FYI, the color Black is NOT Black but rather a very dark (metallic) blue. Its pretty dam close to Black but bottom line it is NOT Black.
As far as the player its basicly a bare bones player, nothing special about it, basically everyone primarily buys it for the long battery life and tablet style 9" 480 standard resolution screen, amazingly this standard definition screen is on the high end compared to majority of other portable screens out there. Screen brightness is good. Personally I dont think anti-glare matt finish help reduce glare, I would rather have a glossy finish for more crisper display. Sound quality lacks any bass but that was expected, volume on the other hand is pretty decent for small speakers. Disc load and seek times were relatively quick. The touch controls are exactly that touch, next to impossible to control if watching a movie in the dark, you can not see where the controls are, one of those cool ideas but in the end just not proactical.
As always Sony disapoints, no car headrest adapter, I mean how difficult is it to put one together, Phillips has an awsome "Smart" headrest adapter for some of their models, at the very least they provide a pouch/strap for the headrest for other models. Honeslty I wish I could have purchased a Philips model but was unavailable. So in the end Sony it was.
My solution for the headrest is simply to make my own straps with clips that will wrap around the headrest, the straps will slide basically around the middle portion next to the swivel/pivot arm. Ah you will then say how does ones change the disc, since it is strapped shut. Anyone else fancy slot loading? I wish. Anyways, although the straps pose an inconvience, I plan to play video from an iPod. I little difficult to find the proper straps but ebay to the rescue.
This portable player is just something to start with for our new car. Still pondering if I want to cut the headliner to install a overhead screen. For now this portable player (soft install) will get the job done.
