The D1998 plays both NTSC (North American Standard) and PAL (UK, Australia and most of Western Europe) system DVD disks. In addition to picture standards the world of DVD is divided into six zones for distribution purposes. The D1998PK plays all discs, regardless of their region codes. This capability is known variously as region free, all region, multi region, multi zone and so on. What it means to you is that the 1998PK can play the widest variety of pre-recorded discs of just about any player.
High Resolution 16:9 9" LCD Screen
The 16:9 9" LCD offers a widescreen viewing experience just as you experience on room-sized models.
Carrying Case with Car Mounting Kit
The D1998PK's carrying case ingeniously opens and unfolds to become a car mounting kit so you can safely and securely attach it to the back of an automobile seat to keep backseat passengers entertained.

If you're got a room full of people to entertain you can use the D1998 like a conventional DVD-CD player by using an RCA-type AV cable (included) to connect the player to a larger TV or home theater system.
