Pioneer PDV-LC20 Portable DVD Player
Beautifully made, and Upgradeable!
Pioneer PDV-LC20 is a very well-made machine.  It can play both factory-stamped and recordable DVD's.  Same for audio compact disks.  Extensive research has revealed that it can also be upgraded (for a reasonable fee by reputable non-factory service centers) to be multi-region and VCR Friendly.  This is great for people who obtain DVD's from all regions of the world and need to connect the PDV-LC20 through the VCR because there is only one A/V input set (or only an RF connection) on the TV/monitor.  The PDV-LC20 has a great picture, great lithium-ion battery pack, and two headphone jacks (great for sharing with a companion during airline flights).  The overall quality, workmanship, and upgradeability make the PDV-LC20 a great value.
