Product Description

The Pioneer PDV-LC10 is the first portable from Pioneer, with a ground-breaking 14.5CM screen! Comfortable enough to hold on your knee, this light-weight portable gives the most amazing picture for such a small portable unit. Ideal for train and plane journeys, the Pioneer PDV-LC10 is a must for any traveler or those who are just pushed for space.A high-precision Twin Wave Laser Pickup is used to read out signals from the disc. It features two laser diodes - one with a 650 nm wavelength for DVD, and the other with 780 nm for CD and Video CD. Since the optimum wavelength is automatically selected and used for each format, data is read with the highest precision. Pioneer's unique mechanism also allows playback of CD-R discs. The Pioneer PDV-LC10 features convenient GUI, Basic/Expert Mode selection and SetUp Navigator (enhanced Help function).

Amazon.com Review

The slick Pioneer PDV-LC10 is one of the smallest portable DVD players available. The player sports a 7-inch diagonal active-matrix LCD panel that satisfies traveling video enthusiasts and, alternately, serves as a screen for portable presentations. You can operate the LC10 for up to 3.5 hours (a longer period of time than competing brands offer) on the supplied NiMH battery before the battery needs recharging.

Pioneer thoughtfully provides all the necessary hookup cables and accessories, including a miniplug-style optical cable for connecting the DVD player to a Dolby Digital/DTS processor or audio-video receiver. In fact, when it comes to music, the LC10 is among the best sounding portable CD players we've auditioned. As a stand-alone DVD player, with the supplied optical miniplug connected to an audio-video receiver and the S-video cable hooked up to a big-screen TV, we were extremely impressed with the Pioneer's audio quality, both in DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound.

The PDV-LC10 includes a pair of built-in stereo speakers, which are fine for audiovisual business presentations, but are of little value for movie-watching enjoyment. Fortunately, the LC10's 24-bit digital-to-analog converter delivers superb stereo sound quality through its miniplug headphone jack.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the Pioneer's LCD picture quality. Although the 6-inch wide (7-inch diagonal) screen serves up good color balance with natural flesh tones, its resolution is not on par with competing models. Picket fences show up as staggered steps instead of vertical slats. Overall picture detail lacks depth, with the edges around objects and actors breaking apart. Motion detail is also below average; in crowd scenes, people look like colorful artifacts rather than moving bodies. The LC10 also suffers from poor off-axis uniformity. We had to adjust the angle of the screen just right in order to produce an acceptable picture.

Of course, this is a portable LCD player. Setting aside our high videophile expectations, the LC10 is more than acceptable for enjoying DVD videos on an airplane or in a comfortable hotel suite. The Pioneer holds up well under difficult ambient lighting conditions, offering good contrast and no "hot spotting," where the lower-middle portion of the screen appears washed out.

What the LC10 lacks in screen resolution, it makes up for with its smart design. Pioneer opted to use a flat-black coating for the inside panel and screen frame, significantly reducing the reflection and glare that are prevalent in competing models. We like the laptop computer-style control-panel button, which allows you to perform all the basic functions, including accessing the onscreen menu and setting up the configuration options. A thumb-size up/down, left/right cursor and enter button make navigating a snap, so you don't have to spend a lot of time setting up before you can enjoy a DVD video. The LC10 also has small thumb-operated dials below the screen for color and brightness adjustments, plus you can change the screen size from 4:3 to 16:9 with the touch of a button.

The svelte remote control that comes with this portable DVD player is a nice touch. It runs on a miniature ni-cad battery and allows you to operate all functions, including CD and DVD programming options.

Build quality is average. The player itself is solid and sturdy, but the plastic encased battery pack seems a bit on the thin side--no doubt to lighten the overall weight of the player, which feels heavier than its competitors when the battery is attached.

