You don’t exactly need to be at home to have a home entertainment system experience anymore. Panasonic is set to introduce its new line of portable DVD players that pack features that belies its size.

The DVD-LX97 and DVD-LS91 both have an impressive 9-inch LCD screen which guarantees picture clarity regardless of the video or image media you’re playing. The unit is still compact despite its widescreen feature though, both models measure 236.5 x 185 x 51.5 mm. Furthermore, its 2.5 lb (LX97) and 2.2 lb (LS91) weight ensures the user of effortless mobility whether the unit is being carried by hand or inside a bag.

The players support a wide array of media, like DVD Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW1, DVD-R1, +R1, +RW1, and CD-R/-RW2. Both versions also recognize major media file formats such as MP3, JPG, and MPEG-4. Other common features include consolidated stereo speakers and an FM transmitter.

The LX97 edges the LS91 on two features. The former has an SD memory slot. Its integrated TV tuner also sets it apart not only from the LS91, but also from the rest of the portable DVD players in the market since it is the first one to include such a feature in the unit.

Battery life for the LS91 is at 6 hours, while the LX97 could go on playing for up to 10 hours.

The units will be first introduced in Japan on March 15 and will cost US $759 for the LX97 and US $464 for the LS91.
