Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but saying “portable” should mean that it can be used, say, while walking down the street — like the Walkmans from the 80s. But, here they are redefining “portable” as anything that you can plug it into your car adapter!! So, by Philips’s definition, then, EVERY ELECTRONIC IS PORTABLE — INCLUDING YOUR 42″ TV SCREEN AT HOME — because, well, you can plug it into your car adapter! This doesn’t make sense.

In short, this item is falsely advertised and the title of this item should be changed. This is really a miniature “two-in-one” (as in, has the screen and DVD together), but it is NOT portable.

We recently traveled 19 hours over two days with 2 kids under age 5. With the movies playing the kids stayed occupied and awake. They equipement was easy to hook up and use. We did not have any trouble with the movie skipping. A remote would have been helpful but overall it made our trip a lot easier.

We bought this DVD player for a 15-hour car ride (with 4 boys – ages 7, 4, 3 and 10 months, I might add) and were completely satisfied! We had no trouble with the sound quality and I don’t see what others mean by the second screen having a less-than-perfect picture, because we did not experience that at all. The unit was easy to install, it worked for us without fail – on BOTH legs of the drive – and kept my crew entertained during a long trip. Yes, the screens are lightweight, but I do not consider that a problem. For the price, I was amazed at the product. We bought a special dual screen DVD carrying case and have it safely packed away, awaiting our next trip!
