I listen to good dialogue films in the car all the time via the dvd player. Currently on 'The Big Short'. 
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Handbrake or park needs to be applied for the picture to work. Sound will work all the time, as does skip section etc.

Very handy when you don't want to trail around the shops with the other half..... 'I'll just wait in the car dear' very pleasant experience, switch the screen to zoom, all it needs is a popcorn dispenser!

It's ok if you show up early for a ferry! I just hope it knows when the battery is getting tired tho.
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

We are going to sail from Portsmouth at the end of March and from up here it's difficult to estimate a journey time - we could have some time to spend at the dockside pre loading onto the ship! I would hate to get the nod to drive up the ramp and find the battery flat as a fart!

I was being daft Ronk, I meant it stops playing because the battery is totally flat, bit of a joke. Don't rely on it stopping beforehand with a cutoff it doesn't have for chuffs sake..!!ronk wrote:That will do me!john-e89 wrote:It does Ronk, it stops playing.....ronk wrote:It's ok if you show up early for a ferry!
