Play Mate
A travel companion that pulls its weight
Take your sales presentations on the road with Pioneer's portable DVD/CD/video player. Watch all three forms of media on the player's 7-inch active-matrix screen, which has both anti-glare and anti-reflection coating. The lightweight device weighs just over a pound and has a three-hour battery life. It's equipped with digital outputs as well as a 96kHz/24-bit DAC Dolby Digital and stereo speakers. You can swivel the screen a full 180 degrees for better viewing, or connect it to a TV once you arrive at your destination. The player includes a remote control and high-speed battery charger.
