Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
One of the most convenient and affordable portable DVD players, the DVD-LV57 is also an ideal travel companion for enjoying both movies and music. Battery life, once the biggest drawback in portable DVD players, now holds for five hours of playing time using the supplied battery pack--sufficient for watching both The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me on a cross-country or international flight.
Small speakers are built in, and the DVD-LV57 plays CDs, too--and not just the commercial kind. You can burn your own in MP3 and take those along for the ride as well (playability may vary depending on contents and discs). Screen size is a mere 5 inches diagonally (standard is 7), but what it lacks in widescreen prowess, it makes up for in portability and affordability.
If this will also be serving as your home player, it's well equipped for that with a 27 MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog converter and Cinema Mode for vivid luminance and color with improved detail even in dark scenes. An optical digital-audio output lets you connect the DVD-LV57 with your surround-decoding audio receiver for 5.1-channel sonic immersion, while an onboard dialogue enhancer emphasizes the center-channel sound to heighten intelligibility. Virtual surround sound simulates a surround effect through two channels, either headphones or home speakers.
Wherever you're watching, you'll appreciate Panasonic's high-speed, smooth-motion scan, giving you five speeds (up to 100x) for crystal-clear scan quality while locating desired places on a disc. Rounding out the playback functions, chapter preview helps refresh your memory by showing you the first three seconds of each previously viewed chapter on a given disc--helpful if you've interrupted playback for any length of time.
Convenience features include an auto-recharge impulse for the rechargeable battery pack, a slim remote control, and a top-panel joystick.

Excellent Product,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic DVD-LV57 Portable DVD Player (Electronics)
This is one of the best DVD players out there. The picture-quality is great. Best of all is the battery length. I was able to watch TWO WHOLE MOVIES! With others I could only watch one DVD before having to recharge the battery. The remote is a great feature to have but I have rarly used it. The DVD player's sleek design is handy for travel. It is great to have for long flights or car-rides. I recommend this player to everyone. Its a great buy compared to DVD players priced in the high thousands. The quality is just as great also. A TOTALLY GREAT BUY!

Longest battery life, good picture, & lightweight.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic DVD-LV57 Portable DVD Player (Electronics)
I've used this DVD player during air and auto travel for the past 4 months. It is a solid performer and I can recommend it highly. Light weight, good picture quality, intuitive controls, and the longest lasting battery in the market--which is more important than picture size since you cannot recharge batteries during a flight. My only beef with the unit is that it has anemic speakers (as do all competing units) that are hard to hear over jet engines and auto noise. But since speakers would annoy others anyway, I simply use headphones and get better sound. The player puts out enough audio to drive a companion's headphones. The screen has an adequate acceptance angle to permit two viewers to see a good image during a flight. When used with a cheap RF video modulator (e.g. Radio Shack), the DVD player transmits a very high quality picture to the TV's available in motels & vacation homes.

I just got my DVD-LV57 and its working great. My first thought was this little thing isnt going to be as fascinating as a standard DVD, and i was right... its much better. Great quality look, i like it better than the DVD-LV60, even though the screen is smaller.
