The Sony DVP-FX930 is a full-featured, well-designed, player with great looking picture quality and ample sound output. The battery is rectangular, about 3/8 inch high, and designed to attach to the bottom of the player. This allows the player to retain its sleek rectangular shape, and the rated life of the battery, is an impressive six hours.
The nine inch high resolution screen is capable of delivering sharp and crisp images. The actual dimensions of the screen are 7.8" wide by 4.4 " high. The screen can rotate a full 180 degrees in the clockwise direction. Since the screen can be positioned opposite of the base, the controls are located below the screen, where they can be easily accessed in this configuration. There only one actual button, for the 'Enter' function. The other controls are touch pads in a depressed concave band, that runs across the display just above the speakers. The controls are quite sensitive, and easy to operate with the tip of a finger, but being a bit recessed into the face, getting your finger to the surface sometimes takes a little effort. Fingernail contact works, but not as well. Pressing the screen may not be what many are used to, so naturally there is a remote. For better responsiveness, the player has multiple sensors. The remote control unit (RMT-D191) is full featured, although some functions the unit does not have are 'Mute', 'Zoom', and 'Repeat A-B'. The layout of the buttons could have been designed to be more convenient, but that is not unusual. The required CR2025 battery is included.
With a set of large (for a DVD player) speakers, the level of sound produced is outstanding, making this great for movies and especially concert videos. Besides standard DVD's and CD's, the Sony will also play burned CD's with MP3 files, but there is no tone control, so the sound will probably be trebly. Most DVD players are really slow at displaying large JPEG files, and that is true of this one as well. There is a sideshow function, which could be more convenient, and less frustrating, than trying to scroll through images. When you pop the cover, a detent stops the disc from spinning. The player has two headphone jacks, and audio in/out and video in/out jacks. There is also a 'Hold' switch which locks the controls on the unit, but allows the player to still be controlled by the remote. The cooling system is outstanding, as there are no hot spots anywhere on the housing.
Standard accessories include the remote control, AC adapter, 12V auto adapter, and AV cord. The player has a non-glossy brushed metal finish, and is available in several colors. The screen frame, and top cover where the DVD is loaded are plastic, which helps to keep the weight down, but also means the unit will be prone to scratches and wear. Recharge time using the AC cord is listed at six hours. Use of the auto adapter is recommended with the engine running. With good image quality, high volume sound, and long battery life, Sony has delivered a winner. Great for travel or on the road, just pick your color. And in case there are any problems, be sure to buy from Amazon.

I looked at many models for a couple of weeks before purchasing this portable DVD player. I am absolutely thrilled with it! I knew I would be as soon as I opened the box, but decided to wait until after our vacation to see if it held up. It is FANTASTIC!!!
First of all, the picture quality is awesome - as is the volume. It gets LOUD. I bought it for the purpose of keeping an 18 month old entertained on a plane ride and on a driving tour of California; it exceeded my expectations. I first had to use it in the airport waiting for the plane, and I am not joking or exaggerating when I say that it received compliments from people around us about the picture and sound quality (I didn't have the headphones in use at that time). On the plane, the sound is so good that we could hear with or without headphones, but for courtesy's sake, we used our headphones (had to purchase separately). No, you cannot rewind it just a little bit with the buttons on the player, but you CAN with the remote (which I neglected to pack). So, it was a blessing on the plane.
Secondly, we drove up Highway 1 from San Francisco to Crescent City in CA. If you've never driven the road, it's not particularly smooth and it is probably the curviest road in America. The DVD player was simply sitting on the console between the front seats in the Nissan Exterra so my son could see it since we didn't have a car mount, and it didn't skip once!!! Again, the volume was so good that he could hear it perfectly, and the picture is great from any angle. The swivel feature is sooooo convenient, because you can fit it in virtually any space and still watch it. Also, the pictures don't show it, but it not only swivels around, but it will fold back down on itself so it's flat and you can still watch the screen.
If I could love an inanimate object, I would love this one. It is absolutely worth more money than the others. It is made of good quality materials - not plastic. Just don't touch the screen (the wonderful 9 inch screen - it will get dirty with the slightest brush, but it's easy enough to clean - even when it has milk spilled on it. That's my only negative; otherwise, this is absolutely perfect.
Oh, almost forgot - the battery life is wonderful! That was the primary reason I decided on this one. The plane ride/travel time for the first day was 6+ hours, and this lasted as long as I needed it to. I love that it came with a car adapter, because that really helped, but the battery didn't run out as long as we were out there, and that's exactly what I needed. Finally, it is a true red. Maybe the guy who's saying this is a feminine color accidentally ordered the pink one.

The Sony FX930 a very good portable DVD player. The screen has great image quality and is quite large. The touch buttons are really cool and respond quite well. However, they aren't backlit, so when watching in a dark environment it can be difficult to press the right button. And the slightest touch activates the buttons, so that can be a little annoying at night. This is definitely in the top range of portable DVD players. However, the Red one is NOT RED. It's a very feminine lipstick color and I'm both a little disappointed and embarrassed by that. If you want a colorful DVD player but are worried about your "image" get the blue one.
Note: The 4-way select pad on the unit works as a rewind and fast-forward button. It has 3 speeds for each.

Works as advertised. Used it on a three week road trip with no problems. Kids played DVD's and we also hooked it up to a PS2 for them to use in the car.
