Another thing to know is the HighMAT Technology all Panasonic portable DVD players have to offer.

HighMAT is a digital media standard which allows to store, arrange and playback photo, music and video collections on recordable disks like CD-RW media.

The good points are:

2. great sound
3. 3 hours playback time
4. speakers, if the device is used at home, too
