it and their website says I need it even if I had registered it orginally.
Trying a different brand now, hope it lasts longer.
Unsatisfactory battery life and lousy customer service.......2006-09-13
I purchased a Mintek MDP-1815 portable DVD player on July 10, 2005. It was used somewhat infrequently, primarily on long car trips with my grandchildren. Occasionally, I loaned it to my daughter for her use with the grandchildren during their long car trips. It worked fine until about April 2006, when the battery [properly charged before the trip] "died" shortly after the grandchildren started watching a movie. During the next attempt to use the unit on a road trip [following an overnight charging], the unit played for one movie and then stopped function, even though it was plugged into the vehicle's 12-volt electrical outlet. I subsequently called Mintek on July 25, 2006 and talked to their Customer Service Department, at which time I told them that the unit's battery would not hold a charge and would not function in a vehicle, even when plugged into a 12-volt outlet. The customer service representative told me to send to Mintek the battery and a copy of the sales receipt, and they would send me a new battery. Having just moved from one state to another, I let a month lapse before sending the battery. I have now received a telephone call from Mintek telling me that they would not send a replacement battery, since I let "too much time lapse" before sending the defective battery to them. So their one-year warranty is being "strictly" adherred to, even though I had the problem start before the year had expired and was told by their representative that they would replace the defective battery. I feel like I gave them adequate justification to replace a defective product, but they do not stand behind their warranty. I will be returning the player to the store where it was purchased, and even if I do not get a refund the retailer will be aware that the Mintek product was sorely deficient. I will never buy another Mintek product.
Just Ok Personal DVD Player.......2006-08-16
***
For the money, this DVD player is fine, but it is definitely an entry-level player. I had bought a smaller Mintek (7") before that I was extremely pleased with. This player, although larger, is missing some of my favorite features present in the smaller player. My favorite feature in my old unit (which lasted for two years of extremely heavy use---say two hours daily) was the fast forward and fast backward. These multiply the speed each time you hit the FF or FB (first time is 2X, second time is 4X, etc.---all the way up to 32X). I had liked this because with the subtitles on, I could fast forward through boring parts of DVDs and still quickly read what, if anything, was going on. The fastest speed on this player has increased from 16X to 32X but you can no longer read the subtitles above 2X while the action is FF-ing so you no longer know what if you're missing something. Or you can FF really slowly at 2X. You have to watch the whole DVD.
This DVD player is part of a kit, coming with all accessories, cords, batteries, etc. so you only need to spend the purchase price. It comes with only one headset, though (instead of two headsets like the smaller version).
The picture quality is great, and I do enjoy the larger size screen. A small increment in screen size makes a HUGE difference!
Pretty much all of the functions of the player are on both the player and the remote. This is an improvement over the smaller version. As a side note, I have been using the remote from the old player on the new one, since it hasn't failed yet, with no problems.
This player seems as sturdy as the old one. It closes without a latch, just four silicone pads, two on the top and two on the bottom of the screen, but so far it hasn't fallen open. I'm pretty careful with it though, because my old one failed because of the many, many time I dropped it, especially the last time, which torqued the screen and almost separated it from the rest of the player.
You can't argue with the price, I just expected more and better, not less with a bigger screen. This wouldn't be a bad purchase, just not a great one.

Disappointing.......2006-06-09
Item arrived and screen did not work. Manual was completely useless. Called tech service at Mintek and voice mailbox was full so could not leave a message.

