Summary: good basic player
Review: A durable and basic player. Good value for the money with crisp picture and easy to use controls. for a basic player, the picture is clear enough you don't need to spend more money for a larger screen. After 2 hrs playing time, unit is a little warm to touch. Unit travels well, can get bounced around with no damage. Sound is average and just a bit tinny, that is to be expected for this low price.

Summary: EXCELLENT !!!
Review: Although this 5" is a bit bulkier than some, it sure makes up for it with it's clear quality picture and great sound!!
Battery life has been great with it going longer than the 2 movie life the manufacturer suggests! I LOVE IT !!
Great to have the car kit come with it! Nothing to buy extra!
Great perk to be able to use it with the video games as well!
A great buy~~ I'm VERY pleased !!!

Summary: DOA: Bad screen, and other features not as expected.
Review: Arrived defective -- bad screen. Audio quality also poor, very tinny: the speakers are not nearly as large as they appear. Volume had to be adjusted frequently during a movie, as did brightness. Vertical viewing range was very limited, had to re-tilt the display if I sat back in my chair.

Note that with the battery pack attached, the unit is about twice the thickness of the one in the photograph. Any features beyond stop/pause/play require the remote, and the infared receiver is in an awkward location on the front of the unit. Finally, I don't know if I'd call a cigarette lighter power cord a "car kit."

Overall I wouldn't recommend this unit. It's a shame -- it looked really good in the description.

Summary: A waste of money
Review: Good thing we bought this item well in advance of our overseas trip so we could replace it with a product that works! After having charged the battery for the recommended 8+ hours, when the player operated on battery power only, the screen would go in and out and the sound was very scratchy. I called Audiovox and they agreed that the battery was most likely defective and suggested that I get the battery replaced.

I don't know about other people, but when I buy a new product I want it to work from the get go. If it does not work, then I have my doubts about the product line in general. This is the last time I make a decision to purchase a product on the basis of price only. You get what you pay for!

I have returned this item to Amazon and purchased a more expenseve and name-brand player which does in fact work.

Summary: Good for the money with a few setbacks
Review: I bought this DVD player about a month ago. The only problem that I have been having with it is that the screen gets scratched very easily, where some of the fancier models have the same screens that laptops do and don't scratch easily. It is very thick especially with the battery on it, but for the money it is great

Summary: Audiovox D1500A affordable player
Review: I bought this player because it was affordable and cheap. The video quality was good for the 14 DVDs I've watched so far the sound quality was okay. When I hooked my playstation up to it there was lines going across the screen. I tried many solutions but none of them worked. But when I hooked a VCR up to it there was no lines probaly could have been the Playstation. The size of the player could have been smaller and the battery pack a be a little less bulkier and heavier. When I took it on a car trip the car adapter worked just fine. Battery has a long life. Overall A pretty good player

Summary: Beware; stopped working right after 90 day warranty
Review: I bought this player for airplane/car use for my child four months ago. For the first couple of months it worked just fine. However, in the last month, I have had nothing but problems with it. At this point, it will not successfully load any DVD's; stops playing and shuts off automatically with the error "unknown" disc. My biggest complaint is with Audiovox's customer service policy. Because the 90 day warranty is up, they want another $93.75 just to fix the obviously defective product. And the worst of it is how it comes on the heals of just paying $165.00 only 4 months prior! I would definitely think twice about buying this product.

Summary: Well worth the money!
Review: I bought this portable DVD because of the reviews that I read on Amazon.com only. I bought one previously from Wal-Mart (Cyber-Home) and found that it got horrible reviews so I returned it, got my money back and ordered the Audiovox D1500A from amazon.com's store.

For $177.00 bucks total, the D1500A can't be beat. Great picture, great sound, not too big, not too small. Overall a great product, and since I bought it from the amazon.com store, it arrived in a very short period of time and I have no fear of replacement if that becomes necessary. I do suggest that you buy a set of good airplane headphones and an extra battery.

For the money spent, you can't go wrong with this unit.

Summary: Battery DOA
Review: I guess you get what you pay for. My girlfriend bought this DVD player for me for Christmas and it worked ok when plugged in, but the battery died after 10 minutes. I tried charging it several times but it would not work. I returned it at Best Buy and picked up the Panasonic LS55 instead, which is about twice the price but has a much sharper and glare-free screen and an unrivaled 10 hour battery life. So far I have been very happy with the Panasonic.
