Sony Portable DVD System (MV65ST) (MV-65ST) Review

My family including three young children (9,6 & 4) just got back from a 2300 mile one week trip. I purchased this before I left and consider it the greatest investment I ever made. I placed on the center consol of my 1999 Tahoe. All three kids could see the picture clearly despited being seat belted in. The controls easy to use. You could even read captions. The only complaint was the wireless speakers that broadcast to the FM radio. There was so much interferance, that we used the built in speakers, but, the sound was good and it worked.

Sony's MV-65ST mobile DVD entertainment system offers DVD-R/-RW and MP3 CD playback alongside a choice of listening through stereo speakers or--if you want to listen to music while the kids enjoy a movie--dual headphone jacks (headphones not included). You can even listen through your vehicle's sound system using the MV-65ST's built in FM transmitter--just tune your radio to the appropriate frequency for instant audio. Apart from movies, this also lets you listen to your hours-long MP3 music compilations while you're on the road, even if your built-in stereo doesn't have so much as a cassette deck.The MV-65ST's lightweight design (about 5 pounds) makes it a welcome travel partner. Its 6.5-inch widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) active-matrix TFT LCD renders vivid, high-contrast images in terrific detail, with native pixel resolution of 1,200 x 234. The screen pivots and the image flips for maximal placement flexibility, assisted by the supplied mounting cables. Suspend it between seats, fix it behind seats, or secure it directly on a seat, as between two back-seat passengers.The MV-65ST includes standard audio and video outputs (composite-video, stereo analog RCA audio) for easy playback through compatible larger TVs, making it useful even when you're at home. A Toslink optical digital-audio output facilitates hookup with a full-featured audio/video receiver, passing Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround signals for enveloping sound through compatible multichannel speaker systems. (Home theater use aside, you can always set it in the kitchen to enjoy an old favorite while you prep dessert.) A compact remote control simplifies operation wherever you are.The unit also features stereo AV input terminals let you connect stereo gaming units, camcorders, and other devices, which can pass their signals through to the built-in speakers or the stereo headphone jacks. Relive the vacation through your camcorder footage while you're driving home. AC/DC and vehicle power adapters are both included.What's in the Box DVD module, a wireless card-style remote control (RM-X137), remote battery (CR2025 lithium), a carrying case, mounting straps (4), an AC/DC power adapter, a DC vehicle cigarette-lighter adapter, an FM transmission antenna, and a user's manual.

New Pair BLACK Headrest with 7" DVD USB SD VIDEO Monitors Wireless Game Car Package Review

New Pair BLACK Headrest with 7 DVD USB SD VIDEO Monitors Wireless Game Car Package
Average Reviews:

I purchased this through Amazon, but the sub-supplier handled complaints and return of the product. I am glad that I had Amazon backing up this purchase.
After reading several other reviews on this product, I was prepared for some of the issues. The biggest issue is the Chinese to English translation in the operations manual (not the installation). You need to sit down with a cup of coffee and read these directions first with the product in front of you. There is a Chinese website that is more useful than the instruction manual, or the supplier.If you have a 12 VDC power supply, it is worth it to sit down and figure out all the controls and make sure everything functions before you install these.
The adapter rods are of course too small in diameter for today's American Made vehicles. So I twice wrapped them top to bottom with black electrical tape. That seemed to make them snug enough to fit.
Hooking up the wiring was relatively easy. My problem came after I had installed them and after playing for 5 minutes, one of the LCD screens went totally blank. The supplier company required me to package everything back up and Fedex picked them up the next day. One week later, my returned package arrived at their business in New York. After a few phone calls, they then shipped a new set which arrived in three days. I tested the new headsets for an hour before installing them. I didn't want to have that problem again.
The game CD have nothing on them. they are blank. So I guess you have to go to their website, download the games compresed to your computer, open the games, then transfer them to the CD.
Make sure your headsets work. If you have 2 kids in the car and they are watching different DVDs, the sound is maddening. Remember the speakers are right behind your head times 2.
So far I am pleased with the equipment. I had three previous vehicles that came from the factory with entertainment systems and we liked them all. But with my latest car purchase, I didn't want to spend $1200 more for factory installed DVD systems, so I thought this was a good investment. If in the future these DVD players break, I can just re-install original headrest. At least for now the grandkids are occupied on long trips.
I rated this a '3' because the operating instructions are difficult to understand, and that I had to wait two more weeks for a good set to arrive. The supplier did handle the problem without question..they just wanted to confirm there was something wrong with them.

Works well. Only 2 minor issues: First is the buttons on the front of the player are not clear re: stop, play, ect. which in the dark while traveling is frustrating as you push in trial & error. The remote is direct line of sight only. The second is the wireless headsets. They have a button on each that scans 4 frequencies for the sound connection. It is very easy to push this button & lose the connection while simply putting the headsets on or if a child adjusts theirs without realizing it until you question why you can't hear the movie. You have to keep pushing the button til the sound comes back clear. Also there was interferace one time by a powerful radio station in the major town we were in. On the other hand, the volume control is not as easy to change, that's a good thing with kids, and can be set & left at an appropriate level.