Magnavox repair.......2007-05-15
The dvd player worked well for 1 hour. Then the picture failed totally. This is when the pain began. It took over a week to get a customer number to enable me to return the item Promised call backs never happened. Then I returned it and it has been more than 8 weeks. Last story was this model is no longer made and they are trying to decide what to replace it with. Again a promised call back never occured. The item still has not been replaced! I would stay away from magnavox / phillips at all costs.
I love my dvd player.......2007-03-17
I purchased this dvd player almost 2 months ago, and am very happy with my purchace.It has a great picture, good optics, good sound, but depending if there are loud noises, you may need headphones. I used my walkman headphones,and they worked just fine. I have a friend with a no name brand, and you can't basically hear it without external speakers, so this was a concern for me. The sound is suffient, at least for the size of the speakers. I can sit a good few feet away and hear it just fine. The charge lasts a really long time. Well, I never played it for more then 3 hours, but the charge still remained. Plus I always charge it up before I store it, and when I plugged the battery back on the machine after a month, it was still fully charged. It comes with a remote which is a nice feature as well. I felt it was a good choice for the money, I am happy with my purchase.
Magnavox DVD Player--UGH!.......2007-02-25
My husband bought me this DVD player for my birthday earlier this month. I fell in love with it. The screen is a great size, picture is crisp and clear, I had these awesome headphones that when plugged into this player made it sound as if I were in a movie theater.
I only give this 3 stars because it just gave out on me 2 weeks after I got it. I thought maybe it was the plug or battery or something but those weren't the issues at all. It was just that the player stopped working. I was extremely disappointed with this.
With a name brand like this I did expect a hell of a lot more than just two weeks of pure enjoyment. Maybe it was just my luck or something.
Buy Something Else, seriously.......2007-02-07
It didn't play and registered NO DISC with a brand new dvd installed. When I got one to work, it was fuzzy.
You have to put the volume at super duper high to even hear it.
it's pretty heavy, too. am going to return it.
Nice DVD player for the cost.......2007-01-30
The DVD's are very quite when played which was something I really wanted. I had purchased another player elsewhere and the sound of the dvd turning was so annoying I took it back. Great picture quality and sleek look as well. Well worth the price.

Amazon.com Product Description
A road warrior's dream, a home theater's able centerpiece: Toshiba's SD-P2700 DVD-Video/DVD-Audio portable DVD player gives you the best of both worlds. The compact unit is distinguished by its sleek appearance, its 8.9-inch polysilicon widescreen display, and its high-resolution 1,024 x 600-pixel screen. The TFT (thin-film-transistor) active-matrix display delivers film-like images rich in detail, color resolution, and contrast.
Besides media playback versatility--it handles everything from DVD-Video to DVD-R, VCD, MP3/WMA CD, and a host of image formats--the SD-P2700 offers Toshiba's Super ColorStream Pro progressive-scan component-video outputs (for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs) and employs an 10-bit, 54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter to cement its guarantee of stellar image quality. A sleek, credit-card-sized remote control simplifies operation.
Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
Further, the SD-P2700 incorporates the Toshiba exclusive Digital Direct LCD Drive, which minimizes conversion artifacts by streaming the video signal directly from the MPEG decoder to the LCD screen driver in the digital domain, bypassing D/A-A/D conversions that would otherwise degrade image quality.
Toshiba's digital photo viewer displays images right on your television in a variety of popular formats, including Konica, Fuji Photo, Kodak Photo CD, as well as standard JPEG files--there's even a Secure Digital/MultiMedia Card slot to further simplify viewing. An onscreen display walks you through the process of making your own slideshows, in which you can preset the viewing time of each slide as well as zoom, rotate, and pan each photo.
Leading-edge 24-bit/192 kHz digital-analog converters from Analog Devices delivers exceptional 2-channel DVD-Audio frequency response and dynamic range. DVD-Audio discs deliver high-resolution audio, capturing and reproducing all of the nuances of the original performance and offering high-resolution surround sound as well as stereo. (DVD-Audio resolution is available through the analog audio outputs only.)
A pair of built-in headphone jacks let you watch or listen with a partner, while Spatializer N-2-2 ULTRA and Natural Headphone virtual surround sound algorithms simulate surround through 2 speakers or 1 set of headphones. The built-in stereo speakers (1.5 watts x 2) grant headphone-free listening through high-efficiency titanium drivers in bass-reflex enclosures for more full-bodied sound than typical portables produce.
The SD-P2700 passes both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals through its coaxial-type digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The supplied lithium-ion battery blends seamlessly with the player's cosmetic profile and offers around 3.5 hours of uninterrupted movie or music entertainment. The battery also charges quickly, in just 3 hours.

