 No-Frills; Just Solid Philips August 22, 2009

I spent a lot of time debating between this and a comparably priced Coby with more bells and whistles. I decided to bet on the known Philips quality. I lived some in Europe, where Philips is a much bigger name than here and gained respect for their quality. Haven't had it long enough to attest firmly to its durability; but that's where confidence and "feel" comes in. This feels solid, if you can feel solidity.
It's simple, that's the primary issue, I think. Simple to set up; and it simply works. Pretty intuitive, really. I've seen no problems with running either DVDs or CDs. Picture is excellent. Could use a remote; but that's one of the quality verses bells & whistles you'll need to consider. It does the basics and does them well, except for one thing that I believe is common to all in this price range.
The speakers are tinny and I've already added the Sony SRSM50/WHI Compact, Stylish, Transportable Speaker (White), which is perfect for it. This is not a criticism, really, 'cause these little players all have tinny sound or have given something else up to improve the sound and keep it in the size and price range. This factor is easy to overcome, if you don't like tinny sound. Inexpensive earphones are another option, and I found the Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS port for increased bass response to work just fine, for exceptionally small extra expense.
If the basics are good, the bells and whistles are just often-greasy gravy. I'm happy at this point, satisfied with my decision.
Peace at last!!! October 6, 2009

I just received this portable dvd player and after reading and searching for a good one this one looked like the "ONE" and it IS!!!! as soon as I plugged it in the car, it was PURE PERFECTION, the kids sat there quiet and for the first time they weren't acting like wild cats, they actually sat in their chairs and watched and listened for the movie.
The picture is really really good, and the sound pretty loud, is very light and extremely easy to use.
So far its been one of the best investments I've ever made, I totally recommend it!!!!
I WILL buy another one! June 6, 2010

I love this portable video player. It has held up great. I bought this during Christmas 2009 to take with me to visit my parents in Kentucky. It has held up great and continues to work well. I will buy another one in the future. For the money it is a great product.
literally i can take it anywhere!!! love it. June 16, 2010

Philips Portable DVD Player, 7-inch screen July 23, 2010

I ordered two of these for an 8-hour road trip with my grandchildren. I'd previously made the trip with one DVD player and tried to act as ref regarding who got a turn with it, but the price on the Philips 7-inch portable was so good that I could afford to get one for each child. I bought them based on reviews at the website, and I was not disappointed. Sound quality was great, picture quality clear. It was easy to run (ages 7 and 11), lightweight, and took up so little room that I packed both in a very small shoulder bag. I am looking forward to having these available every time we're in the car over an hour.
