Sony DVP-FX930 9-Inch Portable DVD Player

Bought this DVD player on Amazon in July 2009. Been doing great but am starting to get a black screen now when playing DVDs. Can still hear sound but the screen goes black. Is anyone else having this issue? Am surprised I am already having problems after only a couple of months. Contacting Sony now to request a replacement.

I own this model in red. I looked at many models for a couple of weeks before purchasing this portable DVD player. I am absolutely thrilled with it! I knew I would be as soon as I opened the box, but decided to wait until after our vacation to see if it held up. It is FANTASTIC!!! First of all, the picture quality is awesome - as is the volume. It gets LOUD. I bought it for the purpose of keeping an 18 month old entertained on a plane ride and on a driving tour of California; it exceeded my expectations. I first had to use it in the airport waiting for the plane, and I am not joking or exaggerating when I say that it received compliments from people around us about the picture and sound quality (I didn't have the headphones in use at that time). On the plane, the sound is so good that we could hear with or without headphones, but for courtesy's sake, we used our headphones (had to purchase separately).

Aside from the AV OUTputs, it also has AV INputs so you can check out your mini-DV camcorder or digital still camera recordings while on the road on a screen that's a lot bigger than what your camera offers. To me - that was a major plus. Purchase price includes AC Charger, DC power supply for car, special AV patch cord, Remote Control.

My televisions (2 in my adult life) have always been Sony, so when I decided to purchase a portable DVD player, I shopped around, but in the end "spent a little more" to have the quality of a Sony.
