I had been after a Portable DVD player for a while but hadn't really seen one which caught my eye, until i found this one. It is small and light unlike all the other bulkier models that i have seen on the market.
I had a look on their website and decided that this would be a reasonable investment. and i was right.
The model is just perfect for what i need it for, its small enough to fit in a dash of a car but large enough for 2 people to watch with ease as it has a 7" widescreen TFT screen. You can even watch with head phones as there are 2 sockets on the side. It will play CD-R and CD-RW also JPEG and MP3. You can even connect it to a TV and it comes with all the cables to do so.
The battery itself only last about 3 hours and takes 3 hours to charge although I'm sure you can purchase battery packs for it.
Advantages: Build quality and battery life. Disadvantages: Battery drains down quickly if left attached.
...I have owned my HitachiPDV302 portable DVD player for 15 months now and it is the best DVD player I have owned. The unit oozes class and the build quality is very good. After 15 months of abuse by my 2 children (now 10 & 3 years old), and several drops and manic button pressing by the youngest, it stills looks very well, and works faultlessly.
The unit features a detachable LI-Ion battery with a stated battery life of 150 minutes. In my experience with this unit the battery life, when fully charged, is nearer to 165 minutes, and that tends to take care of most movies. One minor niggle, which I suspect is common to most portable DVD players is that the unit can not be charged when viewing. It either works from the mains or from the attached battery. However, if you unplug the mains adapter the unit switches to battery power...
