Summary: Further News
Review: After much effort Audiovox finally agree to replace the DVD player...however it arrived not in the original container (Is it a rebuilt one being passed off as new?) and missing the cord that connects the power converter to the wall as well as the RCA plug cables that connect it to the TV...I have no way of knowing if it works and have asked if they would be so kind as to send cables...The front plate is falling off, but I can live with it that since it appears to be just a cosmetic issue...

Also I don't know why but in the box was the paper work for a return of a MVP 200 package (mobile VCR unit which wouldn't play)...it was installed by Columbus Car Audio for a Ms. Aimee Novak of Westerville Ohio...

Why I have this paperwork, may expalin why my paperwork was missing when I sent mine in...

It appears as if Quality Control is maintaining the standard I have come to expect.

Summary: A Bargain
Review: Considering the Price ($399) I am very happy with this player. Sure, others weigh less, look sleeker, but you will pay more. For me this player is just fine.

Summary: The Hyundai of Portable DVD Players
Review: Ever drive a Hyundai? It's a competent little car. It gets you to work and back in relative comfort. It doesn't have the amenities or coolness of a BMW, but it costs a third as much.

That's this DVD player. It's kind of chunky, a little homely, and the features are so-so. However, it's the cheapest you can get, and it plays DVDs just fine, thank you.

First, this unit is the least sexy portable DVD available. If you're buying it to show your friends how cool you are, forget it. It's 2 inches thick and pretty heavy. The battery is a giant silver log. It's made by Audiovox, so no cache there. Basically, you almost want to hide it from other people when you're using it.

Second, the battery is terrible. It lasts for approximately 2 hours. Movies are almost all longer than this. It also takes a while to charge, and no extra batteries are available. The worst thing about it, though, is that it's NiCad and not Lithium Ion. That means it has battery memory, and must be discharged before charging to maintain optimal battery life. To sum up, if you need to use the battery for long periods of time, buy something else!

However, if you only plan to use the battery occasionally, and don't care what technology snobs think of you, this player has some nice things to offer.

First, the picture is terrific. It's sharp and bright, and does justice to any flick you want to watch.

Second, Audiovox makes up for the poor battery by including both an AC adapter and a car adapter. That means you can use it anywhere a cord will reach. It also includes an S-video cable and standard RCA A/V cables, so you can bring it to Grandma's and watch DVDs on her TV. It also comes with headphones, in case you don't have any. That's a lot of stuff!

The overall quality of this player is very good. It seems very difficult to break. In fact, the bulkiness gives an impression of sturdiness the smaller players don't have.

So boiled down, you can get a brand new portable DVD player for ...less than the next cheapest unit. It has a great picture, nice sound (with headphones), and is very sturdy. If you can live with the battery, and without the approval of your gadget-guy neighbor, it seems your choice is clear....

Summary: Amazing unit, definately 5 star from me
Review: For someone who owned panazonic DVD laptop dvd just prior I tell
you the truth I did not expect much from Audiovox. But this unit
is excellent. Picture quality is better than Panasonic. It has excellent sound quality and the fact that you can turn off the picture is a great feature to have. You can't beat the price with all the goodies you get like, speakers, remote S-video cable etc. 2Hr battery is great and the fact you can either recharge the battery or connect the power directly to the unit is more than I could ask.... Excellent product indeed.

Summary: A Must for ANYONE with kids and long trips!!!!!
Review: For those of us who have children whose attention span last about 2 seconds and are constantly on the road this product is a must, I have owned this dvd player for approx. 10 months and I must say it has never let me down. I have two young children and it is usually so stressful on long trips as you find yourself pulling over constantly trying to dig out another toy that will entertain your child while on the road. This portable dvd player is a dream come true, I just put the movie in and everyone is happy@!!! It a little bulky compared to the other models however I would say this is good as it looks stronger, the other models are so thin they look like they would break so easily.

The picture quality is great and clear and the audio, even in the car my children can hear wonderfully. I would recommend this product to any person out there, it works wonderfully and includes all appropriate batteries, cables for the car...etc. I would recommend though that you buy the Case Logic portable dvd bag, it is specifically made for portable dvd players and is padded very well and has many compartments for storing your movies.

Summary: Clunky and poor resolution
Review: Got this item excitedly (price and specs) and opened it to find it had a defective pixel in the screen. I also noticed the resolution was poor (lots of pixelation-like artifacts) and the thing was just big and clunky.

Not recommended for those that were looking for a bargain, but could afford a little more.
