1 out of 5 stars Worked only Once   November 6, 2008
A. Hodgman (USA)
We bought this DVD player for a car trip, and it worked great the first trip back in March. We've always been very careful with it, and have kept it in a very nice case. When we got it out to take on the 2nd trip, I didn't even try it, but once we got going, it didn't work. The disc won't spin at all. I was on hold with customer support for 45 minutes, but they are finally sending out a new comparable replacement model. Hopefully that one will work at least one more time than this one did.


2 out of 5 stars Worked for 6 months then it stopped working   August 11, 2008

We purchased this product at Target receiving good reviews from their website. It worked well for 5 1/2 months but recently we were receiving NO disc error's we cleaned the eye with electronic cleaner per Phillips website but still will not work. When putting the DVD in it reads no disc and sounds like it will play the dvd but then stops with error message. Do not make the same mistake we did by purchasing this player.


2 out of 5 stars Very unhappy with this DVD player   March 10, 2008

This is the 4th portable DVD player we have owned and by far the worst! We previously had another Philips single DVD player that was great, but it was stolen so we got this one instead. SAVE YOUR $$$. Half the time it doesn't play the DVD at all.


1 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE! DO NOT BUY!!!   February 3, 2008

My wife and I bought this from Target in anticipation of a long road trip with the kids. Having read horror stories about portable DVD players, I took it out of the box right away and tested it. Everything ran fine. Right as we were leaving, I installed the player in the car and it instantly would find any disc I would insert. We delayed our trip departure for 45 minutes to exchange it at Target for a working unit, which ran fine the entire 4 hours of the trip. Then, two days later, it froze in the middle of a DVD. Upon restart, every DVD gave the same "No Disc" error after spinning for about 3 minutes. The Philips support site seems to recognize that there is an issue, but then insults you by suggesting that everything has to do with the laser lens not being clean. I am returning it to Target again today and will not be re-purchasing.


1 out of 5 stars Did not fit our car's head restraints   July 11, 2007

We purchased this at Target prior to reading any reviews. To our dismay, the head restraint mounts are more suited for a 1978 Nova (no offense to Nova owners :)). We considered using Velcro straps or longer screws to mount the unit in our Volvo, but decided it wasn't worth the risk of it flopping around.

We called Phillips customer support, and they were no help. They acted like we were the first people to call and inquire if they had a different mounting system.

I'm sure it's a nice dvd player, but we just can't get past the fact that we can't use it in our car as advertised or as we intended. We're going to return the unit. Unless your head restraints are adjustable with posts between the seatback and the top portion, keep shopping.
