It handles not only your DVD-Videos (both NTSC- and PAL-formatted discs, depending on your TV), but it plays your music, too--everything from standard CDs to home-burned CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and MP3-encoded CDs. Further, you can load a disc brimming with digital photos for custom slide shows in the comfort of your home theater.

An onscreen display simplifies setup and operation, and the unit comes with a compact, full-function remote control. Other features include parental controls (with PIN lock), frame-by-frame slow motion, picture zoom (2x, 4x), and multiple-angle viewing (with applicable discs).

Like to travel? The DVD-224 won't hog space in your bag, and an auto-switching universal power supply handles inputs from AC 110 to 220 volts (50/60 Hz) for use in most countries. Accordingly, the unit's onscreen display offers a choice of 5 setup languages: English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian.

A composite-video output ensures compatibility with nearly any television and many newer computer monitors. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (choose from either optical or coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. A set of standard left/right RCA analog outputs simplifies hookup with traditional integrated amplifiers and most televisions.

Coby DVD-207 Compact DVD Player

Product description:

Coby's compact DVD-207 affords DVD and CD playback from a device about the size of a soft-cover book. Whether you're ferrying the player between the kitchen and the bedroom or hooking it up for periodic use by the kids, the DVD-207's small size permits myriad uses. While not quite portable in the traditional sense--the unit has no screen and requires AC power--the DVD-207 is much easier to move around, set-up, and use than a traditional component DVD player.

It handles not only your DVD-Videos (both NTSC- and PAL-formatted discs), but your music, too, from standard CDs to home-burned CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and MP3-encoded CDs. Further, you can load a disc brimming with digital photos for custom slide shows in the comfort of your home theater.

Norcent DP315 Progressive Scan DVD Player

Product description:
Amazon.com Review
Norcent's DP315 DVD/CD player is streamlined, compact, and really somewhat cute--not to mention a real bargain. That is to say, our experience with the player leads us to conclude that it gives you a lot for your money. That's not to say it's a perfect DVD player: the DP315 has serious limitations as a home theater component. But if you're after pristine audio and video quality, you probably won't mind paying more for a better player. The DP315 is simply a terrifically affordable starter or bedroom DVD player, a handy movie machine for the kids, or a terrific jukebox to spin your audio CDs or homemade MP3 or JPEG image CDs in the comfort of your living room.

Far and away the most irritating thing about the DP315 is its tendency to freeze up during video playback. Once or twice a movie it'll just stop playing, hold a perfect image for up to 30 or 40 seconds, then resume playing. It doesn't drop anything or forget where it was, but there's no question that the pauses interfere with movie viewing. Just remember: this thing costs less than many DVD titles. And, movies are far from its only game.

Pop your MP3-filled recordable CDs in the player, hit play, and you'll be able to enjoy 10 or more hours of music per disc, with sound quality that was far better than our computer system had led us to expect. It passes decoded MP3 signals through its digital-audio output, but, when doing so, pauses ever so slightly after starting each track; we recommend listening to MP3s through the analog outputs.

Want a slideshow from your favorite digital photos? Load a CD-R or CD-RW bearing JPEG image files, or play a disc recorded as a Kodak Picture CD for better slideshow features (fancier shot transitions, for starters). On a mixed-mode MP3/JPEG CD, you can even select a single JPEG image to serve as a background for the MP3 screen menu while you listen to music. In our extended testing period, we never encountered the freezing issue during playback of music or still-image CDs. We did, however, find that the player handles video CDs just fine, though it does not claim to play them.

Due to its small size and low-cost construction, the DP315 has no front-panel display, so all track searches and disc timing checks must be performed using the player's onscreen display. It performs track programming and repeat play with both CDs and DVDs (though there's no random play). The device offers folder and file navigation, and you can also cue a track from any folder while still listening to another. Access times are nearly instantaneous, even between folders.

Connections include composite-video, S-video, and component-video outputs, with seamless, high-resolution progressive scanning selectable from the component outs if you're inclined to feed an HD-ready television from this particular player. The Dolby Digital and DTS-compatible coaxial digital-audio output and a set of left/right analog audio outs channel sound to your surround receiver, integrated amplifier, or television. You'll need to use the digital out for surround sound, and please note that the player does not come with a coaxial digital-audio cable.

