Amazon.com Product Description

Watch movies the way they were meant to be viewed with the MPD720 portable DVD player from Magnavox. This lightweight player features a 7-inch LCD display with a theater-like 16:9 aspect ratio. A rechargeable battery can run the player for up to 3 hours, and you can plug it in anywhere for longer viewings. The MPD720 plays DVDs, CDs, MP3s, and more, so you can bring along all your favorite videos and music.

The screen on the MPD720 is a thin-film-transfer (TFT) display that generates clear images without adding unnecessary bulk to the portable player. While you can enjoy movies everywhere you go with the built-in screen, you can connect the player to any television to watch your DVDs on a bigger screen. The MPD720 features both composite and S-ideo connections to link the player to another TV.

The MPD720 plays DVDs and CDs (including discs burned on a computer), as well as VCDs. You can also play MP3s from CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and view digital JPEG photos. The MPD720 features built-in stereo speakers and a headphone jack for private viewing or listening. For even fuller sound, hook the player up to an audio receiver through the digital optical audio connection to experience rich surround sound.

The MPD720 can go anywhere you go. Use it at home by plugging the player into a wall outlet, or run it in the car with the DC power adapter. After watching a movie, the battery can be quickly and easily recharged with the included charger.

No problems after 1.5 years.......2006-07-22

We've had no performance issues with ours. Have two boys, 6 & 4, who are the primary users so it's not exactly been handled with care. It still holds up well, loads the discs with no problem. My only complaint would be that for some movies, I'm not able to get the image bright enough to be seen clearly. This thing has saved our sanity on many cross-country trips to visit family. Has done well both in the car and on planes.

Magnavox MPD720 is not for the long haul.......2006-03-03

After reading good reviews for this on Amazon.com, I purchased it February 2005. Now I am seeing the more critical reviews from the period after my purchase. The criticism is justified. Within the first 90 days, the Magnavox MPD720 was no longer playing despite no abuse - usually played from my nightstand. I sent it back to the manufacturer who replaced it. Recently I began to hear the dreaded grinding and see the now familiar mid-scene pause - it has stopped loading. So within a year, two machines failed.

I did not feel the volume was adequate from the beginning. The battery did work well on a vacation last year; however, it protrudes in such a way as to make the unit not fit in the case when used to hold it in position in a car.

Yesterday I purchased a Philips portable dvd player which was recommended on this site. It is the same company as the Magnavox, but the model looks like a completely different product so I can only hope. I do not have the budget to replace it annually.

The best reviews are not the ones from people who have just turned on the machine or are quoting the product sheet, but who have had some time to see how the machine works over time.

Thanks to others who took the time to analyze what they do and don't like about their portable dvd players. Without these informed comments, we are buying blind.

Great little player!.......2006-02-09

I purchased this DVD player at our local Wal-Mart as a Christmas gift (2004) for my husband who was being deployed to Iraq. He used this player every single day while he was gone and did not have any problems. We have continued to use it since he has been home now and still do not have any problems. In fact, I am here to purchase the car adapter for a trip we will be taking!

Another Broken Player.......2006-02-09

Like many of the other reviews on this page the DVD player broke after about a months use. You can hear the sound but the screen doesn't work.
Sounds like a defective product to me.

Magnavox MPD720 - WORST PORTABLE DVD ON THE MARKET - BROKE AFTER 3rd VIEWING.......2005-11-19

This is one of the most expensive DVD players on the market and it broke after the 3rd time it was used. That is a whole lot of money to flush down the toilet!

Customer Reviews:

DOES NOT PLAYS MP3.......2007-04-22

Denon DVD-2910 is a nice dvd player. Images are bright, detailed and colors pretty natural. Film sound is more than acceptable but when moving to 2 channels (CD or SACD) quality is not as good as I hoped. SACD sound is pretty poor when compared with multiformat cd players or dedicated sacd players.

When coming to other formats situation can get a little complicated. I have several mp3 cds made from my own cds, none of them is recognized by the DVD-2910s. I have recorded them with Nero, Roxio, iTunes, and nothing...no mp3 reproduction

I'll stick with my older player.......2006-08-19

I upgraded to get the best DVD player money could buy (under $1000 of course). One of the reasons I bought this was the ability to play other region DVDs with a little work and that it had HDMI output. I connected the player up to my 43" 1080P LCD and made sure everything was connected and configured correctly.