Plays MPG files nicely.......2006-01-22
The main reason I purchased this player was to have a portable dvd player that has the "divx" playback feature (not mentioned in the US literature), but you can read about it at DIVX.com. It won't play .avi files, you have to rename them to .mpg to play them. So far I've been able to play mpeg1, mpeg2, mpeg4, xivd, divx encoded files. The player features are better than average. The remote is nice. The whole unit feels a little on the cheap side. I've had no real issues yet. I like this one better than my go-video player (it has a smaller lcd, at a lower resolution)
Beware.......2005-08-29
I received a new Toshiba SD-P2600 for Fathers Day Last year from my kids. After fourteen months of ownership and less than twenty five hours of use, the player would not turn on. This unit was manufactured in March, 2004. Since this unit is factory service only I mailed it to Toshiba. Several weeks later I was informed that the main board was burned out and the cost or repair was $466.00. That is in addition to the $70.00 to look for the problem. If I had it repaired the total cost invested in the unit would be $1,135.00. This total, of course, does not include the $49.00 I had to pay in shipping and handling to return it to me. Run, do not walk, away from this product. Just because the retail price may indicate that it is comparable to high end lines like Sony and Panasonic, the quality is more like the cheap lines sold at drug stores.
NICE LITTLE MACHINE, 2 PROBLEMS.......2005-06-04
Nice little player, carries well, battery charges OK, but pity locked into region 1, no hacking codes yet, but plays region free discs OK. Speakers very ordinary, headphones are essential for listening. Never freezes,picture great provided you sit square on to the screen, peripheral image not good.
Freezes often-do not buy.......2005-03-27
My wife and I bought this player for our kids (for long car trips) for Christmas 2004. We are both working professionals (teacher and policeman). This player started to freeze during playback from the very first dvd played. It got progressively worse over a period of 3 months. We only played excellent quality and brand new dvds in this player. It now freezes during almost every playback. A complete reboot (turning it off and then on) is required to get it going again. This "freezing" occurs when using the battery, the electrical cord or the car adapter...it makes absolutely no difference. We thoroughly read and followed the instructions before using the player for the first time. We also referred to the manual when we ran into this freezing problem, but no mention of a fix there. We contacted Toshiba USA and Toshiba Canada with negative results even though the player is in mint condition, under warranty and with all the accessories. Our advice to you...don't buy this model or any others from Toshiba.
Nice player BUT.......2005-01-17
This is an excellent player, with many nice features. The screen is sharp but, and this is a very big but, the viewing angles are so narrow as to render this almost unusable and is really unacceptable in today's world of LCD screens. It's a shame because the unit is well-designed and well-made. The inclusion of Component and S-Video outputs allows you to use it as player with larger screens which is a major plus but not enough to negate the narrow viewing angles. If the only way you plan on using it is sitting still on an airplane for several hours, you'll be happy. If you move around, or want to put it in the back seat of your minivan for 2 kids to watch, this is not the one for you-or them.

Apex Digital is a horrible company........2005-03-17
Apex Digital products often fail within the first year. They have horrible customer service, false advertising, and fail to honor their warranties. Please check www.labbb.gov (Better Business Bureau) and search for Apex Digital to see the F rating the better business bureau has given them. Saving 10-15 dollars is not worth the hassle they cause.

Piece of junk.......2007-05-28
Like some of the other reviewers, worked great until a few months later and now the DVD's just spin with the loading icon displayed. A total and complete waste of money.
Ripped off.......2007-01-02
I purchased two of these DVD players and both of them have stopped working. My daughters used them each about 6 times on long road trips so they are like new. However, the last time we tried to use them, the DVDs would not load. You can actually hear the motor grinding and grinding. What a rip off! Audiovox will fix them for $93.00 each. I already spent close to $400 for two pieces of junk! Anyone ever try to report businesses like this to The Better Business Bureau or anything?
Still Loading.......2006-09-28
My daughter received this DVD player Christmas 2005. It seemed to work just fine for a few months. Then, one day it just seemed to be in an eternal "Loading" position. I bought a name brand DVD lens cleaner to see if that would rectify the problem. It did not. Thus, it is "loading".
this is a very good Portable DVD Player.......2006-01-09
I had this unit as a gift from my brother. Its been over a year now and had no problem with it what so ever. I use it almost everyday specially when i'm in bed and it is working just fine even with my back-up movies and my mp3 CDs. the battary can almost playes two movies or a one three hours movie when its fully charged. I even dropped it coupl times thnking there is no way its gonna work again but it suprised me. the down side of it is the sound quality comming from the built-in speakers which is a common thing in all Portable DVD players and for some reason the bottom of the player heats up and gets warm. I dont know if the same thing happens in all Portable DVD players or not. otherwise this is a good unit to invest your money in.
Wouldn't recommend it........2006-01-04
Purchased back in May 2005. Worked great for a few trips, even went overseas with it, then put it away for a few months. Going on another trip, took the player out, and when I insert a disc, it just spins and spins and spins, displaying "Loading disc" on the display. It never gets past this step.
I would definitely recommend anyone looking at this product to stay away.