From a laptop point of view, Pioneer's PDV-LC10 is a comfortable fit. Its screen serves up an acceptable picture with good color rendition and superb sound quality through the headphone output. If smart ergonomics and an intelligent portable design are more important to you than video resolution, the LC10 will give you many hours of pleasure. --Eric Gill

Pros:

Good color rendition
Excellent sound quality through external output and headphone jack
Great ergonomics
Easy to set up and use
All necessary cables, battery, and adapters are supplied
Flat-black inside panel and screen frame reduce reflectivity

Cons:

Below-average video resolution
Mediocre sound from built-in speakers

Awful.......2002-05-11

I liked this unit for about two hours...then a dead pixel group appeared in the middle of the screen. I checked the web and I should have been forewarned, this is typical of this unit.

Therefore, back it goes to Amazon.com.

I have not had ONE portable DVD unit from any manufacturer last more than 6 months. I give up on portable DVD.

just by a great set of headphones.......2002-01-18

For the price and portabilty.................this one is a winner! I travel all the time and simply have an excellent pair of headphones to make my movies just as enjoyable as my home theater system. And yes......it is true that the 7" screen could be a "little" more precise, but the big flic is that this is a PORTABLE machine/aka "toy" to make my travels more comfortable. Do yourself a favor, keep focused on "how" you will use the portable dvd player and then simply buy the best set of user friendly headphones you can afford (I personally use the Koss Porta Pro (folds small...takes up little to no space) and my 3 y/o uses the Koss Porta Pro Jr:). AND REMEMBER....... how many hotel room television sets have home theater sound and huge flat screens?!! (Yes, my 3y/o watches Disney on extended trips, pass back the player, plug in the auto adapter and.....VOILA!........."I spy does get old after a while:)

Good features but broken in a year.......2001-05-15

I bought this device last year and was definitely impressed with its capability/features considering its size. Here are some things that future buyers might take into consideration: (1) The speakers are not that good (I have to use a separate headphones with it) (2) try to check out what is Pioneers warranty regarding dead pixels (3) check out your other devices (TV, Audio receivers) connectivity for you might need to buy extra cables to enjoy the Dolby Digital/DTS features. The major drawback for me is after having the device for a little more than a year, the player is having a problem playing (won't play, stops intermittently). Considering that i don't use the player to play other media (only DVD), and all DVDs played with it are new DVDs.

This is my favorite piece of equipment.......2001-02-17

The LC10 is completely, uterly, hopelessly, rediculously, awesome. It has excellent screen quality, the built in speakers do the job but, I would recomend getting a pair of nice headphones and maybe a headphone jack splitter to use with it. Extra batteries are a little expensive but they're worth it. With my extra battery I can get 7 hours of play time out of my player. The controls are intuitive, and easy to follow. This is just a well designed, well though out piece of equipment that is a god send to have. It also looks great when hooked up to a large tv.

Why can't I buy a second battery?.......2001-01-21

DVD player works great but is useless without having two batteries. I can't seem to find where to buy a backup. Do not buy it unless you want to be caught in a long plane flight without a backup battery and your kids are in the middle of a movie.

It's not awesome, but what do you expect for this price? It's a decent, well-made camera though that will take good pictures.

Tasco Cool F/X Porro Binocular.......2001-09-26

In the pass three months, I brought four binoculars ( Bushnell 16 X 32 Folding Roof Prism Powerview Compact Binoculars, Bushnell 7 - 15 X 25 Powerview Compact Zoom Binoculars, Bushnell 10X25 Powerview Binoculars, and Tasco Cool F/X 8x21).
Comparing the above, the Tasco Cool F/X 8x21 has the best sharpness and precision. Due to it being very lightweight, it does not cause your hand to shake, and thus the image is more stable. Because of it's unique design, you can hold and focus with one hand. that! I think is a plus. I have already placed on order for another. It's a great buy.

Tasco.......2001-07-27

I find it is a very interesting product and looks good but the Tasco 8x21 Radio Binocular is much better and you are getting more for your money.