I was amazed to see that on one DVD the THX logo had a green tint to it. Not only that but the faces of people had this as well. It's hardly noticeable. Not only that but there was much more blockiness and pixelization in movies then on my other DVD players. I noticed this immediately and was majorly disappointed. I almost thought I had a defective unit at first. Sadly, I connect my older player and all was fixed. Back in the box and to the store it went. Yes, I did try changing the configuration with no luck.

I will admit that the sound quality is great. I was very impressed with it and definitely noticed the improvement over my older DVD player. The build quality is also extremely good. I loved the remote. It's near perfect. I can't believe people can actually complain about the remote!

This unit is very expensive. If you think it's a good deal for what you get, you're only lying. To me, if the picture quality isn't any better than my cheaper player, than why bother? The extras on this unit still don't make it worth the extra few hundred dollars.

Perhaps I had a defective unit and yours is fine. That's good. Just be sure to keep your box and receipt!

Great when 1st purchased.. Down Hill ever Since.......2006-05-28

Purchased my Denon From ovation.. 1st ones off the truck about 1 1/2 years ago.. THe display went out 2 months later... Sent it in..
Shipped it off.. Was gone for 7+ months. Display was fixed however now the TosLink Audio and 5.1 surround is missing high freqs..
THe tech support is VERY hard to get a hold off. If not existant.
DO NOT BUY A DENON IF YOU WANT SUPPORT.. honestly I will never buy a another "denon" product To much hassle.. Now the warranty is run out and I'm stuck with a broke audio player.. However The picture/playing/control is second to non. If I did not have any problems I would buy another one. But not now.. It's feature rich without a doubt just wish it did not have so many problems..

Good DVD player fair audio at best.......2006-02-03

I was very disappointed with the audio quality of this player. After reading all the rave reviews, I borrowed one from a friend to try out. How this player was given high marks for CD and SACD audio is hard to understand. With players like the 2910 it's no wonder SACDs are not given the recognition they deserve. This review is for 2 channel audio only. Maybe the 2910 has some surround sound tricks that at this time do not interest me. I wish someone would build a great sounding uniplayer at this price. I had to spend allot more to get what I wanted. Bottom line, the 2910 DVD video quality is very good, but it is not a 2 channel audiophile quality player!

Denon has no tech support.......2005-12-01

My Denon DVD-2910 quit playing 5.1 audio. Denon has no tech support available that works. The phone system does not allow a person to hold for a tech support person for more that a few minutes. The system asks you to speak louder and asks how you want to send the message. What message, I was never asked if I wanted to send a message. Over all Denon's tech support is unusable. Plan to spent long hours reviewing the manual and hopefully you can figure out things on your own. My question was not in the manual. My question is why did I go from 5.1 output to 2 channel output when I changed nothing? And how do I change it back to 5.1? When working correctly the Denon DVD-2910 is a 5-star dvd player but when things go wrong the tech support is a 0-star and the 2910 becomes a very frustrating block of plastic and wires.

Frame was very easy to setup with USB or wireless, took all of 5 minutes to get the wireless configuration done and working.

A good product, best in the market.......2006-03-02

Good product, probably the best digital frame in the market. Drawbacks are the user interface and the difficulty to set-up the wireless connection.

0 but 1 is the lowest rating. .......2005-12-14

Pros: Great resolution. Nice packaging. Excellent door stop.
Cons: Stopped working after 3 weeks. Horrible overall quality. No customer support what so ever since I didn't have a receipt (ebay purchase).

Tried contacting the ebay seller for receipt, never got a response now I'm stuck with a 360 dollar dead weight. Tried contacting pacificdigital they offered a none warranty repair for $199. Becareful what you purchase on ebay specially pacificdigital products.

Great for helping display those 1000's of photos you have.......2005-11-22

I have one of these on the wall in my sitting room and it brings me a smile everytime I use it ... I can see the photos (about 80 at a time) that I have uploaded to it ... uploading is a breeze using the wireless network and the software on the PC works really well and has handled any picture I have thrown at it... Okay so it is a little pricey but for a gadget freak like me it is a must have item in the digital home :-)
