Great DVD Player-I got the same but in Blue..!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this player for the large travels by plane. I used this player recently in the fly from Seattle,Wa to San Francisco,CA (1.5 hrs), ; I saw one movie with the full battery charge and later for the fly from San Francisco to Mexico City (4.5 hrs) with the rest of charge, I saw 2 movies with the same battery charge, the battery works very well. The only complaint is that the sound is very low, you must listen the player with headphones, I recommend you use the Sony MDR-V150, then the sound will be great. Maybe some buyers have problems with the battery, normally the rechargeable batts have a life time, if you batt does not hold the charge you will must get other battery.This player was delivered by Sony since 2006-2007, if the player was delivered by sony early then the battery life time will be short, the battery life time decrease if you does not charge it; when the player is not being used, you must charge the battery anyway, this way the battery will hold the charge for longtime when you really use the player.
Just ok item

Picked up this item last minute before a family road trip when our cheapo, no name player died. It appeared to be a great item. This player is great except for the sound. We set it up to be suspended between the front seats. Our 3rd row seating could never hear the player at top sound. When we entered a rain storm the 2nd row was unable to hear the player, and they were front row. Our cheapo setup that died was at least 3 times as loud as this one. Also, why is the remote almost half as big as the player?

Comparison between FX810 and FX820
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Over the Memorial Day weekend, I toured a few electronics shops near my home to test portable DVD players. I took my own headphones and favorite DVDs (both retail ones and ones burned by my DVD recorder) with me.
At first I liked FX810, meeting what I had expected from a portable DVD player under $200. FX810 played all kinds of discs I tested and has a good picture quality, a compact body, and long battery life. But once I tested FX820, I fell in love with the newer model. FX820 has a much better monitor and bigger sound from the speakers while keeping all good features of the old model.
In short, FX820 exceeded my expectation. The price difference between the two models is between 20 to 50 dollars. I was lucky enough to find a shop in Montana which sold FX820 for $149.95 INCLUDING shipping. Another concern about FX810 is its durability. I saw several returned units at a local Circuit City and one at display did not work at all. There is no way to predict the durability of the newer model, but I hope SONY has solved the problems of FX810 and made FX820 more durable.
If you are wondering which model should you buy, I would recommend FX820 over FX810.
BAD BAD BAD IDEA

THE DVD player came to my house and DOES NOT play DVDs JEJEJEJEJE (¡Jesus Christ¡); plays CDs in few cases. I Live outside the united states and it very frustrating because i dont have product warranty. My best advice is DONT BUY IT.
Great buy!

