Panasonic DVD-LV70 Portable DVD Player
Saved my sanity on a long trip with the kids!!
This DVD player is THE BEST!!  I bought this DVD player after researching all the info I could get my hands on about all brands and sizes of players.  I love the one I chose!!!    This player lasted through a long car trip (and even down the gravel road to my house) with never once a skip or a problem. I bought a plug-in that goes in the cigarette lighter that I used when the battery ran out.  But actually I didn't have to use it much!  I also bought a three way headphone splitter so all three of my children could watch from the back seat at once -- and I listened to the radio instead!!! It was heavenly. I would also recommend buying a carrying case that holds the player securely in the car.  <BR>Just one note on the sound -- on the freeway the hum of the tires was too loud for my children to hear the sound without headphones.   But sound through headphones is amazing!!!! At home we use it without headphones and don't have any problem hearing!!!  The picture is great, also. Not a single problem with the clearness and crispness of it!  The screen is just the right size, and you soon get so immersed in the movie that you don't even notice it's on a smaller screen!!!!  I have a four-door car, but this would work great in a mini-van. The back seat would not have a problem watching the movie -- but you'd have to pipe the sound through the car stereo system so everyone could hear well!!!<BR>Also be informed that this DVD player can't get too hot or too cold, so plan on carrying it with you when you go places -- as it probably should not sit in a parked car in extreme weather!<BR>Love this DVD player!!!
