 Great DVD player while it lasted February 26, 2010

I would have given this product 5*'s except that it stopped working 3 months after I bought it. Up until then, the picture was great, the sound volume was great, and the battery life was exceptional.
 Good quality unit but returned it February 25, 2010

As a simple DVD player this unit is good for the money. The fit and finish is above average with the sound also above average and the video quality as good as you can get from a small screen. I did return it because the sound and video do not turn off when the top is closed. The unit was purchased to be used both as a portable unit and as a main DVD unit for a bedroom. When hooked up to a TV there is no video button or built in switch that turns off the video or sound when hooked up externally to a TV. As a result you need to turn the volume down otherwise you can hear it from the unit. More importantly there is a glow from the unit as the video screen is still showing the movie. Additionally, this is a lousy miss by Sony as the battery has been depleted on more than one occasion as my child has closed the top on a movie when it was over and the video screen remained on draining the battery. My portable Panasonic and Toshiba both had the ability to both automatically and manually switch the video/ sound off.

Love SONY February 16, 2010

We bought this for my daughter for when we go on long road trips to keep her entertained. For parents with little ones, you know how hard it is driving long distances with kids. So, this portable DVD player is the perfect size for them.
It's easy to use; no difficult keys or functioning required. I bought the case to strap to the seat as well and it holds it in place just perfectly.
 90 Day Warranty - 100 Day Lifespan February 4, 2010

I bought this DVD player for the backseat passengers to watch movies on weekend trips. Over a 3 1/2 month period, the Sony DVD player was used on about six or seven trips, for two or three hours each...less than 20 hours of total use. At that point, it began "freezing up" during the opening menu or after about the first five minutes of the movie. At that point, it was 100 days old, and the 90 day labor warranty had expired.
Sony has offered to replace it with a refurbished player for $33, after I pay $12 shipping and insurance to return it to Sony. So, for $45, I will get a refurbished replacement unit that comes with...you guessed it...a 90 day warranty.
Over the past decade, Sony's once great reputation for high quality products has been going down hill. I will replace this DVD player with either a better one from Panasonic...a company that still makes great products...or I'll buy a "Brand X" player that is cheap and just throw it away when it stops playing.
When the Sony was working, the picture was nice, the sound through headphones was okay, and the sound through its tiny speakers was thin and annoying to hear. The Sony player is NOT better than the cheaper units sold by other companies...customers pay extra for the Sony "name"...a name that no longer means high quality products.
The battery life is about three hours, not the advertised five hours...enough to watch one long movie, or two short movies.
