Summary: A must if you are traveling with young children
Review: This item has been invaluable to us on our cross country trip. We drove from NJ to California and this works great in the car. It fit perfectly between our drivers and passangers seats and we just strapped it down with bungy cords. It does not skip at all when we drove over bumps. Both of kids have no problem viewing and hearing it in the back. In addition, we were able to hook it up to a regular TV so as we are visiting relatives without a DVD player, we are able to use this. It is great that the car adapter is included--most of the other ones we looked at did not include it.

And best of all, it's certainly lightweight and compact so that it truly is portable and convenient. The remote has added features that make it technologically advanced and innovative. I recommend this product for portable dvd pleasure!

Summary: Do not buy this...
Review: I bought this after considering all brands and thought that for the price this would be a great player. The next day I sat on an airplane for 5 hours. The only problem I had this day was that it would skip once in a while and sometimes the picture and they audio were not in sync. On the return flight there were major problems. I turned the unit on and it worked for about 2 minutes. Then the monitor went out. After planning on relaxing and watching a movie this made the flight very long, boring, and frustrating. I took this player back when I got home and purchased a better brand. For anybody considering purchasing this I have just this one piece of advice. Forget about it.

Summary: Excellent DVD Player - Completely Satisfied!!
Review: I bought the Audiovox 1680 in October 2001 after researching portable DVD players on the web. We've used it on several plane trips and our three year old loves it!! The picture quality is excellent, the sound quality is good, but somewhat difficult to hear with the earbuds on a plane -- even at max volume. We couldn't stand the earbuds that came with the DVD player so we bought SONY headphones. I've let several people borrow it -- once you try it, you're hooked!! Charge the battery overnight before you leave on a trip -- we've never had problems with battery life. It's worth every dollar!

Summary: don't plan to play rented DVD's on this
Review: This is an attractive player. The accessories were what sold me on it, and I was pleased with the package. I was disappointed, however, when I tried to play rented DVD's on it. It skipped very badly. I contacted Audiovox and was told that this is a low energy laser and that DVD's need to be clean to play in it. The same DVD's that skipped so badly in this player played fine on my husband's Toshiba laptop.

Summary: great player w/almost everything included
Review: This player comes with everything (almost) battery, cig lighter adapter, AC adapter, and RCA cables to hook up to your TV or vcr. The only thing they didn't include was the S-Video cable (its optional). I love being able to play CD and MP3's also. another small perk is that this player will play DVD's in NTSC or PAL format. My 2 year old loves a group called the Wiggles. they are from Australia. The Australian format is PAL which won't play on most USA DVD players (home or otherwise). I haven't been able to find US format (NTSC) DVD's yet, so I have to order them from Australia (PAL). With this player I don't care which format it's in because I can play both

Summary: Solid player, but very heavy
Review: I purchased this DVD player, before the long flight with 2 kids. I must say that it served perfectly to keep the kids busy for 4 hours.Overall the quality of the product is average. First of all it's very heavy. It is also bulky. The quality of the screen is not so great (pixely), and sometimes the sound jumps. If you are looking for a high quality DVD watching, go with SONY or Panasonic, but if you are looking for a cheap (relatively) way to entertain yourself or your kids on a flight or in the car, that's the way to go.

Summary: Best Bang for your Dollar
Review: I have used this for about 2 months now. A friend was so inpressed he bought one too. I take this everywhere I go. While waiting for the wife, I watch a movie in the Van. (Using the Van's speakers the sound is great.) My wife & I took a trip & she used it & loved it. (This after telling me "I was wasting my money"). The picture is great! The battery lasted through 2 movies. You get everything you need to hook up to your TV or home theater. The remote is a credit card size gadget. It does alot. The size is perfect & feels solid. You can't go wrong with this unit...

Summary: Excellent Player with a few small shortcomings.
Review: I purchased this player and the RCA model which is in the same price range. I returned the RCA model after comparing the two side by side. The picture is EXCELLENT. It's bright and clear, even in sun. The screen is visible at about a 30 degree angle, making it easy for two people to watch the screen together. The sound quality is excellent, even on MP3's. Movie soundtracks were clear and crisp, even on the minature speakers built-in to the unit. The battery lasted at least 3.5 hours, maybe more. The ONLY real downside is the weight and size. It's heavy, as heavy as my laptop. So I really can't bring both on a trip. My laptop doesn't play DVD's and my DVD player can't log on to the web. The size is bigger than a comparable Sony model. It's well designed and works properly, but it's a little bigger than it should be. Maybe the Audiovox 7" screen model would be better in this regard. But if the size and weight don't bother you, the picture and sound quality will delight.
