Colors are washed out 
2008-09-27
The color on mine was washed out. Brightess control does not help. Video does not work with fourth gen Nano.
Great DVD player 
2008-09-15
We bought this dvd player based on previous consumer reviews and love it. The volume is great. We've had no problem with IPod compatibility. It is durable and simple to use. Great buy!
Great for the price! Does not play SDHC 
2008-09-12
We bought this viewer primarily because we wanted something to watch whilst on the elliptical trainer. We chose this one because it is able to play Divx files stored on SD cards in addition to DVDs. It would have been more convenient if it had a USB port, but it works quite well from the SD card. The screen is clear and bright, and the DVD player functions perfectly without skipping even when strapped to our rocky elliptical trainer.
If you do intend to play digital files using the SD slot, do note that it will NOT play SDHC (high capacity) cards. We were able to find a couple of 4gb non-HC cards, but they are somewhat rare. It's unfortunate, because all of the newer, larger cards will be SDHC, so stock up while you can.
We purchased this player for $129.
In summary...
Pros:
Plays Divx files
SD slot
Good volume
nice screen
Cons:
No USB port
Does not accept SDHC
iPod Touch does not fit in iPod port

A couple of years ago the price was 219.The price should have gone down.What gives?
Like other negative reviewers, mine broke within a year 2008-06-10
I bought this one to replace a Cyberhome 7" portable. Unlike the Cyberhome, which I used like crazy, I've maybe seen a total of 3-4 movies on this thing in a year's time. I'm working from home today & decided to pop in a movie...battery will not charge and unit will NOT work unless plugged into the wall. My warranty runs out the end of the month & Philips offered me "same or comparable" model...I pray I don't have the same problem as some of the other reviewers. Other than that, the unit is great, picture is clear, sound is good.
Note: Doesn't work with 6th gen iPod Classic. It'll output audio, but no video.
Great DVD player except for battery life 2008-06-01
Portable movies dazzle on the versatile swivel screen of the 7-inch (diagonal) Widescreen DCP750 and DVDs&iPod aren't the only media it can handle. Display digital photos or play Divx movies through the memory card reader and a broad range of video-based media including DVD+-R and DVD+-RW formats, SVCD, VCD and MPEG4. This light-weight station is compact and stylish with car adapters to ensure the player stays powered on your trip. The docking station also charges your iPod while viewing. The built-in, rechargeable battery delivers up to 2.5 hours of playtime and remote control adds simple navigation while traveling. Two headphone jacks let you share the entertainment with a friend. Optimal screen quality is ensured with Zero Bright Dot which limits the number of blank spots in LCD screens.
Watch our for the warranty! 2008-05-29
This product was great! For a month. Then it stopped working. I contacted philips and was very impressed when they said, "no problem, send it to us and we'll get a replacement out to you right away."
Unfortunately, the "replacement" was a completely different model without the swivel screen. I have no use for a portable dvd player that doesn't have a closeable screen as I know that the exposed screen will get scratched up and destroyed in short order.
I contacted philips again and they said, "read your warranty, it says we can send you "the most comparable model available" We don't have any swivel screen models available, so that's what you got."
I told them that I have absolutely NO use for a portable dvd player with an exposed screen and they said "read your warranty...." I asked if I could get a refund. "No" Can I pay the difference to get a higher model with a swivel screen. "No, but you can of course buy a complete new one at full price".
I bought two of these, the first one failed right out of the box, but luckily I was able to take that one back to the store where I bought it.
I will never buy another Philips product if I can at all help it.
Buyer Beware - Broke within a month! 2008-05-25
We bought this DVD player to play movies for our little guys while we're on the road. The very first time we used it, the movie froze several times and restarted itself...and these were movies that played flawlessly in our home DVD player, so scratches or smudges weren't an issue.
A few weeks later, during another road trip, it froze yet another movie, and this time, it never restarted. We popped out the DVD, put another in, and that was it - the unit never recognized another DVD, and never played another second of video. Our children never had even touched the thing, and it was given absolute care and protection - a padded case, not left in the hot/cold car, only mommy and daddy allowed to operate it. I can't imagine why it would go kaput so fast, so I'm returning it for something else.
Save your money - buy something else!!
Only for a 'naked' iPod 
2008-05-21
If you are like me and iron-clad protect your iPod, the space for which the iPod is supposed to dock isn't sufficient. It has no wiggle room whatsoever so you'd better have a naked iPod if you plan on docking it. The remote looks cheesy, has too many buttons and so is rather user unfriendly; it fits into the iPod docking space when your iPod isn't in it. As an aside, I had bought an 'open box' one from Amazon and the DVD player part just kept stopping in mid-stream (yes, I did try several DVDs). I don't know if it was a defective machine to begin with -- perhaps someone returned a defective product to Amazon without informing Amazon that it is defective? So I myself had to return it to Amazon after a couple of futile attempts to play DVDs. So the main purpose of my review is just to warn you that you can only use this machine with a naked iPod, because I really can't fairly vouch for its quality or lack thereof!
I'm looking for a better one 2008-04-26
Broke in less than six months with only moderate use. Screen output is bad. Power LED not working. Perhaps a voltage issue? dunno.
After calling Philips and being assured that a 4gb sdhc card would work with the unit it turns out that it doesn't. Waste of $$ there due to Philips inability to properly support their product or document the specification.
The swivel screen is great though because you can turn it around and lay it flat so your toddler can't mash all the buttons while watching in the car during that long car trip. Yet you can keep the remote and still control it.
The truth is that I'll buy another one of these if I can't identify a better one with a swivel screen and flash card support. Longer battery life would also be great.
