Amazing value!
With the prospect of a 9-hour flight to Florida on my own with two little ones under age 3, I thought that it would be a good idea to invest in a personal DVD-player for my 2 year old to watch her favourite movies. I searched the whole of Amazon reading the reviews and decided to go for this one as it came so highly recommended by many reviewers. When I got it today, I was not disappointed. The DVD player has a sleek white case akin to the Apple ibook. It is very compact and the weight is good for the size.

When I switched it on, it played the DVD immediately and the sound quality was good. I used a music video to test the sound. The picture is not crystal clear and you can see the lines across the screen but for the price, it is good quality. I then used the instructions from a kind Amazon reviewer to change the player to Multi-region. It took only a minute to do and it played the NTSC DVD no problem. The unit has a very slimline remote control too. The whole player is very user friendly.

My 2 year old is in love with it and Teletubbies looks good on the screen. The only disadvantages I have noticed so far are: 1. the unit is rather noisy when the disc is spinning but should be fine for the viewer wearing headphones; 2. the battery is not built-in so looks like a small docking station; 3. it is a little heavy.

Overall disappointing.
I bought this after reading many good reviews, and to be fair to Philips, for the price of the unit the screen quality is excellent, the battery life very good and the device itself feels well made. My gripe with the PET 720/05 is the noise made when the DVD is spinning, although not overly noticeable over the sound of what you are watching, the person sitting next to you is going to suffer. In addition the sound quality form the built in speakers is poor. For around £100 you don't expect top quality components, but with half decent speakers and quieter disk spinning mechanism this would be a five start product.

Amazon accepted the returned player and give me a full refund and although I did have to ask to be reimbursed for the postage costs I incurred, they paid up and 'm very happy with their service.

I've just taken delivery of a Toshiba SDP1707 which has so far ticked all the boxes and looking like a better bet for the same money.

Awesome
This is a really beautiful little player and the hack is really easy to use and effective. Playback is good quality with great sound and picture. Its small but very easy to travel with for this reason. Perfect if you are looking for a multi-region travel player.
