Sony DVP-FX720

 

The DVP-FX720 is the latest portable DVD offering from Sony, and has a good range of input and output options at a very competitive price. Though it d...

Good price, multiple audio-out options, USB input

Inbuilt speakers sound dull

A competent, well-priced mid-range player with a simple interface and good screen, hampered by poor speakers.

The FX720 has its limitations, but for the price, it does what it is designed to do well enough.

Handles DivX, MP3 and JPEG file formats as well as DVDs ; Play files from USB port or disc drive ; Accurate colours

Image quality suffers from grid lines ; Can only play DivX files from disc drive, not USB

All up, the FX720 has its limitations, but for the price, it does what it is designed to do well enough. Depending on your needs, its USB port for playing music and pictures, plus its DivX capabilities may be enough to compensate for what it lacks in...

THIS is a competitively priced DVD player which is easy to use, although its speaker quality is disappointing.

A good quality product that supports a wide amount of different formats including DivX

Good quality, good picture + the video in-out which make it very versitile. Works great to watch photos directly from my DSLR Nikon D80

Region locked, can't find any info on how to unlock it, how stupid is it to make a "travel DVD player" that you can't unlock? And the poor speaker sound

A good quality product well made and easy to use.

Good picture quality, easy to use, good sound quality through headphones. Very useful USB input and Video in and out was actually the reason i bought it

Very poor sound quality from speakers, in fact it is so bad that they cant be used. I initially thought it was a fault with my unit but when I tried the rest in the shop they were all just as bad ; There is no ability to manage the sound quality by way...

Small, easy to use, good battery life

Sound could do with being a bit louder, even at maximum it is still a bit quiet

Consumer review by:

Sound quality through headphones is good and the picture quality is also very good. The battery life is impressive and allows you to watch at least one full movie, sometimes two if they're both shortish. I was impressed by all the leads/cables/remote...

The sound quality through the speakers is not great but they are necessarily small so that is to be expected. It would have been nice if a simple sleeve was provided to keep it in to stop it getting scratched. It won't play movies from a memory...

very disappointing...

 

very disappointing...

This product only accepted certain DVD's. Non of the DVD's we tried with the machine were copies, and yet the machine refused to acknowledge them. This was a shame, as we did not try all the DVD's which we were taking before we left for our holiday,...
