Good Buy for the Money September 4, 2008
I purchased the Philips PET1030 last month before taking a long drive to North Carolina with my wife and 2 year old son. The primary purpose was to keep him entertained while sitting in the car for over 5 hours. The packaging of the unit was excellent in terms of protecting it during shipping. The unit is easy to operate although it can be difficult to see the control button labels in dim light conditions. The picture quality is superb and there is no problem with audio volume even with sigificant road noise above 55 mph. One of the main reasons I purchased this unit, aside from the large screen, was the inclusion of the car mount bracket. The bracket is easy to install and worked fine but it projects the DVD player almost 4" away from the back of seat. If a child is sitting in a car seat, he doesn't have to make to much of an effort to kick the player. Although I knew that the unit did not have the ability to restart a video from the last point viewed after turning it off, this would be a great feature to add. Overall, I would recommend this purchase if you are looking for a quality player at an affordable price.
 Great picture, great design with head rest fixing August 30, 2008
This DVD player not only looks extremly good - it is actully white from the outside - it has also a very sharp picture.
The screen is also not very reflective so that the picture is still good even with sun coming in from the side of the car. Other players use glossy screen's, which are horrible with any sunlight.
Ideal to use in a car for your kids.
Sure there are portable DVD player with even better resolution but they are missing the car mount. The head rest coming with the player is easy to use and doesn't wobble too much.
Very impressed so far. Battery life could be better and due to the shiny surfaces of all finishes you see finger prints quickly but in the overall picture that is not really worth a complain. All charging cables for car and standard outlet come with the player.
It even plays pictures and mp3's from an SD card. The tiny downside is that you can't choose the source. Everytime you have an SD card in the slot the DVD can't be played. Control buttons are directly below the screen and a remote control comes with it as well. The maximum volume is very high and the sound is very clear.
My rating is 4.5 to 5 overall.
streched image with 2.35:1 movies August 4, 2008
Hello,
I have purchased Philips PET 1030 player. I am very satisfied with it, however there is one problem. I can't get correct image with movies that have aspect ratio more than 16:9. Image is perfect when aspect ratio is 16:9, but when it's 2,35:1 the image gets stretched (people are slimmer).
Can't find the solution for that. Has anyone find a solution for that?
Thank you,
David
 Seems like a decent player with some flaws August 4, 2008
This seems to be a decent player. However, the mount on ours just broke a few days ago. Also, just recently, prior to the mount breaking, the screen would flip down every so often and the disc cover part would eject.
Now I need to find a new mount and perhaps tape the screen down so that it won't keep flipping down.

Unit has a good, sharp picture that can be viewed at an angle and the player's controls are easy to use. The headrest mount leaves something to be desired as it would not hold the player in place through a whole movie. Movement of the car as it traveled was enough to cause the mount to suddenly loosen it's grip and drop the player. I tried several different positions to no avail. The kids wound up holding the player on their laps.
