Summary: saved my vacation
Review: Before we left for vacation I purchased the Initial DVD player. It was great both on the plane and at the resort. With the addition of sound reduction headphones the quality and clarity of the sound and picture for an inexpensive DVD was surprisingly good. Even without the headpones we were able to play CD's and DVD's so we could both enjoy our new toy.

Summary: Small Prouduct... Small Price... AWSOME MACHINE!
Review: For it's small price and sise, this player provides one Hell of a punch. I plan on getting a lot of use out of it. It plays back widescreen formatted DVD's like televisions 40 times it's sise. If you are one person, and want to save a good $6000-$10,000 on a widescreen tv, get yourself this little guy.Initial must be listening a bit to it's customers;The machine I got is packed with features found on more expennsive larger players. Even watching non- widescreen discs in this thing in FULL mode was a joy. I played one of my first season Lost In Space Dvd's in it in FULL mode, with no problems at all. I only have one gripe, that being that the battery pack is external, and a bit clumzy. However, I can live with that, as I ran my player for over 4 hours on one charge, and the recharge time was under 90 minutes. As I said, this small machine delivers a very big bang for the buck. I'll be using this gizmo more often than any other DVD player I own, and including this one, I have 2 others. Save some wear and tear on your main DVD players, and get this one. You won't be disapointed

Summary: Good
Review: First off, let me say I was a little hesitant to buy this portable because the price was so low compared to top bands such as Sony. I didn't want to spend over $500 and didn't want a screen smaller then 7 inches. I bought this device anyway... Let me tell you it worked a lot better than I expected. The picture is great and the sound is great too if you have headphones on, otherwise it's just ok. As you know it plays DVD/CD/MP3 CD. But a think that made me enjoy this even more was that it plays Video CD's. I would burn concerts onto regular CD's and it would require another computer to play it, but you can play it on this player. The whole thing is great, the only reason I have it a 4/5 would be because the battery life of this and all portables isn't good. The battery only lasts about 3 hours, good enough for one to one and a half movies, but if you're on a 8 hour plane ride there's no outlets like a cigarrete one in a car so you're basically screwed. I'd still recommend this.

Summary: Great overall value
Review: I got this machine a month ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It has played every kind of discs I have thrown at it, from VCDs to DVD+R as well DVD+RW! I have burnt ~1000 songs on to a DVD+RW disc and enjoy the variety while playing in random mode. The screen is bright and beautiful and quite large. It is worth every penny I paid for it on AMAZON. I wish there were a button which would turn the lcd off, while still keeping the speakers on, so that I could listen to songs on the in-built speakers without running down the batteries. Of course, most people would rather listen to songs on headphones, so they would just close the lid and get the desired effect. So, it is not a real problem. It also has features for audio/video in/out which can be very useful while viewing recordings from a camcorder or digital camera on a trip. I would strongly recommend it to people who want the most bang for their buck. Yes, the battery could have been incorporated inside the main compartment, that would have been awesome.

Summary: Questions about DVD use
Review: Great picture but very low volume; at the highest point it is difficult to hear unless in very close proximity. Is there a way to improve this control?
The manual is very difficult to understand, needs to be simplified in laymen's terms.

Summary: No problems so far
Review: I wanted to put a quick note out there because of all of the negative reviews that I read about this player (mostly dealing with problems of it freezing up or failing to work). I received mine from Amazon on 2/5/04. Hopefully, the more recently shipped machines have addressed many of the problems that seemed to plague earlier buyers. All I know is that mine has worked flawlessly. I took it on a plane trip with me for a weeklong visit to Whistler. So far I've watched about 6 movies on it. Mostly with it hooked to an outlet, but did watch one on battery. Still had batterly life left after one movie, but I can't comment on how much of a second I would have been able to watch. As other reviewers have noted - the player comes with about everything you need - car adapter, RCA cables to attach to a TV, remote control, etc. Unfortunately for me, the TV in the hotel did not have RCA jacks so I was forced to watch movies on the 7" screen. It's definitely not as good as a full size TV, but you kind of forget how small it is as you get involved in the movie. For what its worth, I'm a recent purchaser that hasn't had any problems with the machine.

Summary: Great player. "Onboard" zoom mode, anyone?
Review: This player is a very great value. I would have given it five stars if there was some way to adjust the contrast. Dark areas are sometimes difficult to see. The picture is sharp and clear. The player successfully plays DVD+R discs just fine. I have not had any freezing yet, but need to play more movies. Does anyone have a player that has all three modes specified in the manual. The manual states that it has an "onboard" normal, full, and zoom mode. I only have two and my Initial 5820 (a great player) has the three.

Summary: Great Buy for All Ages
Review: I recently bought this product. The screen is very clear, the sound is great, and it comes with a small remote. The only bad part is that you have to charge the battery for 6 hours, and it only lasts for about 3 hours. Unless you listen to music then it last about 4 hours. I would recommend buying this product.
