Advantages: Sleek, modern design, good quality screen and speakers Disadvantages: Battery life of just over 2 hours
A sleek but sturdy portable DVD player with up to 2 hours of battery life, good quality screen and speakers and mobile functionality. Recommended.
Appearance
The DVD player is very compact and attractive. It has a white outer shell and a black interior fascia. There is a flip up drawer on the bottom half where you put the DVDs in, which is opened by sliding the button on the front panel. It is smart and modern enough to be confident to use it on ... ...paid £70.00 for the player a few months ago, but I strongly advise other to shop around as I understand it can not be bought for around £50.00. It is well worth either price in my opinion.
Operation
The buttons on the player itself provide rather limited functionality: Play, Pause, Skip, Forward, Rewind, Stop, Menu and AV Out/DVD. It is by using the remote control that the player comes into its own. In addition to the functionality available by ...

Review of Philips PET 716
I found this dvd player very easy and versatile to use. It is very easy to turn on and allows the user to easily choose which av format is required. It is sleek and stylish and will look good in any h9ome rangine from medium to small. Its durable and the remote control operation is very simple. The instructions are a little on the complex side but even the most elderly owner will be able to grasp what they are aiming at. The price is the only thing ...

Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: No car fixing kit
...Darren then spotted the Philips DVD portable with docking for an Apple iPod whilst reading his Nuts magazine and the thought of another 3 hour drive to Wales and back again listening to Cbeebies or In The Night Garden just proved too much for us both. We checked out where we would be able to purchase the DVD player and found it on Amazon. So I went searching through all my survey sites so see what Amazon vouchers I had access to and cashed them all ... ...as I can.
The Philips DCP951 Portable DVD player with Docking for Apple iPods.
The player is black in colour 18cm high 23.5 cm wide and 4cm deep. The TFT screen is 10.5 cm high and 20cm wide. The perfect size for using in the car and for slipping into a bag to carry around with you. It is supplied with a 12v adaptor to plug the player into a cigarette lighter and a power adaptor lead to plug into your house sockets, a remote control and a ...

...Then I decided to buy Philips PET740 portable DVD player hoping it would solve the problem. The Product Philips PET740 is a very portable DVD player with its dimension of 4 inches in height by 24 inches in width by 16.8 centimeters in diameter. The weight of 1 kilogram makes it very light and handy. The control buttons are located at the right side of the base of the DVD player. The location of the control buttons is ideal for me. Some DVD players’ ... ...first time we used this Philips PET740 portable DVD player, my older son requested if the two of them could be possibly buckled up in just one seatbelt as I play ‘The Lion King’ disc so both of them could have a perfect view of the screen. It was a very good but a funny suggestion that honestly surprised me. I can trust the picture quality of this DVD player. I rarely experience interruptions while playing a movie with it. If the picture freezes ...

Review of Philips PET740
Advantages: Excellent picture and sound, overall this was brilliant Disadvantages: None
Packaging This came in a mainly red coloured cardboard box with sliver and white colours on it as well. The white colouring is used for the writing which you will see on either sides plus on the back and the front as well. The silver is used in a horizontal line the whole way around the rim of the lid and this goes completely around the box. The box is of medium size and has a handy little part at the top which you pull out in order to open the lid. ... ...portable dvd player and the tiny remote that is provided with it. The box is very nice and well presented it caught my eye when i was looking for a new portable dvd hence why i ended up purchasing it. Overall the box was easy to open, well packed and nicely designed! I especially like the part on the lid to open and close it with because when you open some boxes you literally have to wreck them to get into them and then you are left with a demolished ...
