Philips PET702 7-Inch Portable DVD Player

I got this for my birthday, and the next day, I was out on the road with it. We watched many, many different movies, and they all worked great. Even in bumps, there was no freezing on the screen. The one con I have is that my brother used it, and he didn't turn it off all the way. There is no button to turn it off. Instead, there is a little flip-switch type thing. Make sure you turn it off ALL THE WAY (double check) so you can watch it when you aren't in reach of electric. Overall, this is worth the price, and I reccomend you get this DVD player over any others in this price range. I also recommend a case by CaseLogic to hold it in.

This DVD player was purchased right before a vacation and plane trip. A previous plane trip ended in a baby meltdown and we were looking for ways to avoid another one. This DVD player has been everywhere- planes, cars, restaurants and has endured some abuse done by the child and still works great! Two little improvements- the picture isn't as clear as it could be and the volume is almost too quiet for plane rides.

My second player of this model just broke for the second time. I had purchased it first for a plane ride and it served its purpose very well: bright screen, loud speakers, loads quick. But a small (SMALL= less than 1 foot) drop in a padded protective case on a carpeted floor and it was rendered inoperable. Thankfully I was within the return guidelines and I exchanged for the same model.

This time it was mishandled and dropped on my bed mattress!! again, less than 1 foot drop on an extremely padded surface and now it will not load. the laser does not move.

next time, i will buy Sony or some other reputable manufacturer. this is the 3rd philips product that has broken unneccessarily for me (unportable DVD, 27" TV, portable DVD)

My wife and I took our grandson (3 years old) on a long trip in the car. We felt that a portable DVD player would help keep him occupied on the trip (both in the car and in the hotel).

It did. Thanks to its ease of operation, picture and sound quality, and versatility (working off of both the 12 volt power outlet in the car and the AC outlet in the hotel room, as well as off it's own internal battery when necessary), our grandson enjoyed his favorite movies (Cars and Meet the Robinsons) and my wife and I retained our sanity.

Considering this is a reburshied product its in good condition, all the features work, and the quality of the picture is good. It met all my expectations of being able to watch movies when not at home. My only regret is that it can't show movies that are in Blue-ray or high defintion format, the way yopu can see it from a TV.
