Philips PET824 8.5-Inch Portable DVD / DivX Player Reviews
It also takes forever to recognize DVDs and start playing. Main gripe is it's extremely loud motor. Overall decent, nothing exceptional to brag about. Have only had 2 weeks, will see what else comes up.
Great quality, doesn't skip when used in the car. Would recommend it. Great resolution, has been a life saver when traveling with the kids.
Long battery life. This portable dvd player is everything I expected and more. Decent display, not as great as i had hoped though. Whirring sound when disk is loading, but stops when it s playing. Plays many different video and audio files.
It s very tempting to stop the disk before it stops spinning but I suggest you don t, I think it messes up the player. This is my second portable dvd player, my first was an akai 7" which lasted about a year then suddenly stopped working. Great sound with headphones, below-average sound without. Includes case. Beautiful looks.
No fast-forward and rewind buttons on the player, but on the remote. The included headphones were surprisingly amazing quality. Worth what you pay. Flimsy disk drawer. Nice remote, with many features.
I've had it for at least a year and haven t experienced any major problems yet. The main feature I was looking for was a multi-regional player which this wasn't but the region-free hack from a previous review fixed that problem and now I can watch all regions of dvd. It s definitely a great idea to buy a big-brand portable dvd player (eg sony, philips, samsung etc) rather than a random low budget brand - it's worth the cost. PROS:. CONS:.
Fairly scratch-sensitive, unlike some other portable dvd players.
Item came quickly. Packaged well and has all components. The picture is great but as other people have reviewed on amazon about this item, it is loud when you turn it on and while the dvd gets ready to play and while it's turning off. Does have a lot of scratches on the cover but the inside looks great.
Be careful as most players will not recognise mp3's on a DVD only on CD so check before you buy. Yes it is a little noisy at startup but this is because it is reading COMPRESSED files (DivX format and Mpeg4) and is normal and goes away once the movie starts. The sound also seems fine to me. Another excellent point is that it will play all my music files (mp3) on a DVD. I now have around 100 of my CD's in mp3 format and record them onto a single DVD so i never have to change the disc on a drive from East coast to West coast.(I work all over USA). I wouldnt buy anything different for my DivX movies.
I then plug the DVD player into my truck sound system and use the remote to change tracks etc. Great buy. I get 6 movies (DivX) on a standard DVD so this is why i choose this player. This is GREAT DivX player. I had not realised this before. Phillips seem to be the best at this.
The battery life is AMAZING and the screen is great. It is also easy to unlock to region-free as i watch a lot of UK movies.
