I bought this dvd player, only to find that is was NOT suplied with a
battery. We contacted Argos, but they insisted that there had been a
battery and practically acused us of `stealing it`. They refused to offer
us a replacement battery and I was wondering if anyone knew an outlet
where I could find one? If so please email me at: pixxidust06@yahoo.co.uk
All in all the product is excellent, the picture quality is superb and the
sound is clear, definatly worth the money; but I would warn you NOT to
purchase it from Argos!

I bought this from argos about 4 months ago. It works ok, although i wasnt
to happy about the battery idea, it sticks out and gives the player some
weight. Nice sharp bright screen, bit loud when playing dvds though!
Recommended for the price, and not bad overall!

This is a prtable DVD player and as a product it does what it says on the
box. But like anything else, it is the `How` that has to be considered.
The workmanship, if you can call it that nowdays, and feel, look, function
etc of the product. It`s made in China by the way, which may or may not
be something to consider.
Ok, functioning wise it does well in playing DVDs though I have found it a
little noisy when spinning DVDs. It is able to fast forward upto 16x
through a DVD, has a cute little remote control with rubbery buttons which
i liked. Sound from the built in speakers is diabolical, but it`s not so
bad when you plug in your own headphones. The screen is nice and bright,
but it`s been made with one of those screens where the best image is
viewed when directly in front of it. If it is slightly at a slight angle
the picture changes. I`m sure you know what i mean. It`s the same
problem that early flat screen monitors had.
Construction quality unfortunately I feel lets it down. It has a cheap
plastic touch to it, and the rechargable battery attachment that hangs on
the base back of it has been designed as an after thought. It makes it
cumbersome and gives it a heaviness. The buttons on the DVD to control it
if you dont use the remote are cheap and tacky as well. It`s like all all
the knowledge of making christmas cracker toys has been used on these
buttons. The electrical adaptor works, what more can be said, except
again if you have to plug it into the mains then it takes something away
from the concept of portable DVD lol. Cables everywhere.
Given a choice, it`s not something I`d choose unless I`d viewed the other
players available out there and then decided this was best, unfortunately
it certainly does not fit in that category.

I bought this for my son`s birthday form Argos for £99. Firstly, it seems
to be very well made with a quality feel to it. It is supplied with a
mains adaptor, remote control (with proper buttons) and a detachable
battery which hangs somewhat ungainly out the back of the machine. There
are no earphones or other cables supplied in the box. The screen is sharp
with bright, natural colours, although sound quality (as on most of these
players) is dreadful though the built in speakers.
Note that the Argos catalogue states that there is a car charging lead
supplied, but when I paid for it in the store I was told that this is in
fact an error in the catalogue so I also bought the optional accessory
pack for £20 which includes a carry case & straps, a car charging lead, 2
headphones with a twin socket splitter, some AV leads and a SCART adapter.
The car charging lead however has the wrong connector for this player and
is therefore useless, but contrary to what Argos told me, there was in
fact a car lead supplied with my PDV313! Note that when the player is in
the case it is a very tight fit, the remote control does not work and none
of the connections are accessible. Fairly limited use but it is OK for
storage I suppose.
The PDV313 has an AV in/out switch which in theory allows you to plug in
an XBOX or PS2. I have been unable so far to get a decent picture or any
sound when connecting an XBOX. I need to look into this later!
Overall, this is an excellent machine that hopefully will last longer than
the Proline model that it replaces! Recommended.
BTW - Between the Proline and this Hitachi, I also purchased a Goodmans
`twin screen` portable DVD from Makro. This is in their current offers
list (Makro Mail) but BEWARE - they do not come with a battery or mains
adapter/charger (only a car lead). In addition, Makro do not have in
stock, nor do they know if or when the will get any of the battery &
charger packs so don`t buy one unless you want to use it only in the
car.
