Panasonic DVD-LS82 8.5" Portable DVD Player with Headrest Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I finally decided to get a portable DVD player as I had some long car rides coming up and a 6 and 11 year old.My first forays into research were discouraging as every model seemed to have its admirers and detesters.This version didn't have much written about it, but Panasonic seemed to have a decent reputation.I was actually going to by the LG model I saw, but it was so new, I had no info, and while at the store, the clerk couldn't figure out how to work it.Then I was going to get the Sony, but the screen glare with the screen protector on it didn't appeal to me.So, I grabbed this one and it has worked like a charm.It feels sturdy, has a great picture, and the sound is quite nice.I don't understand the person who couldn't hear it with the headphones on.Maybe he had bad headphones, and there is also a menu on the player that allows you to choose headphone sound, although my headphones worked when it was on regular sound.Plus the first night, something spilled over the closed player and sat there till morning, I was a bit upset, but the thing worked fine, no glitches. As for having no remote, thank goodness for that, one less thing to lose in the car. My 6 year old could operate it just fine by pushing the buttons on the player top.
Also, Costco sells this same one in a package, the Panasonic LS-850 (which I couldn't find anything on), but it only has a 6 hour battery life.The LS 80 is also the same player, just a shorter battery life.I know this because the manual for this player includes all three models, but lists their battery times differently.In all the Costco version comes with more and is cheaper, but you lose out on the battery life.
