Pros:
Volume is loud
Cons:
none
We've owned a few portable DVD players and so far this is the best we've had. The picture is great and the volume is the loudest I've ever heard on a portable player. We drive across country a couple of times a year and sometimes I let my child watch movies in bed. I've only had this a week but so far I'm thrilled with my choice. I would definitely recommend this product.

I've had this product for1-3 months
Pros:
small size, great sreen, easy to use
Cons:
bad battery life, no external or extra battery availalble to extend use, cable connector wire needs extra wire to use!
The unit looks good with great screen. BUT now the battery last only 4 hrs AT MOST! I bought this for long airline trips and can barely watch 2 movies! Sony does not make an extrra external battery that could extend the view time (unlike the previous model)! Furthermore, Sony doesn't include all the connector wires needed to attach to a cable tv so you can't use this unless you BUY an additionalcable attachment wire, NOT easy to find these and Sony DOES NOT SELL THEM! I think this is all UNACCEPTABLE for a "portable" DVD player. Finally I found the correct cable attachment wire at B&H photo after searching for days in New York City. There I was told to buy the PANASONIC instead because it has 9 hrs. battery life, correct cable wires AND external batteries for more view time! HELLO SONY WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR PRODUCT LINE????

Pros:

Cons:
Not right product
This is NOT a swivel screen DVD. The picture on item is not what you get! the 980 is bulky and does not swivel. The picture is of the 930 (which I owned before and loved!) Sony needs to change the picture!

Pros:
Quick shipping
Cons:
False advertising on website
I ordered this online based on the photo and was excited until it came and saw that the FX980 *DOES NOT* have the swivel head as shown on the photo and is exactly the same control set up as the cheaper FX780. Poor customer service too because to return this I have to pay the return shipping.

Although I bought this product 2 years ago, I've only used it occasionally. Thus, I didn't expect it to give up the ghost so quickly and so abruptly, It looks nice enough, and the design is reasonably intuitive, but I have no sense they're built to last.
