Advantages: Stylish and portable... as good as a mini apple Disadvantages: Reasonably heavy for its size
...Our new pet is a Philips portable DVD player PET720.
One of our kids had requested a purple portable DVD player for Christmas, something initially I was not keen on encouraging. There seemed little point since we have a DVD player in the lounge, a PS2 which doubles as a DVD player in the playroom and a built in DVD system in the car. Her reasons for wanting one were mainly that she could watch films in her room when friends came for a sleepover. ... ...~*~*~*~
Whenever you see the Philips PET720 advertised in a catalogue, you invariably get a view of it showing the screen. This suggests that the player is a black model. The interior of the DVD player is jet black. It therefore came as a surprise when we opened the box to find that the top of the player is shiny and white (think Apple Mac). It is lovely to look at and it has a silver bottom too.

Advantages: Small, compact, great picture quality Disadvantages: none at moment
This is a really good little player, picture is fantastic and it's everything I expected from the specification. The picture quality is excellent (very watchable even for an adult), good sound quality, cute remote control, and it has a very neat and sleek appearance.
The battery pack is also very compact and does not detract from the look of the player, and has a longer life than any other players I looked at.
I am very happy with the player, the ... ...it is much better then most of the other players available. I also managed to change the player into a multi region player by finding the code on the internet, this was one of the main features I wanted from a player as I have a few Canadian DVD's.
I made it multi-region too, using the following instructions; Switch the player on and open the DVD tray lid inside the machine. Press Setup on the remote control. Move the menu selector down to Preferences ...

Advantages: Stylish, Fantastic Picture, Great Sound, Robust, Plays Most Formats. Disadvantages: Have'nt found any yet.
The Philips PET 720 portable DVD/CD player, got mine from Argos for £149.99 but you can find it on the Net for much less.

Advantages: Great sound and picture, lightweight, 2.5 hour battery which is small and light! Great build! Disadvantages: None!
...As you would expect from Philips it looks great and has a great quality build. Playes almost everything and works great as a standrad DVD Player when connected to the TV. All in all an excellent buy. So far - No Problems. The remote is thin, palm sized, and easy to use. You get a car adaptor and ac/dc adaptor, however no carry bag, but I bought a Philips one for £19.99. Excellent! Thanks for reading! x ...
