Manufacturer description
The DVD-LS82 is a portable DVD player with 8.5" diagonal Widescreen LCD, multi-format playback, multi-angle viewing and headrest mounting bracket/car DC adaptor.
The large 8.5" widescreen display pivots for multi-angle viewing so you can adjust the position for optimum comfort and image quality. You can also adjust the screen brightness to get the best view of your DVDs in all kinds of light conditions. You get beautiful images while watching movies on a dimly lit airplane, or when you're relaxing in the sun at a resort or other outdoor spot.
When you're in the mood for a movie, this versatile player can play back many different types of prerecorded DVDs, including DVD-RAM/-R/-RW and DVD+R/+RW discs. If you want to give your eyes a rest and listen to some tunes instead, this portable DVD player handles lots of the most popular audio formats around, including CDs, MP3s, CD-R/RW discs and WMA files.
The DVD-LS82 comes with a built-in rechargeable battery that gives you a full 12 hours of playback without having to worry about running out of power on long trips. That's long enough to watch up to six DVD movies on a single charge while flying from New York to L.A. and back, so leave the AC adaptor at home and forget about recharging at your hotel.

re Spectacularby fbrennin - November 12, 2007
Pros: followup to 'spectacular' post
Cons: followup to 'spectacular' post
Review:
The post from palmbeachliz is inaccurrate per the panasonic website http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Video/DVD-Recorders-Players/Portable-DVD-Players/model.DVD-LS82.S_11002_7000000000000005702
the unit can accept 240V in Europe, so inly an adaptor would be necessary, not a transformer.

Great For all Usesby tonyflo04 - June 10, 2007
Pros: This unit plays all types for media (DVD+R DL, DVD +/- R/RW), but most of all it playes DIVX with multiple audio tracks. The 12-Hour Battery rocks.
Cons: The fact that there is no Remote Control with this unit
Review:
This is the perfect device for the business traveler. It has a 12-Hour battery for those long-haul flights or long layovers at an airport. The ability to hook this unit up to many hotel TV's is absolutley awesome. The most important plus to this device is its multi media types it plays (DVD+R DL, DVD+/-R/RW, etc) and the ability to play Divx files even ones with multiple audio streams. The screen tilt feature is very cool as well, esoecially on the plae when the person in front of you jacks their seat all the way back. If this player has one flaw....it is that it doesnt have a remote contol (this is the only reason it is a 9 instead of a 10). I would highly recommend this player to anyone.

GREAT DVD PLAYER - VOLUME WORKS ON PLANES!by palmbeachliz - June 7, 2007
Pros: 12-HOUR BATTERY, VOLUME CAN BE HEARD ON PLANES, QUALITY PICTURE, EASY USE
Cons: NO CONS, VERY PLEASED WITH IT!
Review:
Bought this to take on a flight to Europe. The 12-Hour Battery enticed me and worked beautifully. Many players are said to not have volume loud enough for airplanes, but with quality headphones I could hear every word. With the airlines cramming extra seats on the planes, I highly recommend you buy this player, take your favorite movies, and mentally escape being in such a cramped space! Note: If you are taking this to Europe, you will need Both a transformer and a converter so you can re-charge the battery for your return flight. Since it works so well on a plane (the ultimate test, I think) it works great in a car and at home. As a person who researches the dickens out of a product prior to purchase, I could not be more pleased with this DVD player. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
