Digital camera reviews of Philips PET824 8.5-Inch Portable DVD / DivX Player
Digital camera Review: Love It !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Phillips PET 824 last weekend in preparation for a trip to Hawaii and a 9 hour plane ride, and love it. I've never purchased a Philips product before and wasn't sure what to expect but I'm very happy now! I'm visually oriented and the picture is very nice, but what really surprised me was the quality of the sound available through the special noise-reduction earphones. You can practically 'feel' the really deep rumbling sounds from movies like 'War of the World.' The battery life also shocked and pleased me. I wanted to see if it would actually last the 6 hours advertised, so I watched one movie, put in another movie and fell asleep for 4-5 hours. When I woke, I put in another movie and didn't loose a beat. Although the player generates some heat when played for several hours, it's no problem. I'm now searching for an additional rechargeable battery as I plan to keep and enjoy the unit for some time to come.Digital camera Review: Loved it but....
Summary: 4 Stars
I really loved this player however it doesnt play while charging, which isnt a great concern since it has a long battery durability, headphones are not included, not a great concern again since it has the jacks and you can purchase that, what bothered me the most is that IT DOESNT HAVE SKIP PROTECTION!!Digital camera Review: Massive Battery Life
Summary: 4 Stars
Truly a great product, can be made multi region, is multi voltage, battery lasts 6+ hours (even on a plane), speakers OK.
Only downside is the lack of ability to reverse the screen so as to deny little fingers from presing buttons when the dvd is playing.
This was bought for use on long trips with young children..I am now a little too familiar with the jungle book
Digital camera Review: Nice unit, but very noisey
Summary: 3 Stars
I like this unit. Everything works like it should. My only complaint is that the unit is very noisey on the DVD motor. Spin up and Spin down is much louder than I've ever heard from any DVD player. Once its up to speed, its not nearly as loud, but louder than any other unit I've heard.Digital camera Review: Noisey
Summary: 1 Stars
This thing sounds like an airplane taking off as the disk spins. Also, the speakers are mounted along the front, not up by the screen as other (better designed) players have. Even though it's a hassle, I'm sending this back.
