Summary: Great price, great quality!
Review: I thought I was going to have to spend a wad on a brand like Sony in order to get something good. I am very pleased with the sound and video quality of such a light, and inexpensive device.
The only downfall I can see is the proprietary battery. It only lasts 2 hours and takes 6 hours to charge, and can only be charged 500 times. Small inconvenience in my book to save the difference in the price to one that can do better.

Summary: Gave it another chance.
Review: I wrote a bad review because the dvd player froze
and acted like the other bad reviews.
Tried it one more time before sending it back.
Now it works great.

I love this player. Took it on a trip in the car
and not a problem.
Picture great,sound through head phones is wonderful.

works awesome.
took on another trip and worked perfect.

Summary: This thing continues to impress me!
Review: I'm the one who wrote a review on christmas, I'm back with an update.I decided to test a few new things on it. I set the player at the end of a hallway at my college, and attempted to use the remote... I'll be darned, the thing worked from 40 feet away! I popped in a cd+g (karaoke) cd.. Played it. I am (as i type this) encoding episodes of my favorite show, Hikaru no Go, at a rate of 1300kbps mpeg2 with cq_vbr of 47, audio @ 32khz, 160kbps, stereo. Yes, I already told you this thing doesn't care about "standard compliance". I found it's first no-no a few days ago.. It does not play mpeg videos with mp3 audio.. Don't blame it though, Windows Media Player still has issues with that type of video. I am giving this puppy the 5 it really deserves. There are so many undocumented features in this lil powerhouse, you just need to go and get one, it will not be regretted. Tuesday, a very bad thing happened.. It was dropped for the first time ever.. Picked it up, and the darn thing was still playing! As for the disc mechinism issue some people have been having, thats what a warranty is for. I am happy to report that this puppy doesn't and hasn't had that issue yet. Display is still very beautiful on it. After these 3 months that I have had it, the casing is starting to wear on it, but this is due to me keeping it in my pocket (yes, it fits). I walk back and forth a long ways a few times a week, and this thing is perfectly happy being in my pocket, and the remote even works while in my pocket too. I already wrote a review here, but after seeing my all-time favorite device getting poor reviews, these reviews are very different from what I have experienced. If you can, buy one. If it breaks, get a refund. It's that easy. I have owned a lot of portable electronic devices, but this is by far my favorite. This little puppy earned me some cash too. I rented it out to friends of my relatives when they went to vegas, got $30 for one week rental. If it would have broken, and gotten reimbursed for the device, guess what.. I'd buy the exact same one again. I am still finding out new things about this little powerhouse. I wasn't ever expecting this thing to be able to do so much. VCD, SVCD, XVCD, MPEG burned onto a regular ISO, it generates its own menu! If it ends in .mpg and is a video, there is a 99% chance this DVD player can play it from the CD, no need to even waste time making a VCD, i just burn all my videos onto a CD as an ISO now, it's a real time saver. Seriously, go check out the review I submitted on Xmas. It will give you a much better review than the one I just left here. This is just an update really..

Summary: Mine Quit working also
Review: My Model IDM-9520 worked great for about two movies. Now it is all I can do to get thru one movie. It will freeze after about 10-15 min of run time. Only way to recover from this is to shut down and try and reload the movie(which does not always work). Great price, but definatly not worth the aggravation.

Summary: Don't buy it
Review: Same as the others, it worked for 3 days and then stopped working, it would freeze in the middle of a movie, we upgraded to the Audiovox 7 inch and are much happier.

Summary: If it sounds too good to be true, then it probibly is.
Review: The audio/video quality on this little guy is great. However, here's where Initial Technologies rips you off. The disk mechanism only lasts for two days. Save up for a Sony, Tashiba, Philips, JVC, or Panasonic. RCAs only last for a few months. They also have great audio/vidio quality, but very poor disk mechanisms. Note that amazon.com currently does not stock portable DVD players by Sony, Philips, or JVC. I don't remember seeing many Tashiba portable DVD players either. Amazon.com does have a good selection in many other catagories, but not portable DVD players.

Summary: 2 of these died in less than 24 hours
Review: Warning. This product is named INITIAL becuase it only works initially! We bought 2 of these for our kids for Christmas. Both worked all day yesterday (about 3 DVDs watched on each). Both units will not load a DVD today. 1 unit quit working first thing this morning and one quit this afternoon. I'm going to try again and hope that I got 2 lemons and their replacements will be okay.
