Magnavox MPD700 7-Inch Portable DVD Player
Good - but I miss the S-video output
I have the MPD-720.  The big differences I see between this one and the MPD-700 before is that Magnavox deleted the S-video and optical output jacks, and combined the audio and composite video outputs into one output jack (the cable is included).  I'm bummed about the missing S-video as you really can see a difference in picture quality on your TV when a DVD player is hooked up with an S-video input versus a composite input.  Oddly enough, the unit includes a coaxial digital output for digital sound processing into a home theater system, but the manual doesn't tell you how to use it - and I doubt that most people who buy this player will use it.  However, the suggested retail price dropped from $399 (for the MPD-700) to $279 for the MPD-720.<BR>     For a player in this price range, I thought the picture and physical build quality was a bit above the average.  I'm using this DVD player in my car to entertain my 18 month old.  It comes with a car bag to mount to the back of your seat, as well as a car power adapter.  The mechanical operation of the player is a bit noisy, but I really don't notice it that much in use.  It also comes with an AC power adaptor, two headphone jacks - but no headphones are included.  The speakers on the unit sound tinny but are acceptable.  For better sound in my car, I use one of the headphone jacks to output the sound thru my car stereo via a separate cassette adapter I bought.<BR>     For the price, this a good player - especially for my intended use.  However, if you want an even better picture quality and better options to hook it up to a home theater system or large TV - you'll probably have to look at other players and most likely pay much more.
