Editorial Reviews :
One of the most convenient and affordable portable DVD players, the DVD-LV57 is also an ideal travel companion for enjoying both movies and music. Battery life, once the biggest drawback in portable DVD players, now holds for five hours of playing time using the supplied battery pack--sufficient for watching both The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me on a cross-country or international flight.
Small speakers are built in, and the DVD-LV57 plays CDs, too--and not just the commercial kind. You can burn your own in MP3 and take those along for the ride as well (playability may vary depending on contents and discs). Screen size is a mere 5 inches diagonally (standard is 7), but what it lacks in widescreen prowess, it makes up for in portability and affordability.
If this will also be serving as your home player, it's well equipped for that with a 27 MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog converter and Cinema Mode for vivid luminance and color with improved detail even in dark scenes. An optical digital-audio output lets you connect the DVD-LV57 with your surround-decoding audio receiver for 5.1-channel sonic immersion, while an onboard dialogue enhancer emphasizes the center-channel sound to heighten intelligibility. Virtual surround sound simulates a surround effect through two channels, either headphones or home speakers.
Wherever you're watching, you'll appreciate Panasonic's high-speed, smooth-motion scan, giving you five speeds (up to 100x) for crystal-clear scan quality while locating desired places on a disc. Rounding out the playback functions, chapter preview helps refresh your memory by showing you the first three seconds of each previously viewed chapter on a given disc--helpful if you've interrupted playback for any length of time.
Convenience features include an auto-recharge impulse for the rechargeable battery pack, a slim remote control, and a top-panel joystick.
Buyer Reviews :
I own a few portable dvd players, but none compares to Panasonic's LV-57. Super slim and weighing just under 3 Lbs., the LV-57 is targetted towards those serious movie fans who would like to view their favorite movies on the go. Now you can go to 'Entertainment Outlet', pick up a new release and pop it into your dvd and off you go into the magical world of celluloid movies. It's so small and tiny you can fit it in your coat pocket while strolling down 5th Avenue. Pop it open as you relax on a park bench or in a subway car. The hours will fly by as you enjoy all your favorite movies. Battery life is the major factor for any hard core movie buff and the LV-57's 5 hour battery life is number one among portable dvd's on the market. Add an extra battery (which I was lucky enough to purchase at 'Data Vision' for only 60 dollars) and you will be able to enjoy 10 hours of continuous movie viewing. The third quality that makes the LV-57 the choice for the hard core dvd viewer is the high quality sound which eminates from this tiny unit. Yes, the LV-57 packs quite a wallop. ...
