My first experience with a Panasonic portable DVD player was with the LS-50, which I rented at an airport. I loved it, ended up buying a used one thru eBay. Should have bought it new and with a warranty! Got 1 year out of it, then the HO:3 message. Thinking to buy the LS-50 again, it is now more costly than the LS-90 which replaced it, so I went with the LS-90 after reading customer reviews. So far I have been very happy with it. I do find I constantly compare it to the LS-50 - which I liked better. Why? Smaller screen, more controls on the unit itself (thus less need to use the remote). The LS-90 has a larger screen, which is fine but needs more care in opening, and there are many controls that are only accessible by using the remote, which I'm not big on. BUT, the remote works great, the unit works great, sound could be louder but it's not supposed to be the only home entertainment unit. The player I bought came with a great travel bag and awesome headphones, so overall I've been very pleased with the purchase. Great price, but I am investing in an extended warranty. This unit probably deserves 5 stars, but I gave it 4 because I do think the LS-50 is a better unit.

I really enjoyed this product as long as it worked. It has the longest battery life of up to 6 hours. The folding display is a very nice feature on airplanes. The picture quality was better than similarly priced products.
Here is the problem. As several reviewers have mentioned, in a year, more or less, the player stops working and will display the dreaded "HO3" error. This seems to be due to the laser lamp getting stuck in position on the rotating shaft. Please read the reviews on the Panasonic LS50. Almost every reviewer for that model received the "HO3" error, and Panasonic decided to do nothing, they simply carried the problem now into this product. This is a manufacturing quality issue, and the product should be recalled. There is no reason for consumers to shell out extra money for warranties.
For the people who already own the device, I saw a solution posted for the HO3 error on the internet by a user named Hossan, and it worked after I tried it myself. All you need is a small Phillips screwdriver. Remove all 12 screws from the back of the player. After removing the back cover, you will see the unit with the laser lamp mounted on rubber suspensions. Carefully lift the unit off the suspensions. Turn the unit around carefully so that the cables don't come off. Close to the servo motor, you will see a small black thumb wheel. Turn it, and the laser lamp should move along the rotating shaft. Turn the thumb wheel, so that laser lamp moves away from the center towards the edge. That should release it from the stuck position. All this takes maybe 15 minutes. Don't let some service guy talk you into shelling out a hundred or more dollars for repairs.
Considering that otherwise this is a wonderful product, the best think Panasonic could do, is to admit there is a problem and recall the product, or at minimum provide a free repair service. Instead it is just sitting on the fence. Something is wrong if the management of a company does not care anymore about its reputation. There are already a lot of irate customers.

I bought this item because of the long battery life. Shame on me for assuming that by buying the most expensive portable I would be getting all the bells and whistles. Even $100 el-cheapo players include video inputs...not the LS90. I was looking forward to using it to review home videos and pictures while on vacation. The sound, picture and battery life are all first rate but the LS91 has all this AND AV inputs. For $100 less than the LS90 it's a no-brainer. The only difference I can find is the LS91 doesn't include a remote. If you can't live without it--buy a universal remote at Walmart for $15.

As a previos buyer of the panasonic DVDLS55...I received the dreaded H03 message...I called panasonic and was told it would cost $250 to repair it...I purchased the LS90 from another vendor with a 4 year extended warranty...If you buy this player do that also...3 business companions of mine have received the H03...Great product here but protect your investment people....It took 1 1/2 years for me to receive the message and believe me you will get yours also!

This portable DVD player is the best one I've found. It has a 6 hour battery life, where most others have 4. I love it, and think the picture and sound quality are excellent. I was hesitant to buy it after reading some of the comments on the picture quality, but I am glad I did. Sure compared to my high def plasma it's not as good, but for a portable DVD player it's got an excellent picture. I am very happy with it. I like that the screen swivels up and down, makes it great for travel on an airplane or for hooking on the back of a car headrest. Also has two headphone jacks so you don't need a splitter if two people are watching!
