I liked the DVD player when I first used it. It has a nice picture and worked well. I liked the screen which pivots. The buttons worked pretty well. The problem is that it QUIT working after 2 weeks! I called the seller, but he said he wasnt able to help me because I had not kept the original box. it was still under his 30 day warranty, but only with the original packaging. So, I have to go through Sony which is a big hassle because it is difficult to get through. I am very bummed that it quit working after just 2 weeks. NOT HAPPY

Don't buy
Piece of junk--worked exactly 1 week past 90 day warranty. DO NOT buy this machine. Now they want me to pay $33 for a used machine to replace this one. That's a deal? And how long will the new unit work--93 days. For the amount of money I put out for this piece of equipment it is NOT worth it. Don't buy it. Was it a nice machine while it worked--oh yeah a beauty which I imagine is when the good reviews were made. But 90 days later it belongs in the trash.

Screen goes blank after only 2 months of use
Having read reviews of all types of portable DVD players I settled on this SONY model. The picture is good the sound is good. However, after only two months of use the screen goes black sometimes. We don't know when it will happen. We have an old Toshiba portable that has been to Africa and back and is still doing great. I thought SONY would be just as good, but this one is not.

very happy
I bought this for my 2 and 6 year old girls, mainly for long plane trips (we already have one in our car). It was a great purchase and I love the long battery life. Though we would never watch it for such a long period at one sitting, sometimes we are not able to recharge it between movies. It's sleek and nice-looking (bought it in white). I personally like to travel with all its components, so the carrying bag has to be a little bigger to accommodate these. Would purchase again.

Best portable DVD player I've owned
This Sony portable DVD player has a sharp picture with great color and sound quality. In addition to the remote control the player has a touch screen to do most of the features of the remote. It has never failed to play a disc, unlike my previous player, a Mintek. The screen size is large and it swivels to accomodate more than one viewer. I like to use headphones (not included) so as not to disturb other family members. I read numerous reviews and it was the only one I could find, at any price that was universally praised. It is an incredible price for a high level of quality.
