Dual Screen Portable DVD Player

Philips PET708/37 Portable DVD Player with Dual LCD Display Screens and Car Mount Kit Review

2.5 from 5

We bought this system for our daughters over two years ago, and it only just failed after receiving a ninja kick from my 2 1/2 year-old. Is it as good as a built in system? Probably not. But it wasn’t my daughter’s first kick that knocked out the system, it was her hundredth, so we’ll be replacing it with another Philips player set. Only complaint, which was stated in other reviews is that the battery covers the car mount point on the back of the player, so you can’t charge the battery while it’s being watched while mounted in the car. Despite the product advise of “please remove player and mount when not in use”, it spent 90% of it’s life hooked up in the car, so the battery issue wasn’t a frequent problem, but it was an inconvenient one, since it was usually so long between times where I dismounted it, the battery was usually dead anyway. Only other feature I’d love to see is just the seemingly simple ability to hook up an ipod video cable to this system. It would be reeeeeaaaaallly nice to be able to keep the iPod up front, where I can control it, while having its video displayed in back for the kids. DVDs are slowly going the way of the dodo bird, so forward compatibility would be nice. Although, given my daughter’s penchant for punishing the poor thing, it probably wouldn’t outlive the DVD obsolescence anyway.
