What's great about it: Portability, Sound, Screen Clarity, Ease of Use
What's not so great: Can't use it vertically, no case, no mounting system
Keep it horizontal as a friend bought the same DVD player and attached it vertically to the back seat in the car and one-year later it doesn't work.
I like that I can hook it up to my kids bedroom TV. That way I can use it on a one-off basis. I'm not ready to have DVD machines in the kids' room. Not so thrilled about the TV in the room either.
I would have liked a case with it or the option to buy one and a mounting system. I'm pretty new to all of this so maybe I just haven't looked hard enough. But then again, why should I have to look hard.
This product has... Viewable from any angle, Right screen size for my needs, Smaller than laptop, Enough headphone jacks
About me... Budget Conscious, Need to keep kids quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Volume Adjust on Remote Control
What's not so great: Poor quality, screen freezes
I purchased this DVD Player in September 2010. It has been used maybe 10 times total since the purchase date. I have had numerous problems with this unit. It is basically useless now since it freezes only after 5 minutes of the DVD playing. I know this problem is not a result of normal wear and tear since the unit has been stored properly and not used very often, only on trips in the car. This Sony product has disappointed me and definitely hasn't lived up to the Sony name. Customer Service at Sony is useless. They want a new price for a refurbished unit, or even more to make repairs to my current unit. I definitely didn't get what I paid for in this purchase!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Superb picture and sound quality
What's not so great: Battery could last a bit longer.
I purchased this DVD player in order to take some courses recorded on DVD. This portable player allows me to take the information with me wherever I go. With a set of earbuds, I can use this while having my car serviced, waiting for a doctor's appointment, or anywhere I am that I need to wait. I love the picture quality and sound quality, and this is a truly portable device. I thoroughly enjoy it.

What's great about it: Size, car and AC adapters
We have three of these DVD players and use them on car trips. Battery life is good for most trips. A car adapter helps get more watching time. At home the kids (age 5 -11) watch them in their rooms with the AC adapter. They have survived drops but may not survive drops from smaller kids.

What's great about it: Easy to use, remote control
I bought two of these for a road trip from Pennsylvania to Montana this summer. They held up well for the trip and were easy to use. I like having a remote so I can turn down the volume from the front seat. Battery life is only 3 hours but it comes with car and wall chargers so that was really not an issue. You can hook it up to a TV but not each other. That would have been nice so my kids could watch the same movie together.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Picture quality & ease of use
What's not so great: nothing
Geez, I feel bad...reading all these other comments and we've had nothing but good with it. Works exactly like it's supposed to - very easy to use (I have 2 teenagers and they didn't have to explain it to me!!). Bought it for family trip where there was no tv in cottage. Worked fine plugged in outlet and in the car using charged battery. (didn't need to plug it in using car connector thing) Have had it about 6 months now, kids use it periodically in the bedrooms (don't use it daily) and no problems whatsoever. Am planning on bringing with us on next trip in a month. I got it for $90 in the store. Great value for the money. Awesome picture quality. One of the few electronic thingy's I'm pleased with.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: EASY TO USE
What's not so great: DURABILITY SUCKS
We bought a Sony DVD player for my son. After 7 months it began to freeze. Sony's "warranty" is LIMITED. We have to pay $30 to have the thing repaired! It covers the parts but not the labor! Buy an extended warranty from the store if you purchase Sony. There is no reason after 7 months that a DVD player should need repair!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
