GREAT after 3 years of continious use!

We bought this DVD player 3 years ago and it sits in my daughters room running 24hrs a day. If we're travelling somewhere it comes along and runs. We flew to Australia last year and we didn't have a problem. It even works with all zone and PAL/NTSC....

No frills, no thrills little workhorse

It takes a lot to keep my mind on exercise, and so I decided to invest in the Philips PET710 in hopes of finding some way to distract myself as I walked on my treadmill. Over all, I'd say it's been a good choice. The screen is just wide enough for me...

Terrible, Do Not Purchase or You'll Regret IT

This is now my 3rd Phillips, Portable DVD Player in about 2 years. For some reason they have all either just stopped spinning or rufuse to power up at all (the last two). I purchased all of them at Walmart, for around $150. While the screen is nice...

Unless You Want to Waste Your Time & Money, Go On to the Next One

Bought the player as my first DVD portable player. Intermittent clacking noises occurred which I was initially concerned about but they came and went. They then got more pronounced. Once they became regular and ongoing, I called Philips to see if ...