Taken strictly as a music player, the DP315 is easily a worthwhile machine. But even with the player's finicky DVD performance, we were still consistently amazed by its clear, vivid images and pristine, enveloping digital surround sound output. If you're on a budget or looking for a feature-packed alternative to high-ticket DVD or MP3 players, Norcent's DP315 has much to offer. --Michael Mikesell

Pros:
Extremely affordable Compact chassis allows easy placement Plays MP3 CDs Runs digital-photo slideshows from JPEG image CDs No TV required for MP3 playback--just hit Play Progressive-scan video output Passes Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround signals Costs very little to replace if damaged

Cons:
Occasionally freezes up during playback No front-panel display

Panasonic DVD-LV60 5.8" Portable DVD Player

Product description:

The DVD-LV60 portable DVD player from Panasonic offers popular home theater features like Cinema Mode and Dialogue Enhancer in an ultralightweight and compact package. Convenience features include high-speed smooth-motion scan, auto switching field/frame still, forward and reverse frame advance, and chapter preview. With twin laser pickup, regular-format CDs as well as home-recorded CD-R and CD-RW media with MP3s can be played along with your DVDs.

The LV60 player is equipped with S-sideo outputs, Dolby Digital and DTS output, standard audio/video outs, and optical digital-audio outputs for convenient connection to a TV and audio system. An easy-to-use joystick-type control is featured on the unit.

Nothing brings home the cinema experience like DVD, including the enjoyment of rich theaterlike sound. But sometimes a movie's soundtrack can overwhelm a scene and even drown out the dialogue. The Dialogue Enhancer feature conveniently solves this problem by boosting the volume of the center channel, where most of the principal dialogue emanates when playing a Dolby Digital 5.1 disc, by 6 dB, so viewers don't have to strain to hear the actors during a noisy scene. The Cinema Mode feature is sure to be a film aficionados' favorite. When selected, Cinema Mode enhances the picture by reducing glare, softening resolution, and improving visibility of details in dark scenes, resulting in a more realistic, cinemalike image.

Every Panasonic DVD player features high-speed, five-step smooth-motion scan. This feature provides crystal-clear forward and reverse scan in five speeds. At the highest setting, the unit scans at an incredible 100 times normal speed.

The model DVD-LV60 features an impressive 5.8-inch 16:9 widescreen LCD monitor and built-in stereo speakers. It is expected to deliver up to three hours of playback time (on the lowest brightness setting) from a single charge from the included rechargeable battery pack.

The Panasonic DVD-LV60 is Energy Star compliant and comes with audio-video cables, an AC adapter, and slim remote control. Panasonic offers a warranty of a year on parts and 90 days on labor.

CyberHome CH-LDV 712 7" Portable Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Silver)

Product description:
Amazon.com
Watch movies, listen to MP3 CDs, view digital photos, or review camcorder footage--all from one portable device. The CyberHome CH-LDV 712 puts a world of entertainment at your fingertips, and it comes with everything needed to use it in the car or in home. Its built-in seven-inch widescreen LCD displays your favorite movies in their native aspect ratios and gives you the option to fill the screen with discs formatted in the standard 4:3 TV aspect ratio.

Choose to listen from the unit's built-in stereo speakers or its headphone jack and supplied earbud headphones. Best of all, perhaps, the unit's four-hour battery life gives you enough juice to watch two full-length movies. Full format compatibility includes everything from standard NTSC DVD-Video to PAL- and P-SCAN-formatted discs, audio CD, VCD, SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, JPEG CD, MP3 CD, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the CH-LDV 712 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs when used in a home-theater environment. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The player also performs 3:2 pulldown through its progressive-scan output. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Other connections include S-video and composite-video outputs (composite-video is switchable as an input), and a switchable analog audio input/output. An optical digital-audio output lets you hook the player up with an audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system to enjoy immersive DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround from your discs (optical digital-audio interconnect not included).
