How it sucks

click term for excerpts - most relevant excerpts first
I'd give it 10 out of 10 stars if I could! Side Note: When first putting in a dvd it does make a loud spin up noise, but that is normal on all dvd players anyway. It will not interfere with normal operation of the device.

Has a external battery, but that doesn't bother me. Comes with car adapter and palm sized remote and the other audio/video cables. Has two head phone jacks on the side.

Resolution is great from 2 feet away, but looks a little grainy up close.

How it doesn't

Battery life is great! Other people said it will last 6 hours on one charge! Audio is crisp and clear without head phones!

It is also easy to unlock to region-free as i watch a lot of UK movies. Another excellent point is that it will play all my music files (mp3) on a DVD.

We upgraded to the 8.5-inch (PET824) this time and it has held up the best so far.

Bought this DVD player after much research and just love it. The battery lasts forever (6 hours) and the picture is great.

Especially great with Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones!

I now have around 100 of my CD's in mp3 format and record them onto a single DVD so i never have to change the disc on a drive from East coast to West coast!(I work all over USA). I then plug the DVD player into my truck sound system and use the remote to change tracks etc. Great buy!
