HDMI cables are included as well. I upgraded to the 15ft cable for an extra 30 dollars and still received the free 6ft HDMI cable that it comes with. I would recommend this player to anyone that is looking to upconvert their dvds to get great visual quality. Movies I have seen millions of times look brand new to me and I have noticed things in the background for the first time.CLEARPLAY DVD PLAYERhttp://www.clearplay-dvd-player.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21211810.post-34924240232488947532010-04-28T15:47:36.357-06:002010-04-28T15:47:36.357-06:00Hi - I have bought one of these off ebay and am di...Hi - I have bought one of these off ebay and am disappointed that my 8gb SD card won't work. I thought SD was nly up to 2gb and 4gb was the start of SDHC. Really disappointed. This means I can fit only 2 movies onto a card for the kids in teh car. I tried putting the 8gb card into a USB card reader so it would appear as USB not card but this didn't solve the problem. I may have to get an external drive but this is another thing that hangs out the side and has to be connected etc - I just wanted to put all my movies onto 1 card, leave it in there. Oh well. I'll have a look at the firmware updat e- thanks for this.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047345897987518847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21211810.post-74034066608727325472009-06-22T15:36:10.567-06:002009-06-22T15:36:10.567-06:00Hi - sorry to bring this back from the dead (the w...Hi - sorry to bring this back from the dead (the wonders of Google,eh?)...<br />I've got a philips pet712 in car dvd player, similar to yours but which come with crappy headrest mounts. <br />I want to make a better mounting system, but I can't figure out what type of screw hole is on the back of the screens - I assumed it was a M6 machine screw, but it appears not. <br />Any ideas?<br />ThanksUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761264990225836280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21211810.post-85501273263062115112008-09-03T17:44:00.000-06:002008-09-03T17:44:00.000-06:00Julius, My guess would be the pet1030 doesn't supp...Julius, My guess would be the pet1030 doesn't support SDHC (only regular SD) which means maximum capacity would be 4gb. You have to be careful and make sure you buy a NON HC 4 gb sd card. Maybe something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208411<BR/>Though I haven't tested it so I can't guarantee it will work.ARoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01035010559491536662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21211810.post-77632295072333346222008-09-03T11:53:00.000-06:002008-09-03T11:53:00.000-06:00I just got a PET1030 and also a 16gb SD card class...I just got a PET1030 and also a 16gb SD card class 6.

Do you know if someone sells a universal external battery that you can plug into the A/C jack once the internal battery dies? If they had something I could purchase like that, I would have more peace of mind buying this product. I appreciate the links to the fixes as well, if I chose to get this player those will come in handy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21211810.post-11578649657471701012007-12-30T17:38:00.000-06:002007-12-30T17:38:00.000-06:00ARogan, FAT32 did the trick.
