Philips Electronics India Ltd, a subsidiary of Netherlands-based Royal Philips Electronics, has introduced the Mobile DVD Player PET 710. Philips is the first consumer durable brand in the country to offer a product in this category.

Sit back, relax and immerse in movies on the go with the ultra cool and compact PET710 with 7-inch TFT LCD display. Enjoy your favorite DVD movies; savor your MP3-CD and CD music or playback your JPEG photos anytime, anyplace.

The rechargeable battery of the Philips PET 710 has a standby time of 2.5 hrs and also has a car cigarette outlet adaptor so that the battery can be charged while travelling in the car for unlimited entertainment. The built-in electronic skip protection helps avoid the video and audio "hiccups" that can arise from vibration and bumps often experienced while using your DVD player in a moving vehicle, says R Swaminathan, senior manager, Consumer Electronics.

The Philips Mobile DVD PET 710 plays virtually all formats like DVD, DVD+RW, DVD+R, picture CD, SVCD, video CD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3-CD. The functions on the Philips PET 710 include 'Disc Menu', 'Fast Backward', 'Fast Forward', 'Repeat', 'Shuffle Ploy', 'Slow Backward', 'Slow Forward', 'Zoom'. It also has a battery life indicator.

Some car brands offer high-quality, expensive, built-in DVD-based entertainment systems. The Philips Portable DVD PET 710, on the other hand, costs (a lot) less; can be used in multiple vehicles, then taken out of the car into the home, hotel, tent, bus, train, boat or waiting room and used with or without a big-screen TV. And, of course, their very portability makes them less susceptible to theft, points out the spokesman.

Swaminathan said the Philips Mobile DVD PET 710 can be connected to a home theatre. A 5.1 coaxial digital out makes connection to the home theatre decoder also very easy. It can be plugged into the TV, and used as a DVD player or used as CD portable in the car connected to your existing car deck through the car kit.
