4 out of 5 stars Great!   December 31, 2008
I really am happy with this item. I use it for train rides and so far it has worked great. It's very compact so it's not too much added bulk when travelling.


2 out of 5 stars freezing up   November 28, 2008

Philips PET702 7-Inch Portable DVD Player

Was working great. Short battery life and started freezing up after 6 months of use. Tried cleaning dvd but that freezes up too. Paid $50 for it from amazon and having difficulty getting anyone to care that it lasted me only 6 months.



2 out of 5 stars Nice Item Except For Serious Bug   November 26, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Although this portable DVD player is a very nice item for the price, as mentioned in other reviews it suffers from a serious bug -- it can display widescreen 16:9 video but it will not crop the display on the sides to properly show 4:3 video, instead stretching it horizontally to fit and distorting the picture.

This is NOT just a problem with old TV shows, it distorts the video on every anime DVD I've tried on it, as well as a number of other DVDs that weren't shot in a widescreen format. Some modern TV shows do seem to have widescreen options and will work.

I contacted Philips support in hopes they knew about the problem and had a fix, but all I got was a blank response. So if all you ever watch is modern movies, this thing works fine -- but anything else, you're taking your chances. I've had a number of DVD players but this is the first one I've run across with such a problem.



1 out of 5 stars Two in a row have died prematurely.   November 18, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I wish that I could assign this product 0 stars.

Picture quality was good. Controls easy. Wished that there were better sound range, as different disks seem to have different volumes and this player couldn't compensate. It was often difficult to hear over average car noises. But, all of these observations are irrelevant when compared to the mechanical problems.

Purchased this model in April with a one year warranty. In June, some occasional problems, but we attributed them to worn or smudged disks. In July it began skipping and stopping continuously. Tried disk cleaners, DVD cleaners, to no avail. Closer examination revealed that it was the spindle.

Returned to Philips who replaced it...with a reconditioned model with a 3 month warranty. I was suspicious when I received it, but reasoned that a reconditioned model should work. Unfortunately, it has died (pixelated screen) at just 3 months. I've been shorted 6 months off of my original warranty and Philips is not sympathetic.

Next stop, Better Business Bureau or other agency.

I will not again purchase a Philips product.



3 out of 5 stars Turn up the volume   November 1, 2008
I bought this for my employees to watch training videos. It works well but the volume never gets loud enough to hear in the workplace. Headphones are usually used to help out in this situation. Easy to use and a good picture.
