Sony 8 Inch Portable DVD Player Review

Overall I am satisfied with this Sony DVD player. It looks well made and plays well. In comparison, the price is reasonable. My personal dissatisfaction with this device includes the following: Initially the screen is mirrored. This is easily remedied by the ease with which you can reposition the screen, but as a result of this problem you will find that you can the screen reposition as often as you move to feel comfortable viewing the 8-inch screen. Second, the volume/speaker doesn't increase the audio to a level that I find acceptable. As a result, sometimes you have to rewind to find missing audio bits. Finally, all of the function buttons (play, stop, rewind, ff, pause, etc.) are located just below the screen itself, and these buttons are unusually small. Therefore, it is necessary that the room is lit to see the functions of the buttons (I have a small flashlight near the bed) and to use them (it is inconvenient to press a function due to the small size of the button) . ). Other portables I've used in the past have had these function keys on the bottom half, near the DVD. I find this to be a much better plan as the screen offers enough light to control the various functions and the buttons are larger as there is more space for them. Despite these personal inconveniences, this is a well-made player and, at a fair price, I recommend it. I've reviewed and used many wearables and this is the third of my top three favorites. And since a device I liked is no longer available, it actually takes second place now :) The device that takes first place doesn't have a multi-speed rewind function (only rewinds frame by frame). This is a feature that I feel is necessary for personal viewing pleasure, which is why I chose this Sony player as my first choice! Hope this is helpful.
