NOTE: The weight that is shown on Sony's description seems very off. They show it as 18 pounds but it is nowhere near that - maybe 3 pounds, if that. . Our old portable dvd player (with a screen) died after many years of service. We get dvd's from N...x so we needed to replace the player fairly quickly. Our requirements were pretty simple - connect using AV cables (red, white, yellow) to our really old small Sharp Aquos, didn't have to be BluRay since we use standard dvd's, not too expensive, HAD TO READ DOLBY discs and works easily. At first we thought we needed to get a player with a screen, but after consideration realized we actually didn't need that feature since we only watch at home. I did a lot of research and the choices were somewhat limited. Still, there were enough to make choosing one a bit difficult. Finally we opted for this one. It came yesterday - ironically the same day we got our new N...x dvd. Opened the box, took the player out and connected it 1-2-3 to the tv using the av cable supplied and the plug (which is permanently attached to the player) into the wall outlet Put the new disc into the player, batteries (included) into the remote, set the input on my tv and powered it on. There was a brief setup guide and we were ready to watch. I must say just from this one movie - this little player is great. Everything worked smoothly and I really got a kick from the remote opening and closing the eject at a touch. I did have to fiddle with the aspect ratio on the tv which took 3 seconds. Pausing and restarting is easy - everything was easy. The size of the player is pretty small which for me is good because of limited counter space (we have the tv in the kitchen) The only drawback in my case is that there is actually no room for the player to stay on the counter all the time, so after use I have to unplug it and move it to another area. This is just my problem and isn't a negative about the player in any way. It would have been great if there was a case included but I suspect that most people are able to connect it to the tv and leave it. So the bottom line, after this one use, is that we really like this player and we're very happy with our choice. Time will tell whether we feel the same at a later date. But I'm hopeful that we will.

I typed in ship to my daughter and you are sending to my ex. She hates my daughter. I've been trying to get along but if she sees Suzanne Kash on here she will never speak to me again. I'm trying to get along with her. Get it stopped. Hasn't been long enough for ie to be shipped!,!!!!

I have used your product and find it to be better than good but not excellent. Lets say 4.5 Stars. I like the picture it gives me on my T.V. I also like the Sony Product itself. I have had no problems with this product as of yet and if I do I know Sony will stand behind their product.

Purchased this player as our combo player VCR/DVD player wasn't working...the DVD part that is. So far so good as this player gets used EVERY day for workout DVDs! I did look at the reviews and that is what assisted me in narrowing down to this model. It's slim enough to sit in the rack where the old unit still sits just in case we want to watch an old VHS tape. We will have to switch out the cords from the DVD player to the combo unit on those RARE occasions, but that is totally fine with me.

So far it keeps skipping, 2nd time using it :(

Lightweight and easy to set up. Works great.

small and sleak does not take up too much room

Good Product. Great Price

Only ran well for 15 hours or so and then began scratching the dvd. An absolute piece of crap.

This product didn't work at all
