Rating: Summary: Buyer Beware Review: A few days ago I would've given this product a 5. We used it all summer on a road trip and it worked beautifully. A few days ago the power connection became loose. Now you have to position the power cord just so or the unit will shut off. We bought the unit in May and paid full price for it. We relied on the product name and reputation. What a let down! We are past our 90 warranty period and Target doesn't offer an extended warranty option. What a complete disappointment! Too much money to break down this fast!

Rating: Summary: AV mobile DVD player in a bag. Review: I bought the DVD in a bag to take on long trips. I like the fact that it came with all the cables, a case and also a remote. I used it both in the house on AC and in the car on DC. The unit worked fine both times. In the car I used it for close to four hours without a problem. The screen is a little small and does require adjusting but it is removable and can be hand held. At present time I'm happy with it and it has done what I expected to do.
Rating: Summary: Great product for thos long car trips Review: I bought the DVD Video-in-a-bag along with the extra LCD screen (the VBPEX5, the VBPEX56 was not available at that time). This unit is great for taking those long road trips, plus it gives you a DVD player you can use once you arrive at your destination. The only drawback I have found is the size. This is a pretty large unit considering it does not have batteries. You must provide external power from a wall outlet or a car adapter. You can connect up to 3 LCDs to the unit. One connects through the normal connection, the other two through a special cable. Each screen also has stereo speakers and local volume control. You can also use the remote control by pointing it at any of the LCD screens, the remote detector is built into the screen housing. The power for the screens comes through the cable, so you don't need extra power for each screen. The screens are switchable between the DVD player and a set of external A/V connectors for game machines, or anything else that provides a video signal. We put one screen on the back of the seat for the child in the back seat, and the other in the front seat so my wife can monitor and control the DVD with the remote. I will buy the VBPEX56 (a 5.6 in screen, identical to the one that comes eith the unit) next so we have two in the back seat , one for each child.
Rating: Summary: Do not bother Review: I bought this last March for a road trip with the additional screen. I read some questionable reviews but I saw the Eddie Bauer version and bought it. Three days ago I put it in the car for a road trip and what do I hear as I put a DVD to test it....some very funny noises...when the noises stopped the DVD player read NO disc...when the disc came out it was scratched up. I called Audiovox...it only has a 90 day warranty so I have to pay $85 to get it fixed...funny that it is a flat fee...no examination required....
Anyways, all I can say it was not that great of a player from the start. Skip this one and look at another DVD player...maybe even build your own system with screens and a higher quality DVD player.
Rating: Summary: What are you complaining about? Review: I Hav had this player for a year and a half, And i love it . It works well, and is of an ok quality. it recently had a problem when the eject broke and i couldnt get a rental dvd out. i had purchased an xtended warranty fom circuit city, and they told me that audiovox doesn take broken ones, and i was given a great new one, and it works well, although sometimes the screen just blacks out while using the rca jacks
Rating: Summary: Wonderful for the kids Review: I purchased this just before our vacation. It was wonderful. With the option of purchasing the additional monitor, I was able to fulfill all my childern's dreams. My younger children watched movies, while my older child disconnected the additional screen and attached it to his PS2. The versitility was wonderful and provided enough entertainment for our 8 hour drive.
Rating: Summary: Great product Review: I use this product in my Sienna minivan. Even during daylight I can see the picture on the LCD display. When we stay at hotels I can easily hook-up the thing to the hotel TV and my toddler love it. The only drawback is that it is a little bit bulky and if you try to use it behind the driver's seat and a toddler in a toddler seat behind you, you have to move your seat to the front dangerously close to the steering wheel. Yo uso este producto en mi minivan marca Sienna. La pantalla LCD se puede ver aun durante el dia. Cuando nos quedamos en hoteles traigo el producto al cuarto, lo conecto al TV del hotel y tengo un DVD; a mi bebe le encanta. Lo unico malo que le veo al producto es que es un poco grande y si trata de usarlo detras de la butaca del conductor y al frente de un bebe de 25 lbs. o mas en sus sillones de auto, no hay suficiente espacio y tiene que mover su butaca hacia al frente, muy cerca del volante.
Rating: Summary: Beware, it is all downhill after the purchase.... Review: I was very satisfied with this product within the first couple months of receiving as a gift. I even recommend to others to purchase. After a couple months the machine began to cut off unexpectedly and I assumed that the power had blinked or the children had messed with it. Now, no matter if using in the car or home, the VBP 4000 overheats and cannot complete a single DVD. I have since researched this product and found other similar and same common complaints. The company will not admit to this as being a common problem, but does offer that I can send it in for repair at a cost of 165.00 plus my shipping. Final note, the majority of the problems began at 2 weeks post warranty. If you should decide to purchase this product, PLEASE consider buying the extended warranty from the store.
Rating: Summary: almost but not quite Review: If you are looking for compatibility it is here from VCD to CD-RW. However, it is not really portable because it is heavy and need to use AC or DC adapters for it to work. It sound's great and picture is pretty good. I don't like that when you put in wrestling DVDs it is hard to get to the main menu you have to fast-forward it instead of pressing the menu button. If you don't mind these annoyances it is a great product.
