Great Little Player - Slight Problem With Top of Screen

bynbr_uk Dec 15, 2003
Pros Rotating Screen, In-car Adapter Included, Can Configure to Multi-region
Cons Slight skewing of Picture on Top in 'full screen' mode. Slight problem with in-car adapter
Recommended it? Yes
This unit is very good quality and a reasonable price. The rotating screen is it's best feature, which allow you much more flexibility in viewing. Picture quality is good with a decent enough field of vision to allow 2 people to get a good view. Sound quality is quite poor through the speakers (which seems normal for portable dvd players), but has real depth of sound when you listen through headphones.
I found a slight problem with the in-car adapter which seems to fall out of the a/c socket quite easily.
I had the same problem as mentioned by a previous reviewer. There is an annoying skewing of the picture to the left at about the 1/8th of an inch at the top of the screen. Fine for 2.35:1 ratio but really shows up on 1.65:1 films (in full screen mode). It comes and goes, so I am not sure what the problem is.
