## Description

Sony DVP-FX820 8-Inch Portable DVD Player, Black

Review: I'm amazed... - I did a lot of research before choosing the Sony DVP-FX820 and what sold me were all the great reviews (thanks everyone!) I was leaning toward a player with a larger screen, but I trusted what I read about the picture quality of this unit... and I have to say, I received it today and I am amazed. It's much better than I expected! This little dvd player has a better picture than my HD TV! And although the speaker sound is a little hollow (no real base) the volume more than makes up for it... I've heard other players- or should I say I've tried to hear other players- the volume is wonderful on this one, the sound totally acceptable via the speakers and the sound is incredible when I use my 10 yr old Sony Studio Monitor headset. While I was shopping around, I was a bit concerned about what would happen to my full screen DVDs on this widescreen unit. I read about other units that really stretched the image out so that it looked bad. When I tested this unit, I first saw this approx 5" x 4" image and thought, boy that's weird... it was still ok but I didn't understand it until I read the manual. You can change the format from "Normal" (which is that box that's narrower than the screen), or it can be changed to Full. The Full screen mode doesn't look bad at all. Everyone looks slightly heavier but not distorted... I flipped back and forth between the modes several times to see if I could really see the difference, and it wasn't bad at all- nothing looked distorted. The battery is nearly the size of the base of the unit but it is very slim and hardly adds thickness to the until (I had read on other untils how the battery was a real detractor- but not with this unit.) The remote is just the right size- it's big enough where you wouldn't lose it too easily but it's smaller than a normal tv/dvd remote. I didn't want one of those credit card sized ones! And it couldn't be easier to use. I started out wanting a 10" screen but I changed my mind based on the reviews- and I'm very happy I went with the 8". After I thought about it, I realized that I didn't want to feel like I was carrying around a laptop- I already have a laptop and so why even bother spending $ on a portable DVD player? :) I highly recommend this Sony unless your heart is really set on a larger one. I now think this size is perfect. So anyway, I was very happy with the unit before I plugged in my headset. With my headset, this player blows me away- I'm amazed at the quality. And now I've got to look for a case that's worthy of it. :) UPDATE... I found a great case worthy of this DVD player!! I purchased the Targus DVD001 13 Portable DVD Player Case from desertcart. It is good quality, nicely padded and fits not only the player, but also my large headphones which do fold and all the accessories. It holds a lot of DVDs if you take them out of their cases but I don't like to do that, so it only holds about 4 if you keep the DVDs in their plastic cases. This is my own issue with the case. But I love it and would recommend it to everyone. Oh, it also has a strap that staps across the DVD player to keep it snug and also a divider attached by velcro to separate the dvd player from the accessories you pack with it. Great Bag!
Review: Great Portable DVD Player - Pros: - GREAT picture! - Long battery life (over 5 hours at normal settings) - Very user friendly remote, along with onboard controls - Comes with cables to hook up to a TV or video camera Cons: - Sound from the speakers is only mediocre, but the sound over headphones (not included) is fine I have been shopping for a portable DVD player for several years. I wanted to find one with a long battery life, but that also had a good picture and good features. I was leaning towards the Panasonic LS86 Panasonic DVD-LS86 8.5-Inch Portable DVD Player mainly because of it's huge battery life (13 hours). But I was put off by the lack of a remote, and the funny way the screen folds, so as to hide the controls. So I chose the Sony DVD-FX820 Sony DVP-FX820 8-Inch Portable DVD Player, Black It has a six hour battery life, the screen swivels and folds nicely, and has the best reviewed screen resolution of all the portable players out there. The unit comes with a wall charger/power adapter, and also a car power adapter. The remote is very handy, and the unit can be plugged into a TV and used like a normal DVD player. I decided to do some current tests, and discovered that the player pulls between 0.6 and 1.1 amps, depending on the settings. With the display brightness set to half (which would be good enough for most situations, except bright sunlight), and the volume at a comfortable level using headphones, the current draw is 0.65 amps, and the battery will last for just over 5 hours. I bought two AA battery holders from Radio Shack, attached them to the power cord in place of the car adapter, and ran the unit with 8 NiMH 2900 mah AA batteries. At full brightness the player ran for two hours. With reduced brightness the playing time is increased by at least 1/2 hour. Thus it is possible, using rechargeable AA batteries, to power this unit for many hours. Note that disposable batteries will NOT work, as their voltage decreases gradually, and the player must have about 8 volts to run normally. 8 AA NiMH batteries give a voltage of 9.6 volts, compared to the 9.5 volts provided by the wall charger. One thing I especially like is the design of the battery. It covers the entire bottom of the unit, and when it is removed, the bottom is smooth and has small rubber feet, so the unit can sit on a table with nothing poking down. Good engineering. Overall I am very satisfied with this unit, and would highly recommend it. I have owned it for only one week, but have used it extensively and have had no problems with it. I am especially pleased that it can be modified to run on AA batteries, so that it will last for an entire overseas flight.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this dvd player come with a car charger and a wall charger?**
A: That depends on where you get it from.  Since they're no longer sold in stores it's basically going to be whatever the person has for it.  In almost all cases, it's only going to be a wall charger.  If they bought a car charger, they'll probably send that along as well since not all the DVD players can use the same chargers.

**Q: Can the FX820 player video files from DVD, for example, .jpg?**
A: I don't know because I have not tried a .jpg format-file

**Q: I need a replacement cord for the dvp-fx820 portable dvd player where can i find one.?   ordered one and it is too big.**
A: Ebay?

**Q: I've read some portable DVD players don't play old movies well. Does this one play old movies as well as new ones?**
A: Yes, I am trying to buy a new battery for this player, which I've had for a few years because it plays classic DVD's.  Have a good day!

### ⭐ Class 1M Radiation
*by A***A on December 3, 2008*

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.
