Philips PET724 7-Inch Portable DVD / DivX Player
Good little player
This is my third DVD player w/DivX support.  I've got a full-sized Philips and also a Samsung, and now this.  This one is quickly becoming my favorite. So far it has played all of the DivX videos I've thrown at it as well as burnt DVDs.  It will play DivX vids that my Samsung won't.<br /><br />This unit is lightweight, easy to use, has an attractive design, and the buttons on the player itself are pretty simple.  I like that.  The screen image quality is MUCH richer than other portable DVD players w/DivX support that I've looked at.<br /><br />While it does offer longer battery life than some of it's competitors, I'd still wish I could get more than 4 hours out of it.  Fortunately, you can get the Energizer DVDmax aftermarket battery that will give you an additional 8 hours of power.  But at $70 for one of those, I found it price prohibitive.<br /><br />My only gripe is that the volume to the built-in speaker is kinda weak.  I haven't tried it w/headphones yet, but that is how I plan to use it most.  I read in other reviews that volume to both headphone jacks is weak too, particularly if you're on a noisy airplane.  So I bought a Boostaroo headphone volume booster which I plan to use to solve that problem. I have read that some other players still produce sound from the built-in speakers even when the headphones are plugged in, but that is NOT the case w/this unit. The built-in speakers become silent (like they should) when you plug in headphones.<br /><br />One annoying thing (but is my bad) is I often accidentally hold the remote upside down because it's shape is entirely symetrical.  I can't tell which way is \\"up\\" unless I stop and read which way the word \\"Philips\\" is written on the remote.  Also, the buttons on the remote are not real easy to read, particularly in dim light.  These are both REALLY minor complaints though.
