Panasonic DVD-LA95EBS

I got the Panasonic DVD-LA95EBS portable DVD player, and it is rubbish! It has bad sound quality, but a good picture. I wouldn't recommend it!

The Panasonic DVD-LA95EBS Portable is an excellent machine if you dont mind the intial outlay (Ipicked one up brand new for less than £600). The picture quality is excellent although the sound can sound a bit tinny coming from the internal speakers. Stick on a pair of decent headphones overcomes this.

The only gripe is the battery life. Fully charged it barely lasts 2 hours which in some cases isnt long enough to watch one film. The manual states that the battery is good for upto 300 charges. Mine died after less than £50. Informed Panasonic about this over 2 weeks ago.... still awaiting a response. Only way round this is to buy a new long life battery which im told can last up to 5 hours. Only problem is its only avaialble from Panasonic!!! Sneaky way of keeping prices higher. Costs about £100 for a new one.

Overall excellent product let down big time by a naff battery.

I do a lot of travelling, so I bought this unit to watch DVD's while flying, at hotels, etc. Does all of this and more...especially after I got it programmed for Multi-region. Now I can buy the latest DVD's for $5 in Moscow (!) and watch them anywhere. The high initial purchase price is soon offset by it's versitality.
