Summary:
I looked at the Panasonic models and also a cheap AudioVox unit and none of them compare to the quality of not only the construction of this unit but the 7in. picture quality.Pioneer supplies everything needed to get started other than a carrying case which is a must.
I found a carrying case for my new Pioneer LC-10 on the internet at www.caselogic.com. These are the people that make CD cases and what have you. However they make a case for portable dvd players. The cost is 29.95 plus shipping.
Although the LC-10 is an expensive little toy it's a must for those who travel alot as I do. It's great on a plane trip. Anyone considering making a purchase of a portable dvd player pay the extra bucks and go for the best that's presently on the market. It only hurts once.

Summary:
I bought this player on a whim. I basically wanted a new "toy". This unit ROCKS! I *love* the 7" 16x9 widescreen! The built-in speakers deliver surprisingly GREAT sound! I bought some Sony sutdio monitor headphones to go with it and I feel like I'm at the movies while I'm traveling.

I haven't had ANY problems playing ANY DVDs. I connected it to my Pioneer VSX-24TX receiver using the A/V output and it looked GREAT on my TV! I've been taking to my friends' (who don't have DVD players) homes so they can see what a DVD would look like on their TV. One friend was truly impressed with the clarity of the picture on his 36" Sony rear projection TV.

This is truly one remarkable unit to be SOOO small......

If you have the means, I highly recommend getting one. Even though I really didn't have the means, I bit hte bullet anyway! :-)

Peace.....
