Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was very impressed by the size of the screen and all the ports that can be used to watch a video or see a bunch of pictures. Or whatever your needs are with entertainment. I say it's user-friendly because my mother has Alzheimer's and she's able to use this Sylvania DVD player portable. It has very good sound quality. It's not heavy so that you can take it from place to place. Buttons are very clear and understandable. It also comes with a remote that is very useful so you don't have to keep getting up and down. I've had another one that was smaller but this one outshines them all. Sincerely Jen

I just got it in the mail and tested it. First thing is packaging could have been better; they legit sent it in it’s original box! The neighbors could have stolen it if they noticed what is was; mail man left it in plain site. Box was a little damaged, could have easily been stolen or fell from box; the item so far does seem ok. The screen is huge so that’s great; picture a good size laptop. The sound is great with the DVD I tested. The downside to the remote is that it won’t work if the screen is closed like when the screen it facing out. The layout of the item is not as seen in the pictures but it’s ok. I haven’t tested it on the road so I will update my review based on whether it skips or how battery life lasts. One thing I will point out when the screen it facing and it’s closed, when you reopen it the movie will briefly pause then restart where you left off. Not sure why.

Perfect replacement and love the screen size. Just wish volume could be louder.

My new Sylvania DVD Portable is a pleasure to watch DVD Movies, Exercise Tapes and CDs. The screen is perfect and can be seen in any direction as it swivels. I highly recommend Sylvania 13.3" player for all ages.

Love the big rotatable screen. Remote control is very handy. Love that it plays music and will view photos. Wish it had the ability to charge while operating. Volume is nice. Nice weight.

It's been a great unit to have for many situations. I use a lot during my lunch hour or if I cannot watch what I want at home. I can just pop in one of my favorite discs, plug in my headphones and I am set. Thx, CQ.

Bought this item online & picked up at store. First problem, they gave me a previously returned portable DVD player! That should have never happened especially with Covid still happening in our area! I could hear the player sliding around in the box, there was no packaging around the items, the headphones looked like they had been used. Had to go back the next day & exchange for one that was not returned before. The new one was nicely packaged & untouched, player works great, quality is not great like blu ray but it does it’s job! Also the player looks different than it does online, first 2 pictures are of the returned player. The rest are of the new player.

We bought this portable DVD/cd player almost a year ago and have gotten plenty of use from it already! It has a swivel screen for better viewing and you can connect extra speakers for higher quality sound. Would buy this again for a nice present!!

Within ONE week of my daughter using this (only under supervision) , a quarter of the screen has gone black, and multiple dvds haven’t worked in this that we bought brand new along with this player. Very disappointing considering what I paid. I’ll be returning it sometime this week, unfortunately I live two hours away from the nearest store and returning it online was obnoxious so I have to make the trip there .

Received on Tues, returned to ups the next day,i wanted something with rechargeable battery,the power cord has to be attached to view movies.Claims to be $119 for sale $89.Cheap plastic more like $29.00 if that much.No it's so cheap couldn't justify my $89 so will find something at least solid. screen cheap looking colors not sharp.

I purchased this DVD player to use at home but in locations other than where the television lives. I use it plugged into household electricity so don't know how well it works on battery power. I like that it is light-weight so truly portable. The screen is a nice size so I can see details in the picture easily, a real advantage if I am watching an instructional video. The sound is of reasonable quality, but the maximum volume is fairly soft without earphones. (My hearing is normal.) In general, it is a simple machine that works well so is good value for the price.

We used this mounted to the rear of my large car's headrest to entertain the kid on a long drive, and I'm pretty sure he felt like he was sitting in a movie theater since this is so big. The player is basic without many options, isn't the highest resolution and had occasional problems when we hit bumps, but a toddler was quiet for a long trip, so I can't complain too much. Battery life exceeded the 2-hour movie he watched (without headphones-volume turned halfway up), but I have no idea how much life it had left before plugging it in. Occasionally, a bump in the road would cause it to skip and start the movie back from the beginning which was a pain, but the remote made finding the right scene again pretty easy. We'll use it again on long drives. If you've got a small car or backseats, this might be too big of a player/screen. The size could also be an issue since it's easier to kick and make the movie skip if you've got a toddler. Next time, we'll try downloading a movie digitally and try that instead.

The Sylvania 13.3 Portable DVD Player has met my expectations. I bought it about one month ago and have watched several movies on it at my home. The picture quality and sound are good. Most of the DVDs I watched, I rented from the local town library. A few times a picture would freeze. At first I thought there was something wrong with the DVD player. On closer examination, I noticed several scratches on the DVD. I found that if I cleaned the DVD by wiping the rented DVD with a wet tissue, this would help eliminate picture freezes. I do not have any problem with DVDs I purchased because there are no scratches. I also found out that when I return rented DVDs to the library, I should let the librarian know if there were any scratches on the DVD that made the picture freeze. The library has a "DVD buffer" that cleans up the DVD. I have not used the DVD in my car since I am almost always the driver. In summary, after one month of use, I am satisfied with my purchase.

Portable easy to take on road trips. Wish the battery lasted longer.

I love it thank you for the purchase. It is really nice to have.

I got this to help my Dad who has early onset dementia because he loves watching movies on his computer - but had a hard time remembering which buttons to press on the computer - and he would like to watch movies in different rooms in the house - I thought this would be perfect for him - however the buttons needed a little more prompting than he was capable - and it was a little confusing for him to use - the portability was excellent - and the weight of the machine could not be lighter - however - we still needed to put post-it prompts to what buttons to press to keep it going - Also - the volume on the machine was not loud enough - but he does need hearing aids - I did hook up portable speakers and that seemed to help. Good product - but not excellent.

Very hood portable DVD player. Great screen size! But I did return my initial DVD player because it turned off several times while I was watching it. No problems after a month with my second player.

This player displays a beautiful picture, has good sound quality and is very lite weight. The only drawback is that it takes 4 to 6 hours to charge and only plays for 2 hours so if your watching a long movie past 2 hours it will shut off.

I bought this for my elderly parents. They have a difficult time twitching from cable to dvd playing. They also have difficulty using different remotes or small buttons. This only plays Dvds. All you have to do is put the dvd in and hit the large easy to read buttons; perfection. My mom missed her yoga classes with covid 19 & can now watch yoga on dvds. This screen is a nice size for a portable DVD player. My parents can bring it into their bedroom to watch something different or I thought they could bring it with them for longer doctors visits or car rides. They told me they did not want it but they are very happy with the gift and use it daily or so they say.

This is a very good portable DVD player and the image on the screen looks great. We bought it for my 6 year old son and it’s worked great. It dropped in the car (only a 2 foot drop off the seat) onto a carpeted floor and it cracked the screen. As always, GeekSquad is required for kid purchases and we are buying another one. Just be careful with drops and rough handling.
