Philips Portable DVD Player PET-805
OK DVD player with some negatives to be aware of:
This is a good portable DVD player for the mony, but it does have some negative points that you should be aware of. It has good build quality that seems quite sturdy, unlike a lot of other portable DVD players out there. The video and audio quality is excellent. It plays all kinds of DVDs (including ones from other countries if you use the multi region code as described in other reviews).<br /><br />The only reason I'm not giving it a great rating is because there are some real negatives:<br /><br />-No AV inputs. You cannot connect your digital camera to display your photos, nor can you connect a video game system to this DVD player. Most all other brands do have this functionality, so Phillips needs to get with it.<br /><br />-I wish the battery didn't protrude out the back of the unit (it should be under the player instead).<br /><br />-No resume function. You will lose your place if you stop a DVD movie while watching it and turn the player off.<br /><br />-Very loud spinning noise. This player is annoying loud when spinning the DVD.<br /><br />This Phillips seems like a solid player that will last beyond what you would expect for the price, but you should be aware of the negatives. If you cannot get beyond these negatives, I would recommend going with a Toshiba which has all the features the Phillips is lacking, although is probably not quite as good in terms of display and build quality.
