Yes it is a little noisy on start up,but it has a great picture quality.We feel this a good value for the money.Great battery lenght,battery is a bit bulky but it is still lightweight. Even my 6 year old can use it.Digital camera Review: Philips 8.5" Portable DVD Player

Item came quickly. Packaged well and has all components. Does have a lot of scratches on the cover but the inside looks great. 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.Digital camera Review: Philips DVD players King

I did hours of research within Philips brand to pick this one out and this portable Dvd player is super excellant and better version then many offered before and after it and does all the things that regular philips dvd player does.
My main concern in purchasing portable player was multiformat like Divx ,mp3 and region free dvds (that Sony doesn`t do though great player)so i took the bet and bought it and i am very happy with my choice of picking this one .You need remote to fast forward as on dvd player it`ll just give you option to skip chapters not fast forward scenes .Volume is excellant and most important thing to look in portable dvd players in BATTERY and it does have solid 5 hours that i tested and then my flight was over so not sure how much juice battery still had.
Cons
There is no carrying case with this player you need to buy one
It is white in color
Amazon doesn`t sell it so you have to go through third party that will not be quite good experience for many.Try Target mostly they still have it in stock ( i found out after buying on line )

Summary: 5 Stars
The unit is excellent, delivering the battery power rating as promised and has a gorgeous display and most importantly, plays DiVx discs flawlessly as promised. I love the "no dead Pixels" guarantee which is almost unheard of these days and is an excellent buy. Definitely better to stick with a "name brand" like Philips as I have had tried other cheaper units and they just never worked as advertised.
I did return the unit to Amazon though since they had no lower-price matching offer and ended up getting the unit from Office Depot which offerred 3-day delivery and had the unit for $50 less.

Nice player in some ways (long battery life and good picture quality), but it doesn't handle any of my DVD's which are copies. It only seems to be able to play store-bought DVD's. Also, it doesn't seem to be able to do forward or reverse scans without the remote control. Overall, I'm not very happy with it.
