4 out of 5 stars good sound.......2007-10-24

These speakers are very lightweight and much smaller than I thought but the sound that comes out is surprisingly loud even though it doesn't have the base sound to it. It also sounds very good without that tinny sound you sometimes hear.

5 out of 5 stars Best portable speaker I ever used.......2007-09-13

This speaker could be the best portable speaker I ever used. I have traveled from Japan to Europe through Mid-East, spent 2 years on the way.
The music is needed wherever I go and this speaker was my partner on the trip.
The sound is incredibly good from the size of the body, and this is so compact to carry. During the travel, I didnt see a lot of trouble of the quality and work so long; doesnt seem to get broken so easily.

The sound can be so loud as this has 2w; 2w is really huge output for portable speaker. You will not find any portable speaker as louder as this is. Of course, batteries only last a couple of hours, but that is because this creates a loud sound.

Hope this helps you

5 out of 5 stars Sony Travel Speakers.......2007-03-28

I am very happy with this product. The sound is quite good for a small unit running on batteries. Even with the sound turned on quite loud, it doesn't distort the sound much at all.
Very happy.

2 out of 5 stars Look for other options.......2006-04-14

Sound quality is pretty good. The design is unacceptable imo. Battery door keeps popping open. There's no place for the wire to retract when not in use. It takes 4 AA batteries and it should be bundled with an AC adaptor.

4 out of 5 stars Solid set of speakers.......2006-01-27

These have worked for years, enduring transatlantic trips to Ireland and England. Very rugged, great sound even though you can't separate the speakers. Take 4 AA's. Looses a star because the wire does not fold or wrap neatly anywhere, hangs loose!! Come on Sony, it's the small cleaver details that keeps your products on top.

4 out of 5 stars Great Speakers.......2007-11-14

Good quality speakers, I use with my Motorola Q at work almost everyday. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it doesn't come with a remote to control the volume.

5 out of 5 stars Great Product for Bluetooth Cell Phones.......2007-09-08

Very easy to set up and use with any Bluetooth cell phone. Now you can listen to your stored music almost any where that you please. Tone quality is pleasant for such a small unit. I enjoy the portabality and design of the Sony unit. Does just what it is supposed to do and no more..great BUY.......

CyberHome CH-LDV 712 7" Portable Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Silver)

Product Description

DVD to go! The CH-LDV 712 has all the advanced features of today's hottest players, in a size that fits in your hand. Take it with you wherever you go - it's perfect for the car, on the plane or anywhere you want to enjoy personal entertainment. A big 7" LCD screen gives you crystal-clear video in Widescreen 16: 9 format. The screen also adjusts to fit movies recorded for standard 4: 3 TV format. Built-in stereo speakers and headphones jack provide realistic sound. And best of all, a 4-hour battery gives you enough power for two full-length movies.When you're feeling like relaxing at home, connect the CH-LDV 712 to your TV and Home Theater System - it functions just like a conventional home DVD Player, complete with Remote Control. Video and Audio cables are provided so you can quickly take advantage of the 712's Progressive Scan Video and Digital Audio out.

Amazon.com

Watch movies, listen to MP3 CDs, view digital photos, or review camcorder footage--all from one portable device. The CyberHome CH-LDV 712 puts a world of entertainment at your fingertips, and it comes with everything needed to use it in the car or in home. Its built-in seven-inch widescreen LCD displays your favorite movies in their native aspect ratios and gives you the option to fill the screen with discs formatted in the standard 4:3 TV aspect ratio.

Choose to listen from the unit's built-in stereo speakers or its headphone jack and supplied earbud headphones. Best of all, perhaps, the unit's four-hour battery life gives you enough juice to watch two full-length movies. Full format compatibility includes everything from standard NTSC DVD-Video to PAL- and P-SCAN-formatted discs, audio CD, VCD, SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, JPEG CD, MP3 CD, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the CH-LDV 712 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs when used in a home-theater environment. 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.

