Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony DVP-FX950 9-Inch Portable DVD Player
Customer Review: Excellent, Long Battery Life, Great Sound, & Complete Kit
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent travel companion. It has a great swivel screen that can rotate and tilt, or even fold back as a tablet. It comes with everything you need (except a case to hold everything), such as AC adapter, car adapter, AV cable to connect to a TV, remote, and batteries. The screen quality is great. The sound quality is perfect with no hissing or problems of any kind. There are 2 headphone ports so two people can listen without bothering everyone else (and uses less battery than the built-in speakers). The batter life is excellent. It also holds its charge for a long time between charges if you haven't used it in a while. The touch controls are responsive and the remote control works as well as your normal DVD player remote. It remembers where you left off too when turned off, unless you remove the disc.
My wife and I recently took this on a trip with us and used it to plug in to the TV in our hotel room and absolutely loved it. We brought along some TV seasons and movies. Too often when traveling we were at the mercy of what was on TV in the area and at the time we turned it on, had to watch commercials, and really missed our DVR. This was great to watch TV on our own terms while traveling. I had no problem plugging it in using the AV connection cable provided and remote to watch.
I have only two minor complaints. First, it only remembers where you left off for one disc and only while the disc is still in. If you remove the disc and reinsert it, it will lose its place. Compared to my normal Sony DVD player which remembers the last 5 discs inserted in case you swap between a TV series and a movie, or if you take the disc out to put everything away like me, then you have to remember where you left off. I wish it would remember at least the last disc if you were to reinsert the same disc again. Second, it doesn't realize the AV cable plugged into the audio out port and audio through the built-in speakers as well as the TV. You just need to turn the volume down to off on the DVD player to remedy that. You can also plug the AV audio cable into the headphone port as an alternative, but you could end up with some amplification or quality loss by being controlled by both volumes, but you probably wouldn't even notice.
The battery ran for a long time for us. We kept it charged over night because we never knew if the next time we would be by an outlet or for how long. But we always seemed to have a lot of battery life. We did use it for several evenings connected to a TV without a power outlet accessible. Without the LCD or built-in speakers running, it probably runs longer. We have used it during a power outage for its LCD screen before too, which worked fine. But it is never the same as our 52" TV screen.
We absolutely love this. The only thing I would change is having it remember where it left off beyond removing the current disc.
