Summary: Big on features; Small on price
Review: I've been playing with the DVD player for 24 hours now. I watched 4 DVDs on it, and I have no complaints. For its size and its price, I really can't complain.Its strong points are: bright picture, great remote (can do pretty much everything but volume and power on the remote), pretty design, and ease of use. Its weak points are: the device gets pretty warm after an hour or so, speakers are not that loud, and the resolution is not that great, and no FF or REW on the unit (this fuction is only on the remote).

Summary: Was happy but...
Review: This unit is very nice for travel with lots of ways to view your dvd - battery which has lasted me 4 plus hours at one time, regular plug in adapter and car adapter. The picture is good for a portable. The sound is poor through the built-in speakers but good enough in a quiet setting. Great sound with headphones (not included), my own are Bose. Limited controls on unit - no FF or RW - that's no good, but you better not lose your remote or you will be frustrated. Unit's dvd cover is flimsy and the slightest move may disturb DVD play or cause it to operate noisily.
Biggest problem - unit stopped working at just about a year of use. I used it for trips, in the house, at the hairdresser, anywhere.
I didn't even bother to try to repair it.
Fortunately, I got it at COSTCO and their customer service is outstanding. At one year of ownership I took it to their returns and they game me a full refund by store credit. I had no receipt and no owners manual. They took it back with no hassle at all. I will definitely strongly consider whatever COSTCO is selling in DVD players because of this benefit.
I wouldn't get another AUDIOVOX DVD

Review: Very good picture, comes with charger, litium ion battery, car adapter. However, right hinge cracked after very limited use. Warranty service only available in NY; thus, you must ship the player back for repair.

Summary: Great Value but Fragile
Review: We bought two of these for our 5 & 8 year old sons. They are a life saver for travel. They have a great picture and good battery life. They include everything you need, even the DC adaptor for the car, which costs up to $... extra with other models. The only downside is the hinge design is not made to withstand any more than very careful use. Our 8 year old managed to break one of the hinges on his without really getting rough with it. It still works fine and we have glued it. Just be careful if younger kids are going to be using it. Of course, for the low price, you can just get another one if it gets really torn up. We bought two of these for less than one of some similar models we looked at.

Summary: good for a year
Review: We had our player for just over a year when ours broke. Before that, it was a good machine. The picture quality on the 7" screen was clear and pretty sharp. Plugged into a TV it looked great as well. The 2 speakers on the bottom front of the screen worked fine. We never had problems hearing the sound, even when the kids were watching a movie during a noisy wedding reception. The sound quality was very good when it was pluged into headphones or a sound system. The player had no problem playing DVD's from other regions & burned copies of home videos. The remote is a standard design used by several of the other less expensive brands ie. Magnavox. Good features on a small remote & ergonomically designed. The problems we had was after about 8 months of heavy use (we used it in our bedroom as an alternate dvd player for several months) it started having trouble recognizing & loading dvd's. Once in a while there would be intermitant scraping noises as if the dvd were being scraped up. After a couple more uses, the screen no longer worked and the scraping noise was persistant.
We bought the player from Costco and this will be the test of their return policy.

Summary: CONSTANT TROUBLE
Review: We have had this unit for less than 2 years. After a few months use the screen went black.....you had audio but no video. I had to box it up and send it to NY, after several weeks we were sent a refurbished unit, but they did not return the cigerett adapter. I called them and got no where except to be told that i could order another one from them for $35
I have had this "refurbished" unit for a few months and it is now doing the same thing as the first one. All in all we have used this unit only on trips. Total hours ever used since purchasing the first one would not exceed 10 movies on the two combined.
I would NOT recommend buying this unit, thier support is lousy and it is very unreliable even if you can get it to work. Freezing up is another story in itself......

Summary: Nice DVD player
Review: We've owned this DVD player for about a year now and are very happy with it. We use it in the car on road trips, have taken it on an oversees plane trip and use it in our home. We've had no problems with it whatsoever. It does get pretty warm after it's been running for a while, but so far this has not affected its performance. The sound is sometimes not loud enough when using it in the car, but we solved this by bying a cassette adapter so the sound gets routed over the car stereo. I liked that this DVD player already came with the DC adapter cable for the car. We bought an extra battery for a 10-hour plane trip, which turned out to be unecessary, as they had DC hookups between the seats (on American Airlines) and we could have just powered it from that! Overall, we are very satisfied with this product and the low price. It does a great job of keeping the kids entertained on trips, and while at home we just plug it right into the TV.
