(More customer reviews)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. The rated life of the battery is an impressive six hours, but you are more likely to get closer to five hours of use.
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 is only one actual button, for the 'Enter' function, and it can be a pain to operate. 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. While you can jump scenes, forward or backward, you can't fast forward or fast reverse, using the controls on the unit, which is definitely inconvenient. 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 quite high, good for movies and 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 major hot spots 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, just pick your color. And in case there are any problems, get it from Amazon.