The player also performs 3:2 pulldown through its progressive-scan output. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Other connections include S-video and composite-video outputs (composite-video is switchable as an input), and a switchable analog audio input/output. An optical digital-audio output lets you hook the player up with an audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system to enjoy immersive DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround from your discs (optical digital-audio interconnect not included).

What's in the Box
DVD player, headphones, AC adapter, automobile DC power adapter, remote control, stereo analog-audio output cable, composite-video output cable, and a user's manual.

2 out of 5 stars THOUGHT I got a great deal! Ha!.......2006-06-19

When I saw this for $99 at K-Mart last year, I thought I had found the answer to our almost-1-year-old son's hatred of car trips. It felt pretty cheap & flimsy, but worked well, and played everything we put in it (even library DVDs that were pretty beat up), but the power cord connection was ALWAYS loose. Then about 3 months ago, it quit working completely--the AC adaptor didn't work, the battery charger didn't work, nothing. Luckily, my brother-in-law is an electronics wiz, and he was able to get it working again in about 5 hours of fiddling (and I didn't have to pay the $59 repair fee--plus shipping--Cyberhome quoted). However, our last car trip last week was IT. Every time we went over a tiny bump in the road, the cord fell out. I'm looking for a new DVD player again!`

2 out of 5 stars Wish we would have chosen a different brand.......2006-01-27

We left all our cords and adapter on an airplane and they couldn't find them, so we tried to find a new adapter to hook it up in the car and no place around had one that would fit. Lots of places sold some that fit most DVD players but not this one. So we went to the Cyberhome webiste and with shipping it cost $55 just for the one adapter, I felt that was rediculously over priced. The average price of the adapter that fit most other DVD players was only $15. Next time we get a DVD player I will makes sure we can easily find new accessories to fit it so we don't have to spend a fortune.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent widescreen portable region-free DVD player (with remote code).......2005-08-22

The CH-LDV 712 is a very sleek player with a 7inch LCD. The remote has mute, volume controls, brightness and language/subtitle controls among others. You can turn off the LCD if you use it to listen to CDs.

Here is the Region code hack found from VideoHelp.
1. Turn on your dvd player using the remote control
2. open the tray
3. press the "stop" button on your remote
4. enter 1999 using the remote & a special menu will pop up.
5. select the region code as indicated using the remote (set it to ALL)
6. confirm it, using "enter" key on remote
7. leave the menu using the "return" button on your remote
8. close the tray

It is great for learning foriegn languages and you can find non-region 1 discs at Amazon's other sites such as France and Germany.

2 out of 5 stars Cyberhome DVD player.......2005-08-01

Dont buy. I had it 2 months when it stopped working. Its the plug when you insert the power. Its broken, and the battery will not charge, it looks like the other connectors (video) are broken too. Very cheap

2 out of 5 stars Flimsy button and does not play some DVD's.......2005-07-25

BUYING ANY PORTABLE DVD PLAYER IS A REAL GAMBLE. I RECOMMEND BUYING ONE FROM SOMEWHERE WHERE IT IS EASY TO RETURN IN CASE YOU HAVE PROBLEMS.

You should be able to find this at a much lower price. Most stores sell it for around $129.

Buying a portable DVD player is a real gamble. You might buy this and not have any problems at all. Someone else might buy it and have all kinds of problems. It is not just Cyberhome that has varying quality, it is all brands. If you look up the reviews of other portable DVD players on Amazon, you will see that they all get positive and negative reviews.

This unit looks cool and has a very nice, sturdy metal case. But, the latches are made of plastic and very flimsy. The button that opens the door broke on my first unit, and I had to replace the unit. On the new unit, the button looks just as weak and I would expect that it would break eventually if I kept it.

