Product Description
Double your movies on the road with two DVD players.
Play your movies and music in the car! The Philips PD7042 features two 7"/18 cm DVD players to let passengers indulge in enjoying their own DVD movies, music and photos on the road. With a 2-hr built-in battery, you can enjoy movies anywhere.
18 cm/7" TFT colour LCD (16:9)
The colour LCD display brings images to life, showing off your treasured photos, favourite movies and music with the same 'real life' rich detail and vibrant colours as high quality prints. The 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio is standard for universal to high-definition digital television.
Smart Car Mount
To enjoy entertainment on the go, why not bring your portable DVD player from home on the road with you? A unique Car Mount system ensures ease-of-use, with a quickrelease arm that facilitates easy removal of the player when not in use. You can bring the portable DVD player with you, leaving just the Mount behind in the car.
Watch movies separately
The in-car dual player design lets you watch movies individually on each portable DVD player. Alternatively, you can connect them together and, with the single touch of the signal switch button, passengers in both the front and back seats can watch one movie playing simultaneously on both DVD players.

Keen to purchase a twin DVD player I toyed with the idea of buying any twin screened player on the market from £80 up to £200. In my haste I assumed all players on such a small screen would emit around the same quality in both sound and vision, after all what else would you want it to do other than amuse the kids on a car journey? However, what I soon realised was what this model does which the others don't - allowing you the option to watch DVD's independently or else the same film on both screens! Not only this but each unit is a stand alone player in it's own right - each having a built in battery thus allowing the kids to take the player from the car and watch it in the hotel room/plane/boat etc without the need for a mains charge or any connecting leads necessary from yet another unit (like some other models..). Image looks awesome and the car-fit kit (included + travel bag) is easy & quick to fit and totally unobtrusive compared to the straps etc of other makes. The DVD is top loading meaning a DVD change takes place without removal of the whole unit (again unlike other models) and the sound is balanced and impressive. The screen control is a light touch up/down/L/R button on the front which is makes navigation easy - especially for little hands! All leads come with the product - inc output leads to display onto a TV - the only down side being a lack of a remote control, but this in itself does not distract from what is an excellent piece of kit!

Bought this set to replace my old Philips DVD and am very pleased. Yes they do stick out too far but that would be my only complaint. I knew from my previous set how they fixed to the car so I was not disappointed. They work great, are easy to use and the best bit is that if you turn the ignition off for a few minutes (or longer) they can continue to play on the battery packs which are charged whilst driving. Also can be removed and used stand alone which can prove very useful. You can load them up with two different dvds and link the screens together, then simply switch the two screens from dvd to av and you can watch the second dvd.

Bought this Philips DVD system this afternoon and returned it this evening.
I bought this on the basis of the photo showing the two screens neatly tucked on to the back of the headrests. In reality, there's a clip that fits around the headrest posts, with a chunky clip that connects to it, and an arm which connects this to the back of the DVD player. In all, this protrudes by about 5 inches from the back of the headrest - nothing at all like the flush mounted screens on the picture. We tried it on a Ford Mondeo and a Citroën C8 and it was equally obtrusive on both. I'm almost certain that the picture has been photoshopped as there's no way on this earth it would fit on any car the way it's shown in the photo. It might not sound like a huge problem, but I bought this (as many people do) for young kids. It sticks out in mid-air in the back of the car and would get bumped every time someone got in or out the car, it would be far too close to their eyes for comfortable viewing and there would be wires hanging everywhere.
The previous reviewer says that it is top-loading, which is perhaps slightly misleading as I thought he meant there was a slot you put the disc in - instead the front of the screen opens forwards and downwards from the top, and only by about 30 degrees, so it's actually really difficult to load and unload while it's fixed to the car, and would probably result in scratched discs. Another design fault is that most of the buttons are on the right hand side, and NO remotes are provided, so it might be awkward to control.
On the plus side, the units themselves look really smart and the carry bag is decent quality (although not suitable for purpose as you'd have to remove the ridiculously long arms which stick off the back once assembled). The pull-out frame stands are good if you want to stand it on a desk, and you do get all the cables and bits required in the box.
Philips are selling this as a twin set - in actual fact, it's just 2 individual players with an input/output cable to copy content from one to another, and a joined up dual car charger. Save your money and buy a pair of players with proper headrest mounting straps that won't protrude halfway into the back of the car. An utterly rubbish purchase.
