3.0 out of 5 stars Cables, cables, and a missing hole... 3 July 2009
By Anorak Smith
First off, Phillips screens are great quality as you'd expect from a 'name' brand. Thing is, I really want the wireless set-up they've shown on the box as that looks fantastic, in reality what you get is a maze of cables as mentioned previously.

Also, there's a design flaw with the 'pouch' which holds the player, the holes in the pouch (or the inputs on the player) are just in the wrong place. With the player in place as per instructions, with the inputs on the left, the hole on the right of the pouch enables access to the 'open' button which is frankly pointless as you can't open the player in the pouch. The on/off switch which is obviously necessary for the operation of the device is inaccessible at the top of the player. Maybe I've got a duff pouch, but I'd expect this to have been spotted by Phillips and sorted.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Product - messy wiring 12 Jun 2009
By Mr. Jonathan Bradley
Bought this DVD player to use mainly in the car because I liked the separate twin screens and the extra flexibility they gave. Image quality is as good as would be expected on this kind of device (decent but it won't blow you away!). Sound is punchy once you stick it through the car stereo but even on the internal speakers it's not bad. Price was good.

My only gripe is the cabling. To connect the player to the two screens and the power means it's a real web of wires. I suppose if I properly set it all up at the beginning of a journey I could tuck things away but there's still more cables trailing around than with a more standard portably DVD player.

However, I think the plusses outweigh that minus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quiet kids, happy journey! 7 Jun 2009
By Sarah A
We bought this for our holiday and boy, we're glad we did. 4 hours of total bliss for the boys in the back.

A couple of downers though. There are lots of leads and this can look messy - we used cable tidies and this did help. Another is that once the player is all strapped you cannot change the dvd unless you undo the whole thing. Also it is very hard to find the on/off button when it is in the case.

Overall though, we would thoroughly recommend it.
