Panasonic DVD-LV70 Portable DVD Player
Great Player
I read alot of reviews about portable DVD players when making my purchase, I also don't usually add reviews for products.  However I am so satified with my portable DVD player purchase I had to share.  After my research I was able to narrow it down to 2 different units, the Audiovox 1680 and the Panasonic dvd-lv70.  I downloaded each user manual, read reviews and both sounded great.  I saw my brother-in-law's Audiovox 5 inch DVD player and thought the picture was OK, but not great.  So I decided to spend the extra dollars on the panasonic.  I am very impressed.  It is a great player. It can also do all different types of diplays when connected to a TV (which one review I read said it couldn't...it can).  I prefer widescreen/letterbox on my 4:3 TV which it does and it switches diplay types easily.  The unit has an awesome 16:9 screen which is visible from a very wide angle but even better, the unit has a true 5 hour battery.  It ran all day in the car.  We can easily do 3 short videos and then a full movie with power to spare.  We had no issues being able to hear it in the car.  It played all of our DVD's and only skipped twice on a 1500 mile road trip. If you don't have a case suitable for carrying 5 or 6 DVD's and the player, I would buy one when you purchase the unit...it makes it much more ergonomic...I used my video camera bag, which worked well.<br />Pros:<BR>Great screen<BR>True 5 hour battery<BR>Good features/function<BR>Small size<BR>RCA TV cables included<br />Cons:<BR>No remote controlled volume.<BR>Doesn't come with a car power adapter
