Sony DVPFX720W -- 7" portable DVD player: FAB! June 21, 2008

I ordered this as a replacement as our previous Toshiba model failed within the 12 month warranty. Being competively priced on Amazon, this Sony model is a wee beauty. Build quality is second to none as you would expect from Sony. The 5 hour battery fits neatly underneath the unit base [unlike other DVD players] and will keep our kids entertained on car or long haul flights. Picture quality is great in all directions, although the speakers are a bit weak on output. Overall, a great portable DVD player.

after researching a few dvd players i found this one, read the reviews and decided to buy it. i was not dissapointed, the screen size and picture quality are excellent and the sound is great too.
Also the 5hr battery life is perfect as you can get a couple of films out of it, especially as i will be using it to keep the kids occupied on a 4 hour flight. I didnt realise that the outer casing was a shiny gloss white but i thought it looked really stylish and i liked the look of the whiite.

I bought this to entertain two children on a four hour flight and it was spot on. Of course, the built in speaker is no competition to the noise of an aircraft but the two headphone sockets meant that that was no real problem.
I also used this as a standard DVD player while on holiday and plugged it straight into a 37inch widescreen TV with the supplied leads. The picture / sound quality was superb especially as I was mostly playing .avi files through it. The battery life exceeded the stated maximum when used in this way as the player's own screen was switched off.
I've successfully played +R and -R DVD disks with ISO files and AVIs, standard DVD movies and MP3's on disk. I also plugged my camera's memory stick into the USB port via a USB card reader. The access time between photos was a little slow (couple of seconds) and it couldn't play the movies from my Sony camera but the photo display was excellent.
I looked a few other players (both cheaper and more expensive) before settling on the Sony and after a couple of weeks of using it I'm glad I went for this one.

I am just about to head off on a long haul flight and needed something to keep the kids quiet (air canada don't do individual screens). Had looked in the high street but couldn't find anything with a decent battery life for under 100. Then came across this one on amazon for 40 less than what the high street are selling it at. Paid for first class delivery at 4pm and got it the next day (didn't want to risk not having it in time for the hols!)
The build quality is top drawer, image nice (7" size not too hard to view) and sound good through headphones. The biggest draw for me is the 5 hour battery life and the external rechargeable battery neatly fits on to the bottom of the machine.
Only potential fault is the ipod white finish is likely to scratch but this would show up more if it was black.
All in all I am chuffed to bits with it - and the kids like it too. Just wish I could afford to buy two to take with me!
A great buy at a great price May 31, 2008

This Sony replaces my 7" Phillips portable.
Used primarily by my children and also on flights & holidays, 2 key areas of importance for me are battery life and durability. The Sony ticks both boxes giving a true 5-hour battery life and a sturdy well put together frame made from quality material.
I found the image quite detailed, clear and easy to view, sound quality good for the size of the unit and included all the features you would expect on a DVD player
Compared to my old unit and other units I looked at, in today's market, even when put against some much more expensive units the Sony still won the day.
I'm Sure there are some better units out there but I could not find one at this price point.
The unit also features audio & composite video INPUT as well as OUTPUT, 2 x headphone sockets, USB input for memory sticks and card readers as well as a hold button to disable the unit's controls if required. The screen also opens fully flat to the unit (180 deg not 360deg). There is however no S-video or component out/inputs.
The thin battery attaches secularly to the bottom of the unit creating a well-proportioned player that does not feel particularly bulky. Charge time from flat can be up to 5 hours with a battery indicator function to tell you how much charge is left.
The unit comes with a remote control & a car battery adaptor that plugs in to the cigarette lighter socket.
As for formats it will play DVD DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R, VIDEO CD/MUSIC CD CD-RW/-R, DivX, MP3 and JPEG
After extended use I am very pleased with the unit and would happily recommend it as a cost effective 7" portable DVD player
