Panasonic PD07 9.5" Portable DVD Player 7.5" Swivel Screen Black

Portable DVD player with swivel screen

The Panasonic PD07 is a portable DVD player built around a 7.5 inch swivel display that rotates 270 degrees and flips 180 degrees. It accepts CD, DVD, CD-R/RW, DVD±R/±RW and VCD/SVCD discs but does not support Blu-ray media. Media files such as AVI, VOB, MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC and JPG can be played from USB drives or SD cards up to 32 GB. A 3.5 mm headphone jack is provided for private listening. The unit includes a remote control and dual built-in speakers.

Families on the move and kids needing simple

This player suits parents who want a dedicated screen for car journeys without handing over a phone or tablet. The swivel screen can be mounted on a headrest for rear-seat viewing. The 2500 mAh battery delivers roughly four to six hours of playback, enough for two to three movies on a single charge. Buyers who need Blu-ray playback, streaming apps or a larger display should look elsewhere because the device is limited to standard-definition discs and local file formats.

Disc and file capacity with battery headroom

The drive reads most common CD and DVD recordable formats plus VCD and SVCD discs. USB and SD slots accept storage up to 32 GB for offline media libraries. The 800 by 480 resolution panel handles standard-definition video comfortably. Battery life tops out around six hours, so very long trips will require the included car charger to keep the player running.