Panasonic DVD-LX97 Portable DVD Player Review

Panasonic DVD-LX97 Portable DVD Player

We bought this specifically because it has a long battery life. We bought this (for our 2 year old) to take on an overseas (10 hour) flight home for Christmas. While the description says the battery lasts 10 hours, reading the manual you will see that it lasts 10 hours when the LCD screen is on (-5) (lowest), 7-8 hours on (0), and 5 hours on (+5) (brightest). We found that the 0 setting was plenty light for the plane rides, and we had no issues with battery length. We watched a total of 4 movies on the plane, and had no issue with the battery. We had the volume up (as our son is not fond of headphones)and we could hear clearly over all the noise on the plane. People were even asking us to turn the volume down! It was wonderful to keep us and our little one occupied on such a long flight! On the plane ride home, my husband and I watched a movie together with the headphones, thanks to the dual headphone jacks.
I LOVE that this DVD player comes with AC adapter, and we used this to watch a movie at the airport while waiting for our connection. We also used it to re-charge the battery to full while waiting for our connection. The power is dual voltage which makes it a plus if you are traveling or living overseas. You can play a movie right out of the box using the AC adapter.
The thing I like most is that no matter what angle you look at the screen, you can still see the picture clearly. Also the screen pivots, making for easy viewing at any angle. We used the cables to plug it into a TV and the picture/sound was great here as well. We also used it in the car, and the car adapter meant that we did not have to fuss with the battery. The screen is bright and big, and picture is clear and sharp.
I was hesitant to buy this product, because we have had a lot of trouble with our Panasonic DVD camcorder. This was the DVD player with the longest battery life I could find, and it is well worth the price. This product has gotten a lot of use in the last month, and no problems. I would recommend this to anyone! It is a great player and has exceeded my expectations. I am so happy with this purchase!

GPX BT780B 7 Inch LCD Portable TV/DVD/AM/FM Boombox Review

GPX BT780B 7 Inch LCD Portable TV/DVD/AM/FM Boombox

This unit has impressive audio for its price range and supports multiple audio formats. Unfortunately this unit will only play back DVDs in stretched wide-screen (16:9) format, meaning that if you want to watch DVDs recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio, you will have to put up with a world of elliptical circles and extra-wide people. I realize that some people are not as sensitive to this distortion as I am (art training will do that to you), but I had to return my BT780B because although the unit has a menu that offers 16:, 4:3PS (pan & scan) and 4:3LB (letter box), the selections have no effect on the display. I talked to GPX tech support about this, and they had no solution.
I had no problem with the small screen as my intended use was to sit it in front of me on the desk or table and watch instructional videos. The audio fidelity stereo imaging in this arrangement is excellent, unlike those fold-up DVD players with tiny underpowered speakers. The FM reception is quite good with a nice balance of selectivity and sensitivity for this price range, and it includes a mono option which is really necessary if you listen to distant FM transmitters where the hiss can ruin the stereo but the reception can be excellent on mono. I am in a fringe area for VHF TV reception but a couple local UHF stations came in clearly, even with the minimal antenna provided.
Since this small a screen will be watched at close reading distance, GPX would do well to upgrade the 7" screen resolution which is a bit grainy at watching distance, and of course fix the problem of not supporting 4:3 aspect ratio. Ideally, I would like the choice of watching 4:3 in either "pillarboxed" format or cropped top and bottom with a choice of scroll position, as different material benefits from different treatments. Meanwhile this is a good audio boombox with a 16:9 DVD capability only.

I just had these installed and I'm so happy with them. I wanted to install them myself but couldn't figure out how to get into my seats to pull the wires. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with cloth interior so no access panels. I don't have the problem with them fitting loose and making noises at all, as mentioned in a previous review. I do agree they seem a little big, but I've only had them installed about 1 week and I'm already used to their appearance. The notches in the posts aren't deep enough, so the headrest doesn't really lock into place, they slide up and down without having to press the release buttons (not really a big deal to me since they fit snug enough you still have to exert some force to move them). I had a little trouble figuring out how to turn on the IR for wireless headphone and the FM modulator option, but eventually got that problem solved with the help of Audiosavings (thanks for the help guys!). My kids 2-1/2 and 7-1/2 really like this system and I am so excited to not have the cords and wires draped around like i had with the strap on type dvd system I had before, (although they are much cheaper). The only thing I wish these had is a tilt screen which is an option in a different brand I was considering (Power Acoustik), but they cost almost twice as much as these. Not quite worth it to me. Overall I really don't think you can go wrong with these unless you have a very small car.
