Venturer PVS 12620

Advantages: very easy to use
Disadvantages: it dosent play DVD R

...I got the Venturer PVS12620 for christmas, and i must say i am very impressed. It is very easy to use for both grown ups and children. Battery life is good, you get time enough to watch a 2 hour film. The DVD player is light and dosent take up much room in a bag. Very handy for trips and travelling. It supports Jpeg files which makes it possible to look at your picture discs aswell. The only disadvantage is that it dosent play DVD R's which can be annoying for anybody recording from TV in that format. I would recommend this DVD player to any family with children. However do keep in mind that it dosent play DVD R's.... Read review

After even more whining (to open my pressie early) xmas day came and I excitedly opened the package... Read review

...My review is on the same dvd player just it is a different model, the difference is it's scree is 6.2" not 6 and a half. The Venturer PVS 17200 (im reviewing a different model but they look the same) is a great little dvd player for the car or any means of travel. I myself have watch alot of films on it using the power mains cable included in the box when you buy it. This is a great present for the kids if you travel alot and want to keep them occupied. It Even comes with a remote control and a battery ***About the Player*** The PVS 17200 is a handheld DVD player with its own screen with a size of 6.2".
