Superb Portable DVD Player

Advantages: Picture quality, Range of features, Media compatibility.
Disadvantages: Quite large (but has 10.2" screen), No proper carry case

Excellent portable dvd player, after having had the Philips 8" player which had specs that would play divx, mp3, and pretty much anything you could throw at it, it developed a hinge fault. I had to replace it and according to the specs for other players, nothing came close. In the specifications for this player it doesn't state the divx compatibility etc, Even so the machine plays them without a hitch. It plays both + and - discs. They also state ...
...don't know where the info for the advert came from, but it has definitely higher spec than they are showing) Before purchasing this model, I used the Currys demo disc instore and tried the Panasonic LS91 and this model. The Panasonic being £30 more expensive, but the picture quality was not as clear. If you get a chance, play the demo disc and when the screen shows the Currys text, look at the blocks on the Panasonic, but not on the Polaroid. Have ...

Review of Polaroid PDU-1063

The Almost Indestructable Portable DVD Player!

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 ...
...of the 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 ...

Review of Durabrand PDV-704

Philips PET 716 Portable DVD Player

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 Sony DVPFX720

A Traveler-Friendly DVD Player

Advantages: Ideal for travelers
Disadvantages: Battery has low powertime capacity

...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 ...
