Rating: Summary: Unbelievable Clarity Review: I love movies almost as much as I love books. Now I can take movies along with me just like I do books. This is an excellent DVD player. The stereo sound and large LCD screen are crystal clear and sharp. The color clarity is unbelievable. Superb output, no interruption in playback. Very easy to use controls and every possible cable connection is included. Worth every penny.
Rating: Summary: Sent Two Back Review: I purchased this player and it worked fine with movies, but was incapable of playing a music CD all the way through without pauses, glitches and other problems. I wound up sending the first back, got another and had to send IT back due to the same problems playing audio CD's (store-bought.) I also found the Audiovox info-helpline impossible to access either by phone or internet. Too bad, because it played movies just fine.
Rating: Summary: Expand Your Horizons! Review: I originally selected this Magnavox unit since it represented one of the most affordable DVD players I could find with a 7" screen. The picture is sharp. And the player is very reliable (playing nearly all of the DVD's I've put into it).I've since discovered, however, that this remarkable little unit -- with all of its included extras -- has enabled me to enjoy movie watching in places I didn't anticipate. Here's where: 1) At Home -- But of course. The batteries last about two-and-a-half hours (long enough for most movies). And the picture is every bit as sharp as if I viewed the movie on my TV. But with the player on my lap -- and headphones (which are not included) over my ears -- I've found that I can watch movies without disturbing others. In case the action gets too loud (or sexy), I needn't worry about shocking the kids. I can now view a more maturely rated title at a reasonable hour -- without having to wait until my kids go to bed. (Cool!) 2) In the Car -- This is nice! With the included car charger, I can now watch movies even if the unit's batteries are low. I've enjoyed DVD's on numerous occasions while waiting for my kids at their sports or music practices (which makes the time go quite a bit quicker). 3) In a Plane -- No surprises here. The Magnavox is significantly smaller and lighter than my laptop PC (which also has a DVD player); and the picture -- even though the screen is much smaller -- is significantly sharper (and smoother flowing)! (I also use a set of Sennheiser HDC 451 noise-suppression headphones.) Watching a DVD movie on a plane can be very satisfying -- especially when compared to the (edited) in-flight movie! 4) On the Road -- On the Hotel's TV. The Magnavox, surprisingly, came with TV cables and a wireless remote control. Once I arrive at my destination, I hook up my Magnavox -- and I'm in business! DVD movies, as you know, are easy to carry. And the viewing experience (on the hotel's television) is much more satisfying (and less expensive) than paying for the in-room movie rental. (Hallelujah!) Overall, I'm very pleased with my Magnavox portable DVD player. My wife actually bought this player for me for my birthday. It is easily one of the nicest (and most versatile) presents I've ever received! I love it!
Rating: Summary: Worth Every Penny! Review: I have used this many times since buying it a few weeks ago and am very happy with it. The picture is FANTASTIC! Very clear and crisp and easy to see even in direct sunlight! The audio is great with the ear buds provided - excellent virtual surround sound. The unit dos get a little warm after a few hours, but so does a laptop PC. I used it in a long car ride to Maine last weekend over very bumpy roads and it did not skip once. A great product! :-)
Rating: Summary: NOT Worth the Aggravation! Review: The product was a good price so we purchased it as an intro to portable DVD players. Not worth the aggravation! Has a terrific picture. Easy to operate. Sound/Volume is definitely too low for some situations. BUT this player gets hot way to quickly! We have placed it in well ventilated areas, raised it, kept the lid open when playing it thru the television -- ALL to keep it cool. Not long after purchasing this, it started to malfunction - freeze up - misqueue dialogue, skip. Then very soon after it simply wouldn't play most DVD's. Discs would spin intermittenly while attempting to load - never loading - no way would movies play. Then a few days later, it might work for a full movie or part of a movie. Then nothing. Exchanged it for another. EXACT same problems. It a shame. It had a great picture the few times it operated properly. DO NOT BUY!
Rating: Summary: Do not purchase this product. Review: I shipped this product back the same day I received it. Even when using a brand new DVD, it skipped. Sometimes it would not even play at all. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this product.
Rating: Summary: Buyer beware Review: After a single day's use the DC adapter quit working. In order to get the necessary replacement, the warranty requires that you mail the entire unit back to Audiovox. This is a hassle that I did not anticipate having to deal with the day after receiving the player in the mail. Thanks for nothing Audiovox.
Rating: Summary: Nothing but problems Review: I just purchased this thing one week ago. I tried a dvd given to me by a friend. The dvd kept freezing up. I thought it was the dvd. When I tried 2 brand new out of the box dvd's. They both were freezing up. This is not the dvd player for me. Maybe this is a bad unit, I just do not know. I think I will look for something else.
Rating: Summary: I would rate it a "good buy" Review: I purchased mine almost a year ago for our long trips to dog shows. The screen display is great and the sound is good but could be a little louder especially while your are traveling in a car. We usually plug it into the lighter instead of relying on the battery since it is usually only good for 2 hours. I agree that the unit does get a little warm, but has not affected the viewing of the DVD. Overall we love the product and the larger screen compared to others in it's price range.
