Hyundai HPD719 - 7inch Multi Region LCD portable DVD Player -Silver with Divx +Free Carry Case

I was quite happy with my old Panasonic DVD player until it decided to give up the fight. So I thought the Hyundai HPD719 DVD Player would be the answer to my problems. I was wrong, the screen quality was appalling and to top it of I was supplied with the wrong TV connections.
The quality is cheep and nasty, don't by it if you're used to something better.

PHILIPS PET707/05 - 7inch Portable DVD Player

I have just got this DVD player and overall I am happy with it,as for the other reviews there are ways of getting round their comments.I googled DVD hacks and now my player is multi region. As for the cables, yes they are a bit untidy but I got round that by inserting the cables into plastic cable tubing, it looks a lot tidier.Don't agree about the brackets being dangerous as when not in use you clip them off but they do make the screens a little closer than they need be and for this reason I only give it 4 stars.

Philips DCP850/05 8.5inch Portable DVD Player

Very disappointing. Had I paid full price I would have felt cheated. The picture quality is poor, the remote control is inaccessible and worst of all it has no memory so when you restart you have to go through the laborious process of selecting the relevant scene. I had the Shinco (10") which had an infinitely better quality picture but very few functions and an awkward shape. This is the second Philips portable DVD i have owned and they seemed to have failed to evolve. The battery life is lamentable and far shorter than advertised.

Having had the DVD Player for about a month I decided I needed to make it multi-region, to play other region discs I own.

This is the procedure I carried out and made my player region free:

1. Power on DVD without a disc in the player.
2. Press SETUP on the remote.
3. Press 'Right arrow' on the remote 3 times.
4. Press 9, 6, 5 & 3 on the remote.
5. Press up/down to change region of player. Set to 0 (Zero) for region-free.
6. Press SETUP to exit.

Job's a good un!

Sony DVPFX850B - 8inch LCD Portable DVD Player

We brought this product when it first came out and we did not realise that there is a design fault on it.

When you use this product and you keep lifting up the screen and putting it down, the screen will start to rub on the 'Push here to close button which is protruding over the unit ever so slightly. We took it back to a Sony recommended service agent and they mentioned someone else had brought in the same model with the same condition. They fitted a new screen and recommended us to place a layer of soft material in-between the screen and the unit, which for saying we brought this product for nearly £200.00 is appalling.

So save yourself a lot of money and head my warning, if it doesn't happen now to your screen it will. ... Read More:

Shinco SDP1720C - Multi-Region Portable 7inch DVD Player with Divx, MPEG4, TV Tuner Support, Card Reader and Travel Case

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Portable DVD Players
from: Shinco

I looked at all the reviews for this product, and decided to get it. I don't regret my decision as it was always going to be hooked up to my TV to watch international DVDs, that's it, but when I was trying it out I found that the DVD flap needs holding down otherwise it comes open. It doesn't bother me that much, I just put a book or a bit of tape on it as I'm not going to use it as a portable. But if you are, you might want to think about that.
Also when it starts up it makes a lot of noise, which is unexpected - I thought it was malfunctioning! But when it warms up and starts to play the DVD the system is very quiet. It looks nice, it has a good sized screen and other than the above, I can't find anything wrong with it. A good little player.

Philips PET706 7" Portable Widescreen DVD player

We purchased this DVD player to use in the car last March. It was so good we took it every time we went on a long journey until the inevitable happened - it was stolen from the car - so we have to buy another. No gripes with it at all and no hesitation about getting the same again especially as it has gone down £30 on Amazon in the last 10 months. It is a life saver for the kids on journeys in the car.

Orbit 9.2" Portable DVD Player with TV, Freeview, Game, USB

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Portable DVD Players
from: Allcam


Does just about everything you could expect. Digital TV reception okay with my own indoor aerial (Film 4 and BBC 3 a bit dodgy). There is supposed to be a wake up timer (also used for the recording function) but there doesn't seem to be a standby function so you can only power off using the mains switch! Leave it on and it will initiate recording at the set time. Unit can't be used as a Freeview box because the A/V output only works for DVD. Plugging in the mains adapter doesn't disable the battery so it will start charging as soon as the the power switch is turned off - not good for battery life.

Mustek DP77 Dual 7-inch Screen Portable DVD Player with Battery

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Portable DVD Players
from: Mustek


We purchased this just last week and are very pleased with sound, and quality of picture, also the leads just reach far enough for 7 seater cars so that you can have one screen between front seats for middle row viewing and one attached back or between middle row of seats for back row viewing.Without head phones on, us parents were able to enjoy conversation to each other whilst film in progress. Also we were pleased to see that there is an extra head phone socket on main player so 3 sets of head phones can be used, as we have 3 kids!bonus is that it can plug into your TV and be used as a portable DVD player, ideal for self catering hols.