The biggest problem I had is that it would not play all my DVD's. I am talking about standard, store-bought DVD's (not DVD-R's or RW's). For instance, it did not play Monsters, Inc. I could not see anything wrong with the disc, and it played OK on all my other DVD players. It would not play about 30% of my DVD's.

This problem with not playing certain DVD's happened on both units I had. Monsters, Inc. would not play on first unit I had, or the replacement unit. So, I returned the unit and got my money back. I will now take a gamble with some other brand.

The resolution and picture quality are not great. I have not compared the picture quality of these portable DVD units, so I don't know if this is typical of all brands. But, I was a little disappointed in the picture quality, when comparing it to the screens on airplanes or in cars.

The only other downside about this unit is that it does not have very many functions on the case, so you have to use the remote control if you want to do something like jump to the next chapter.

I bought this unit because it advertised the longest battery life of any unit I have seen. It claims to get 4 and a half hours on one charge. I didn't keep the unit long enough to time the actual length, but it is certainly well over 2 hours.

It comes with almost everything you would want, including a car charger and remote control. If it played all my DVD's, it would be a pretty nice unit (as long as I was real careful with the buttons).

    Remanufactured Panasonic DVD-LX9 9-Inch Portable DVD Player with External Speaker System (Silver)

    Amazon.com Product Description

    Panasonic's remanufactured, progressive scan DVD-LX9 offers the versatility of a portable DVD player alongside the performance of a sophisticated home-theater component--and you can use it as both. The player handles DVD-Video, high-resolution DVD-Audio, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM playback, as well as standard and recordable CDs, including MP3- and WMA-encoded discs. Its slender chassis holds a solid-sized, 9-inch widescreen (16:9) LCD screen and a built-in rechargeable battery (good for about 2.5 hours between charges).

    Adding to the fun are the external powered speakers that come with the unit, along with the docking cradle that keeps everything connected. Each 2-watt speaker delivers far better sound than a built-in speaker would provide, while the docking cradle offers such bonuses as a switchable component video output--which lets you connect the DVD player to a high-definition TV and enjoy the best possible picture--an S-video output, and a 5.1-channel audio output.

    Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-LX9 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs thanks to its progressive scan technology. 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 player. To enjoy the progressive scan functionality, viewers will need to connect the DVD player to an HDTV through the docking cradle's component video output.

    Designed to take full advantage of both audio and traditional video DVD formats, the DVD-LX9's highest-end sound derives from the immersive six-channel DVD-Audio music format. DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound in both multichannel and stereo. The DVD-LX9 performs its own decoding of DVD-Audio signals, passing high-resolution analog--not digital--audio to your surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate this feature. Audio features also include DTS and Dolby Digital decoding with 5.1-channel analog- and digital-audio outputs and a Dialogue Enhancer for DVD movie viewing. Advanced Surround Sound (VSS), meanwhile, simulates surround effects from any two speakers or from headphones.

    The video extras include a Cinema mode, which 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 the picture contrast. The DVD-LX9 also offers high-speed, five-step Smooth Motion Scan, which provides crystal-clear fast forward and rewind. At the highest setting, the unit scans at an incredible 200 times faster than normal speed. The unit even includes a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot that's compatible with AAC, MP3, JPEG, MPEG4, or voice G.726 files.

    Finally, the player is HighMAT compatible. High-Performance Media Access Technology is a standard co-developed 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 DVD-LX9 measures 9.13 by 1.21 by 6.83 inches (W x H x D), not including the stereo speakers or docking station, and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

      Amazon.com Product Description

      Whether you're looking for a stylish portable alarm clock radio or an MP3-capable CD player to accompany you on the road, Grundig's Etón Ego 4000 Plus may be calling your name. The compact unit uses Grundig's proprietary detachable speaker docking system, which lets you remove the speakers from the exterior of the folding lid and position them apart, like your home speakers. Or, you can leave the speakers attached and play the unit like a small boombox. In any case, Grundig also provides a pair of lightweight street-style stereo headphones to bypass the speakers altogether for private listening.

