Summary: Audiovox D1710
Review: I won't waste $100 sending in my 5 month old D1710 player that is dead. It didn't have that much use, maybe 20 DVDs. It was ok while it worked. I guess I was lucky it lasted through the warranty. (90 Days)

Summary: Great Little Unit!
Review: My wife and I had been thinking about buying a DVD player for home use. We do some traveling year-round and go camping in the summer, so it seemed like a good idea to get a portable DVD player, but we thought they were very expensive. We chose the D1710 for its portability, appearance, features and mostly its price range. At $200. or less, we weren't expecting much. Smaller 4.5"-screen players were only $30. to $50. cheaper.The D1710 reads DVD's, CD-ROM's, MP3's, JPEG's, TIFF's, and possibly other types of disks/files. It has audio/video and coaxial outputs so you can watch movies on your regular TV, and it comes with a credit card-sized remote control, which works well. The screen is as clear as other players we saw on display costing twice as much, and the sound is typical for such small players with little speakers; it sounds good, but tiny. When using headphones or plugging into a TV or home stereo system the sound is crystal clear and as powerful as a home-based player. So far we've watched about 10 or 12 movies on the D1710, and although it's tracking is decent, it's not flawless. We haven't played a single DVD yet that didn't momentarily skip or hang at least once or twice during the movie. An occasional black screen happens, but each time we waited and the movie picks right back up within maybe 5 to 15 seconds. To be fair, most of the movies we watched have been on cheap DVD's, and judging from reviews of more expensive units this seems to be quite common among portables. The battery, though we've only used it once so far just to test it, lasted exactly 2.5 hours on the first charge. I understand the life increases after a handful of charges. Lastly, we couldn't get JPEG's to show, and the manual is all but useless. I looked up the Audiovox website, which wasn't much more help. You have to create a user-account and then send off some text (no email address for help!), and someone will get back to you within 2 business days. They did, and directed me to call a toll-free number. It turns out that in order for the D1710 to read JPEG's, you need to record them onto disk using CD burning software as opposed to using the "drag and drop" CD feature in Windows XP. After that, it works fine. Overall, this is a great player for $200.

Summary: I found the Skipper, Where's Gilligan?
Review: This thing has skipped on every single dvd we've tried to play in it. Not just a skip here and there, but lots of skips, lags, frozen screens, even the cc gets all messed up. It makes this crazy clicking sound when it's messing up, too. Not through the whole movie, but like I said before, EVERY movie-even Dora, which is only 25 mins long and brand spankin' new...not one has played all the way through. It is usually sitting on my nightstand not being moved or touched, too. I'm not running around doing hurdles in the backyard, making it skip... I'm gonna swap it for another one and give it the benefit of the doubt...maybe I got a bad egg. I'll update afterwards.

Summary: Not user friendly
Review: When I received this DVD player, I was surprised to find that the battery case is a separate piece from the player itself. However, I plugged it in and charged it up. On my first airplane trip after receiving it, I foolishly packed the battery piece in my luggage and the player itself in my carryon bag. Sure enough, you can't use the player without the separate battery charger! After recharging and further investigation, I found a strange little switch on the side of the player that has to be in one position or the other for the screen to display your DVD. Also, I found the on/off switch to be less than obvious. If I had it to do over, I would follow the other reviewer's advice and get a Sony.
