Customer Reviews

Great on the go Portable DVD/CD/JPEG/MPEG Player
I had been looking at the previous Sony model that had over 300 reviews and CNET had it as their choice in the portable DVD products in the 7"-10" screen sizes.

I am very please with the latest Sony model, what has changed is they made the screen an inch larger and placed touch buttons on the newer model. This FX 930 looks more modern, sleek although it is a little larger.

I am very pleased as I have played various DVD's, using full and normal settings that you can select for wide or standard screen formats. I have played many CD's from the actual artists to my own made CD's at home and played music files from my PC and taken along photos like a photo album when I want to share or have those close to me with me so to speak when traveling.

Sound is fine for the little speakers but 99% of the time I use really good headphones and you get two jacks so you can share when sitting with someone on a plane, train, or in the car as long as you are not driving. Had to toss that in! ;)

It is not too heavy compared to many, certainly much less than a laptop and still small enough screen size to know you are not luggin around a laptop. Battery life is standard, I have it run out yet but have not been on pure battery for 6 hours yet either. I try to have it plugged in most of the time during use and for the car you get a car charger included in the box.

Being it is smaller it makes it more mobile for your travels whether local or abroad.

I have been using this item non-stop almost without any issues. Could it be improved, yes, almost any product can be and as with any electronics they seem to improve with almost each iteration.

With this said, you can save $30-$40 by buying the previous model. It is an inch smaller but the screen resolution is the same and many of the features are almost identical.

Take it for a test drive and remember you've got 30 days to test it and if it is not what you like or expect, return it and try another, but choices on these products are quite limited since many use their PSP, iPhone, or iPods to watch movies/videos etc.

High Quality in a Small Package
PROS:
1) High quality 800 x 480 Resolution
2) Six Hour Battery
3) Nice Full Function Remote Control
4) 180 Swivel and Flip Screen
5) Advanced Soft Touch Keys

CONS:
None that I can find!


It is well made and the picture quality is amazing for a portable device, but it doesn't surprise me since it is a Sony. The 9" screen is much bigger than my last DVD player and it makes it easier to watch movies on a long car trip. Looking at this Sony, it is Obvious the resolution is much better! 800 x 480 Resolution shows every tiny detail in the movie. I had another brand DVD player that was not that old, and it was very noisy, at best gave me only 2 hours of battery and it's since quit working. This Sony is build so well I have a feeling it will last for a long time. I think one (of the Many) of my favorite features is the "Advanced Soft Touch Keys" where you just slide your finger over the volume bar and it raises or lowers the volume, or you can tap the plus or minus sign to go up and down by one number. All the major controls are at the bottom of the screen right were it's easiest to get to, and they all are the soft touch buttons. I even LOVE the fact that they made the finish to look very stylish BUT it resists fingerprints, smudges and minor scratches! (Very smart whoever designed this!) I actually am thinking of going back to Target where I purchased this, and buying another one for our other car. I might even get a few of these for Christmas gifts, I love it that much. So, if you want a super high quality Nine inch, high resolution screen, Portable DVD player.. you Must buy this Sony DVP-FX930. Oh, and one very important thing.. this player runs whisper quiet but you can move it all around and upside down and it never skips a beat! Sony even designed the removable / rechargeable 6 hour Lithium-Ion battery super thin, so it keeps this player compact and very portable. Also it charges fully in about 6 hours! Sony also supplies a very nice Car charger along with the nice A/C charger. The full function remote comes ready with batteries included, and it's well designed similar to a TV remote for ease of use.

I highly recommed this Sony DVD player!

Not a big improvement over the FX820
Pro:
long battery life
louder/better speakers than the FX820

Con:
loud noises when the drive is seeking
larger screen is not always better

This is a good unit but not great. The screen being 9 inches is one inch bigger than the FX820 which is 8 inches. However the resolution is the same on both units so the image is actually more pixel-ated in a bigger screen. Please consider this before buying.

Good Luck.
