Dedicated to providing a full-bodied entertainment experience on the go, the portable M520P DVD/CD/MP3 player includes a 10.2-inch TFT LCD display that makes your movies look great, along with both built-in speakers and a headphone jack for private listening--all in an attractive pearl-colored housing. The all-in-one entertainment bundle is a great way to entertain kids in the backseat, keep yourself amused on long plane trips, or bide time in a hotel room on rainy days. Among the unit's favorite features are a selectable aspect ratio (4:3 and 16:9), which lets you view movies in traditional format or full widescreen depending on your taste; multi-angle playback, which shows select movie scenes from several angles (requires compatible DVD); and a multilingual dialogue option for listening (or reading subtitles) in a variety of different languages. More traditional functions include slow motion, multi-speed forward and reverse scan, track programming, and zoom.

Of course, DVDs are just one of the playback options, as the M520P also supports CD, CD-R/RW, HDCD, VCD, SVCD, DVD Audio, and Kodak Picture CD formats, along with MP3 and WMA files stored on a recordable CD. The variety of compatible formats is vastly superior to most portable DVD players, especially the DVD Audio and HDCD formats, both of which offer far better fidelity than audio CDs. To ensure the best possible audio performance, the M520P includes a built-in Dolby Digital decoder for DVD soundtracks, along with a Dolby/DTS SPDIF digital output that connects directly to 5.1-channel A/V receivers. By employing the latter option, users can enjoy full-bodied surround sound through their home theater system while watching films on the DVD player.

Additional features include an S-video and composite video output for connecting the DVD player to a larger TV, a built-in PAL/NTSC tuner for traditional cable reception, a full-function remote control, and a car adapter that lets you power the device through your vehicle's cigarette lighter plug. The M520P measures 10.83 by 1.46 by 7.68 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.
