VERY good product!!!! 
2008-02-29
Sometimes you have to spend a little more to get a good product. I read probably all of the reviews on all of Amazon's portable DVD players. This one had the best reviews, and now I can see why. The battery life is GREAT, and the pic is great! I had NO problems with this product. It has come in VERY handy. It comes w/ the cig. lighter adaptor for the car as well!!
Good product! No problems!! You can't go wrong!
Awesome! 2008-02-23
This DVD player is awesome. It works perfectly for long flights. The battery life is great and the screen can be positioned well if the person in front of you reclines their seat. Loved it!
I love this item!!!

I am a normal person and have no experience with electronics, all I wanted was to watch tv on take along with good quality and I got it!!! I chose this model because it was the only one within my budget to give me 12 hours of battery life after charge and that is what I love the best. It is a great player, great quality and I have absolutely no complaints of it.
No more traumatic long road trips 2008-01-23
Panasonic DVD-LS82 8.5" Portable DVD Player with Headrest Kit I purchased this item for my active toddler grandson for use on long road trips. It has succeeded beyond my (and his parents') expectations. Even though I hadn't purchased a headset yet, we took this DVD player along on a 3-hour plane trip. We were able to play it loud enough for him to hear, but not disturb the other passengers. The sound, picture and long battery time are great. Great price too. Best electronic purchase I've ever made.
Great! 2008-01-21
I used this for driving cross-country (Seattle to NY) and it was a lifesaver. The volume was plenty loud without a headset. I never tested the battery to its limit, but never had an issue with its longevity. Easy to use and installed easily onto our headrest. Great buy at a decent price!

The Panasonic DVD-LS-82 8.5" portable DVD player with headrest kit was a value-plus purchase. Besides getting it at a very reduced price for under $200, the 12hr battery life was a key factor in the purchasing decision since we intended to use it during car trips and airline flights. Strongly recomend.
Panasonic LS-82 portable DVD player 2008-03-19
I ordered the LS82 DVD player based on the reviews I saw here. I really wanted the 12 hour battery so that was a strong point. I use the player mostly to play videos that I record from the TV when I am traveling to work on the bus. I have about an hour drive so that works well with one hour programs. I must say I am very happy with my purchase. The price was the best I had seen anywhere and was a bargain with the free shipping. The video quality is obviously not as good as on the TV but it is quite acceptable considering the size of the player. I have now had the player for about a month now and use it 2 to 3 times a week. So far it has been a great investment. I highly recommend it.
Pay a lot get a little - battery time, that is 
2008-03-15
Even with the user reviews telling of less than 12 hours of battery time (as advertised) I expected maybe 2/3 of the 12 hours, but nope, I get 4.5 hours max. I do use highest brightness and color, but if you are buying just for battery life, save your money. Other than that, it's a nice product.
I wonder what the actual battery time is for brands that advertise 6 hours of battery life?
Not a bad DVD Player but has cons 2008-03-11
I bought this DVD player last month,now I'm an honest person and I myself was reading any review that could have helped me make the best choice...I looked at a few other Players on amazon but most of them had drawbacks or didn't cut in battery life power..I decided to go with this because it claimed it had a 12 hour battery,as expected of course,it's mostly BS..Here are the pros:The Video is pretty good,on a scale i'd say 8/10..The Volume can really crank up loud,it plays all mainstream DVD's...the pivot screen is brilliant,I can put it in so many different angles,the dvd headrest mount is is also a good option,I like how it plays different types of formats,like CD,MP3,JPEG Discs and some burned DVDs...this thing has an excellent anti-skip device,it also includes 2 head phone jacks.
Here are the cons:Ok,first of all,whoever decided to not include a remote is crazy,because for a $220 player you'd expect a remote..the screen is really dark,I mean you have to pivot it a certain way so that it isn't so dark,also,the dvd player itself doesn't have much brightness to it,if you put it on max bright,which is daylight setting,and you're watching a movie that let's say,primarily takes place at night or is just mostly dark,then it really affects you...the battery life is actually terrible...I'm forced to use headphones so that I can watch 2 movies and maybe 1 or 2 episodes of the simpsons...if you leave it w/out headphones and on max bright,you'll probably get 2 hours tops...I haven't tested the battery life yet..but this is what i've been able to watch:I've watched 2 movies that were 2 hours long and 2 episodes of the simpsons which were about 20 minutes long each..so 4 hours and 40 minutes before it dies [using headphones]..so don't be fooled by the 12 hour battery life,because that's if you have it on zero bright and low sound with headphones,which makes whatever you're watching boring in which you won't be able to see anything,I also think enabling subtitles takes a little more battery life...one thing that also bugs me,is the fact that the buttons get pressed easily..if you're trying to pivot the screen,you'll more than likely hit the stop button or the next chapter option which is very annoying,this happens a lot...that's about it.
Here is what was included when i got the package.
DVD Player,Headrest Mount,cables for tv,car power adapter,power plug adapter,instructions.
So in all,I do recommend this dvd player,it's probably the best option that is available right now..but like i said,don't be fooled by the battery life..but in all,it's worth the money,you're getting a good product that has little drawbacks.
Great purchase 2008-03-01
I purchased this DVD unit as I travel significantly on long flights and long layovers in airports. The extended battery life and large screen were appealing to me. I've used it many times over the first 30 days with no problems at all. I highly recommend this unit.
