Product Description

Portable DVD takes on a new meaning with this sleek and light player - thanks to the new ultra thin lithium battery and streamlined player design. With a 7.0-inch wide LCD display, built-in speaker and 3 hours of playback time, the PDV-LC20 offers fantastic DVD on the road or at home... anywhere you might be. The PDV-LC20 features Pioneer's Exclusive Viter-Bi RF Decoding process for improved DVD error correcting capability, Accurate Digital Servo for precise data reading and Automatic Gain Level Adjustment that minimizes jitter of individual disks.

Amazon.com Product Description

Thin and lightweight (under 2 pounds), the PDV-LC20 lets you watch DVD movies on the move with superb reproduction that includes a high-end audio DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for crystalline audio, Dolby Digital, and DTS surround processing. It also has a twin-wave (CD-R/RW) pickup and 7-inch active-matrix LCD screen.

Video features
The PDV-LC20's active-matrix TFT (thin film matrix) screen delivers bright, highly detailed pictures with remarkable color resolution, purity, and detail. Anti-glare and anti-reflection coatings further ensure that the screen is viewable over a wide viewing angle.

A trio of Pioneer technologies work to maximize disc-read accuracy and error-correction capabilities: Viter-Bi RF Decoding, Accurate Digital Servo, and Automatic Gain Level Adjustment.

The player offers three picture modes (Cinema, Animation, Standard), DVD resume playback (after stop), bit rate display, and selectable background colors.

Audio features
For fully immersive sound at home, the player outputs both DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround formats via a digital-audio bit stream (which is capable of passing a 96 kHz, 24-bit PCM signal when permitted by the disc author). Onboard stereo speakers provide convenient listening without headphones or home theater hookup.

A twin-wave laser pickup reads both standard and recordable CDs, though the pickup may not play some CD-Rs, depending on the condition of the discs and pickup.

Connections
Twin headphone jacks mean convenient listening for you and a travel partner, while an optical digital-audio output facilitates home theater hookup with a DTS/Dolby Digital surround receiver. A stereo analog audio output is also available using an included interconnect.

This cable also lets you hook the player up to a television using either composite-video or S-video transmission.

Other features
Format compatibility extends to DVD-Video, DVD-RW, video CD, audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. Condition Memory recalls setup conditions such as language, subtitle, aspect ratio, and playback mode for 15 discs; Last Memory recalls the last scene played and the setup conditions for five DVDs; auto power off conserves battery life; and a 32-key credit-card-style remote control grants hands-free operation.

The player includes a three-hour lithium battery, whose charge time is a mere 2.5 hours using a Quick Charge command. A trilingual onscreen display lets you configure the player in English, Spanish, and French. The warranty covers parts and labor for one year.

Beautifully made, and Upgradeable!.......2004-09-26

Pioneer PDV-LC20 is a very well-made machine. It can play both factory-stamped and recordable DVD's. Same for audio compact disks. Extensive research has revealed that it can also be upgraded (for a reasonable fee by reputable non-factory service centers) to be multi-region and VCR Friendly. This is great for people who obtain DVD's from all regions of the world and need to connect the PDV-LC20 through the VCR because there is only one A/V input set (or only an RF connection) on the TV/monitor. The PDV-LC20 has a great picture, great lithium-ion battery pack, and two headphone jacks (great for sharing with a companion during airline flights). The overall quality, workmanship, and upgradeability make the PDV-LC20 a great value.

Gizzmo Knut.......2003-12-28

This is an excellent DVD Player for the money. The sound quality is a little above average but with a decent pair of noise canceling headphones this is an excellent companion on long flights or for the kids on long road trips. I should have purchased the extra battery thought for flights over 4 hours.

Excelent product.......2002-08-14

Great to keep children quiet during a car trip.

The best portable DVD player on the market.......2001-12-27

This is the best portable DVD currently. Forget the Panasonic, forget Sharp and even forget Sony. The Pioneer LC20 is the best around. The 7" LCD screen is crisp and sharp and more than good enough for the road. Having read a lot of reviews which gave the Panasonic machine superiority on the display, I can say that there in NO DIFFERENCE between the two. Frankly, you are not going to get HDTV quality viewing on the road anyway, are you? The second misconception is the battery life, Pioneer offers a 6.5 hour option over the Panasonic's 5 hours.
The DVD player itself if exceptional, Pioneer is renowned for making quality DVD players and this shows on the portable. Excellent for hooking up to TV's in hotel rooms.
The credit card remote control is user friendly and more portable than the Panasonic's.
Also the Pioneer beats the outdated Sony, I am a Sony fan but Sony needs to come out with a new model, if it is to get one over Pioneer.
Forget what the reviews say and save yourself some hassle.
You wont go wrong with Pioneer

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.