This Sony player is great and has saved us on our road trips thus far! Screen is great, audio is fabulous! Definitely recommend this product.
Lasted 7 months… about 30 hrs use.
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought this portable dvd player about 7 months ago. The total useage is around 30 hrs (two long road trips) Now, after loading a disc the player tells the user to “check disc”. I inserted numerous discs, and a new disc. It still didn’t work, so I called Sony Technical support. He was helpful, and we attempted to fix the machine, but in the end he stated I would need to take it in for repairs. Since it was past 90 days the warranty for the labor repair had been exceeded. It would probably cost more to ship and have repaired than buying another product. Very disappointed in Sony.
Battery Life is GREAT
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought two of these for the kids for a recent vacation. The battery lasted through 2 full movies. Great for a long flight or drive.
Excellent Player
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
After alot of research and reading reviews I purchased this player, which im glad I did. I bought this DVD player to keep my 4 children occupied during long car trips, baseball games and practices. The sound quality is fantastic, battery life is great. The player runs very quiet much different from my old player. The only down fall is the screen doesnt have a mat finish therefore sometimes it makes it hard to concentrate on the movie when you can see your reflection. I plan to inquire into a cling flim that will go over the existing screen to reduce the glare hopefully there is such a thing.
All in all this is an excellent Player and I would highly recommend it.
Not Reliable
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Pros: This product has a truly amazing battery life, and excellent built-to-last quality. Screen resolution is nice (screen cover is too glossy which produces glare easily).
Cons: Sound. It’s ability to consistently play DVD’s.
We bought this at Radio Shack for a long day of plane flight for our 3 year old daughter. We charged it the night before, opened it up and loaded a brand new DVD, pressed play… “Disc Error”. I thought “Must just be this DVD”, so I tried 4 more DVD’s all without any major scratches or smudges (I checked carefully!). Same error each time. Finally (days after the plane trip) I managed to get 2 DVD’s to play. I thought “Ok, it’s going to work now”. Then the next time I tried it, “Disc Error”. No rhyme or reason. It’s like the player decides for itself when it is ready to play a disc!
I took this back to Radio Shack, exchanged it for another one expecting the first to be a fluke. It wasn’t! Same errors and problems.
I was expecting way more out of a Sony since all my other Sony products have been great but this one really didn’t hit the mark. In fact it failed miserably. I would have suffered through less battery life, screen glare, or low sound happily. But it’s a DVD “PLAYER”, meant to “PLAY” DVD’s not have them all say “ERROR”! This was very disappointing. Thankfully, I was refunded all of my purchase.
I am not the picky sort of person so what you see here is what you will get if you buy this unit.
Buyer beware!
Great on the road, acceptable sound, image is clear
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
We had this product for six weeks now and it works great. We only use it on the road though. The sound is not great, but acceptable. We can hear fine going 70 mph on the interstate. The image is clear also. Others have stated the remote is really big, but it is not. Remote is about the size of an iPhone. Battery is detachable which is neat.
I hooked it up to my stereo system once, but was only able to get sound out of the left speaker. The DVD Player acted as the right speaker.
This product is a good product on the road.
So far so good

I’ve only used the DVD player once, on a 3 hours road trip, and it worked nicely. I just hope that it keeps working that way for at least some time, since I felt there were a lot of bad reviews out there for all portable DVDs in general. At least it came fine out of the box
didnt work in India(Audio does work)
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This piece didnt work in India , tried indian cd’s/dvd’s(region 5) but of no use. I even tried some of the hacks provided in the net.I am just waiting to upgrade the firmware if possible to make it multi region player.
Great gift for kids!

I bought this for my daughter, and she loves it. She would rather watch DVDs instead of tv now! It has a beautiful picture and clear sound. It’s her most favorite birthday present, ever!
Great DVD player
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love the size of the unit and the fact that I get over 6 hours of active use with the battery — great for those long flight to Europe. I have had mine for over 6 months and it works like a charm. One of the best units on the market.
Worked great until it died
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this unit. For a portable, the picture quality was reasonable. I always used headphones without complaint. About 1 year after buying it (and taking very good care of it), it would start to freeze. It always happens about 30-40 min after starting so I think it something overheating. Nevertheless, it won’t last long enought to get through even a short movie. Not typical Sony quality. Very dissappointing.
Arrived deffective — sent it back. So far no refund and had to pay postage. Not happy
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
The cable arrived deffective. It was a very cumbersome porcess to send it back. I had to pay for shipping. I believe that my credit shoould include shipping both ways. The company says they don’t refund shipping at all, either way. I have asked for a refund of the shipping, but havn’t heard yet. Meantime, there has been no refund at all. I’m not happy with the customer service at all. The whole thing has been a rediculous red tape nightmare.
Sony DVP-FX810/P 8-inch portable DVD player, pink
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Save your money if you don’t want to use the ear phone. The speakers on this fancy little portable dvd player are so poor that you can barely hear what is being played. I gave it 3 stars because I do love all the other neat features but if I had to do it again, I would not buy this.
Don’t buy it!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I’ve gone through three of these players in the past two years. It seems like if it’s not one thing it’s something else. The first time the player would just freeze. I sent it in because it was under warranty; the replacement they sent had a defective battery. The third one’s screen turns blue while playing videos. Don’t buy it!
Not worth the price
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
We bought this 2 years ago with minimal useage during that time. The player freezes during play. It’s not the DVD’s. It does it for everything. The battery life isn’t great. The sound is very bad. You can barely hear it in an airplane. However, the features of being able to hook it up to larger TV’s and use a remote control are awesome and it’s replacement will certainly have those features.
