## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long of a run time on a single charge**
A: Greetings Brian,- Battery Times:3.00 HOURS battery time with default backlight setting 10 out of 1-20 (full screen).3.50 HOURS battery time with backlight setting 5 out of 1-20 (full screen).3.80 HOURS battery time with backlight setting 1 out of 1-20 (full screen).Best Regards,Neil

**Q: is it all regions?**
A: To play dvd's from all labeled regions (0-9), you must buy Sony CODEFREE DVP-FX980 International Version, currently available through Amazon at $259.  Otherwise, only commercial disks labeled "ALL" or "1" will play on the less expensive DVP-FX980.

**Q: The Sony PFX970 shows subtitles but not closed captions. Does the newer PFX80 show either subtitles or CC or both?**
A: I have never used Closed Captioning, so I'm not exactly sure what to watch for, but I played with the controls and checked the Operating Instructions.In the Operating Instructions, under Language Setup, you see four choices: (1.) OSD (On-Screen Display): Switches the display on the Screen; (2.) Disc Menu (DVD VIDEO only): Switches the language for the disc's menu; (3.) Subtitle (DVD VIDEO only): Switches the subtitle language; and (4.) Audio (DVD VIDEO only): Switches the language of the sound track.  Nothing is mentioned about Closed Captioning anywhere in the Operating Instructions.I played two DVDs, the first stated Captioning on the artwork.  The first DVD, on the main menu under Languages, had Captioning, and when it was selected, Captioning was shown on the screen, including non-speech elements and background sounds such as "music playing" (I think this is what you are looking for.). The other DVD had no Captioning, but it did have an "English for the hearing-impaired" option under subtitles, and it showed English subtitles when selected, but no non-speech elements, dialog only.  The PFX980, it seems, will let you choose from whatever options are on a DVD.  I do not watch TV stations/channels/cable/etc.  I only use the TV for DVDs, so I can't comment on what happens with any other input (Which may be what you wanted to know about.).  Hope this helps.

**Q: Does this unit have built-in stereo speakers? If so, how is the sound quality and volume?**
A: Yes, the unit has built-in stereo speakers, and the sound quality is good, considering that it is a dvd player.  We have had other brands of dvd players, and our Sony definitely has the best sound.  The volume is more dynamic and it can be fairly loud without sounding distorted.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great little portable DVD player.
*by B***N on March 4, 2013*

I bought this for a relative who has the use of only one hand. So I immediately checked out how easy it would be to turn on and operate with only one hand. No problem. I also ordered a different brand at the same time, so I was able to view them side by side. This Sony player had far and way the better picture quality and features. The sound quality of the Sony was also better, BUT the volume is VERY low. I think headphones may be necessary to clearly hear this player, if there's the least little background noise. The Sony played both commercial DVDs and those I'd recorded myself, although the sound was even lower on the ones I'd recorded. I didn't have that volume problem (at least to much extent) on the other one. I opted to keep this player because of ease in operating it with one hand and the awesome picture and sound, and just told my relative she'd have to use her earphones. If you need a player where you don't use earphones, this probably is not the player for you. As many others have mentioned, the cord is WAY short! What's up with that? We tried using a different cord, but it didn't fit. My relative will probably just leave it plugged in, since she doesn't have time to charge and then watch a movie. She says the cord barely reaches her plug from her bed (which she is confined to), but it does reach. If I were going to get a player for myself, this would be it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Portable DVD Player
*by L***I on June 9, 2013*

I got this DVD player for my husband to use while he's a work. He has a lot of down time in between VERY busy, stressful periods of work where he needed something he could use/watch and decompress. He's been using this DVD player for about two months now and he loves it. The picture is very clear and the screen is just big enough that you don't feel like you are squinting at a tiny ipod or the like, but not so big that it becomes obtrusive or feels like you might as well be carrying around a labtop. It is very light weight and has held up very well being toted around, thrown into his work truck (and I'm sure bounced around inside), and probably dropped a few times as well (I got him the Case Logic WDEC-10 EVA Molded DVD player case to carry it around in). Sound is also great for a portable DVD player. He loves the fact that it has a car charger (again, perfect for when he's using it). I think the only thing he mentioned was that he wished that it had a longer battery life for the rare occasion that he was not somewhere that he could either plug into a car charger or wall outlet (I think it might only have a 2 hour battery life).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little player
*by J***Y on January 13, 2014*

I got this with an Amazon card I got for Xmas. My PC doesn't have a DVD drive in it, and it's clunky to use an external. I bought this because it had generally good reviews. So far (3 weeks) I've got no complaints and am very happy with it.Pros:Bright and clear screenWide viewing angle - my wife & I will be able to watch it together on a planeLong battery lifeSurprisingly good sound from the speakersPlays from memory sticks in addition to DVDsCons (tentatively):Only 1 headphone jack - but I can just get a splitterLarge remote - it's a full size remote. I'd have preferred a small one that would fit in a slot on the playerShort AC cordButtons - so far they're working fine but they're the kind you just tough & I've had some bad luck with that style in the pastAs you can see, my "cons" are pretty minor. I would definitely recommend it.
