I bought this because it looked high quality, then at the back of the DVD player when i took it out of the box says it has Class 1M radiation. They don’t put that on the retail box, because it would lose money, but they put it on the bottom of the DVD player so they are not legally accountable. That means that if you have glasses, the laser is invisible and will go right into your eye, amplified, and damage it. I don’t know about you but i don’t want radiation in my eyes, I’m getting rid of this junk.

My husband bought this player in US as a gift. The seller hasn’t warned him of the fact that it would only play region 1 stuff. It is useless for EU users.

After a lengthy comparison of the features, I had narrowed my choices down to Toshiba’s SD-P101S Sony’s FX-820. I have some DVDs of movies I recorded off the air to take on trips. My recorder is a Panasonic [which is great, by the way] that has a “flex-record” feature that allows you to specify the record time. For example, if a movie is 125 minutes, rather than record in the 4-hour mode at lower resolution, or two-hour and use two discs, you can get it all on one disc with better resolution than the 4-hour by setting the time to 2 hours and 5 minutes. So I wanted a portable that would play them, and the Sony was the only one of the two that did. [The specs don't say this; I had to try a couple of discs to verify it.]
As of this writing, 03/31/09, I have owned this unit for only four days, so I will update this as I learn more about it.
First of all, I must make clear the fact that I like my TV picture adjusted to look as much as possible like a movie in a theater. This means that flesh tones and contrast should look natural. It never ceases to amaze me that people will spend thousands of dollars on high resolution and then want the contrast so the detail is gone, and so the color is saturated and the subjects’ faces are orange, even Afro subjects! What is even more mind boggling is the fact that default factory settings produce these results. Why people like their TVs to look different from a theater escapes me.
And this is where the Sony is a big disappointment. The specs do say the color, contrast, hue, and backlight can be adjusted, and they can … but not enough.
Another disappointment is the remote control. It is not very intuitive like the one on my 40-inch Sony. Why doesn’t Sony make the controls the same?
Update 08/28/09:
I have fed its output into a Hatachi LCD TV, and the picture is just fine. Sony needs to work on this model’s LCD.
Recently used it on a plane trip, and the fully-charged battery lasted long enough to watch two movies that totaled just over 3 1/2 hours, which was enough.
