Magnavox MPD820 8-Inch Portable DVD Player
Mostly dead on arrival
I've had the MPD820/17 for a few hours now.  Out of 10 commercial widescreen DVD's I have tested on it, it refuses to play 7.  The other 3 play just fine.  This makes me think the firmware needs to be updated, but I have not been able to find any way to do this myself.  It will play NONE of the DVD+R disks I have burned myself on a DVD recorder.  I will be very happy with this machine if Philips customer support can solve the playback problem, but I am not optimistic.