      The Etón Ego 4000 Plus plays not just audio CDs, but recordable CDs filled with MP3 files, too, with ID3 tag capability (for artist and title display) and the benefit of 40-second shock protection (or an amazing 120 seconds for MP3). Bass boost and a selection of five preset equalization curves help you tailor the sound to your personal preference, and you can listen in various random or repeat modes or program up to 20 CD/MP3 CD tracks to play in sequence.

      The player's fold-up top section puts a backlit LCD in clear view, especially handy when using the built-in alarm and/or calendar features. The clock offers a date indicator, 12-hour time mode, dual alarms (with snooze), and local/world time. You or your partner can wake to the radio, a CD, or a buzzer. For power, use four AA batteries or the unit's AC power adapter (both included).

      Choose from 15-, 30-, and 60-minute sleep settings, or rely on auto power off to shut the player down at the end of a disc. The FM/AM radio comes with 30 station presets (20 FM, 10 AM), auto scanning, and antennas.

      Grundig's design-driven Etón line of portable-audio offers a graceful combination of form and function. Unique product design is the basis for all models, as well as functionality above and beyond other products in the same category. With features that satisfy high-tech, style-conscious listeners, Etón products have an added flare that will attract people seeking distinctive portable audio.

      What's in the Box
      CD unit, speakers, headphones, carrying case, an AC power adapter, four AA batteries, and a user's manual.

      1 out of 5 stars Very Low quality product.......2006-10-05

      I bought this for 49.99 at an outlet store and feel I got ripped off. The finish is peeling off from day one. At first I thought it was the protective plastic that you are supposed to peel off. The radio reception is much worse than my other Eton. When I press the "up" button to change teh station frequency, often the CR player starts.
      Do not buy this from a place that does not give an unconditional money back guarantee, or better yet, choose another product.

      2 out of 5 stars Fine While it Lasted.......2006-08-31

      I purchased mine in August 2004 and it is dead as of August 2006. For travel, while it worked, it was fine; I loved the sleep function, the sound was OK although I chose to use portable speakers with it. But it started behaving peculiarly about six months ago, not starting right up at times. Considering the price and the brand name, this portable player should have had a longer lifespan.

      5 out of 5 stars Love It!.......2006-03-30

      Have used my Grundig Eton for a couple years and love it! I don't need to run it on batteries, but love how it plays CD's, MP3's and is great for recorded books. I do a lot of hand sewing and find it the perfect companion. I like not having to wear a headset or earpiece to hear it, however, it has earpieces and a nice headset if you need them.

      1 out of 5 stars Do not buy this Thing called a Radio.......2006-02-16

      I have rarely been so dissapointed as I was when I received this thing (I hesitate to call it a radio.) I live in Australia and do a bit of international travel. I wanted a travelling radio (AM in particular)that also plays my CD/MP3's. Read the info, and it states in the manual and ON THE UNIT that it is both European and USA frequency compatible in the AM band. NOT TRUE! The US version is US and the European version is European only. So yes it is a travelling radio, it just doesnn't like to travel far!
      The MP3's that I played on the unit, skipped within the tracks, sigh. The keys to set the time/date were hypersensitive and skipped randomly between functions. Yuck.
      Not even worth considering (or spending more time on writing this review)

      3 out of 5 stars versatile but problem prone.......2005-10-17

      When it works, it works very well. My first unit would not play cd's on a consistant basis. It was replaced by merchant. The 2nd unit worked very well for 5 months after which it no longer read a cd or mp3cd. It is interesting than the owner's manual does NOT note that mp3cd's are playable; only standard cd's. The speakers are a joke, but the included headphone produce a great sound. They become uncomfortable after 1-2 hours and the cord is very short. This unit was used by an age 50+ consumer with no misuse and was cleaned regularly. The radio's tuner is weak as FM stations 20 miles+ away were audible only on mono.
