Summary: anyone else getting background graphic on screen???
Review: Just purchased this and it was a lifesaver for a long car ride with a 15-month old. However, there is a faint logo on the screen that reads "Western Hero." When the screen is dark it's not visible. This is there no matter what disk we put in. It's driving us crazy--we have no idea what this means. It seems to be permanently imprinted on the screen. We will most likely be returning it since it is flawed.

Summary: Poor Monitor Color & Clarity
Review: Loved the concept and was extremely excited to try out for first time. Lots of great features, connectivity, etc. Put first DVD in and could not get brightness to adjust enough to see that Tom Hanks was the star. Then tried Cartoon DVD, Santa Claus is coming to town. Very dissatisfied when could not get picture to come clear. Maybe just a bum unit. But expected alot more for the money. Luckily bought it at Circuit City and will be returning tomorrow. Anyone else with this problem???

Summary: Our first quiet ride to the beach!
Review: My husband and I bought this dvd system over the past weekend and it's worth the money (on sale elsewhere for $199.99 though). My son is 2 and watched his movies on the ride to the beach. The screen mounts to headrest and we are looking forward to buying another screen for our younger son (a little too young still). We love the idea that we can play cd's in it and can play dvd's inside our beach home. We recommend it, for sure. The only draw back is the smaller screen, but hey, you don't want it too big since your child is practically right on top of it anyway while in the car:-)

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: Read all the reviews please! You will find that the reviews that are "glowing" are from new buyers/users. I have yet to find one review on this product that is from a buyer past the 90 warranty that isn't having problems.
I bought this is May 2002 when it was introduced. It worked great the firts couple weeks and then for a trip from FL to TX with 8 kids it was a life saver. After that trip it was stored in a closet for about 2 months. Which was just past the 90 day warranty period. I set it up and inserted a disc and after it tried to load the disc and every disc I tried it said "NO DISC".
I contacted Audiovox and was told for a flat fee of $165 and I pay the shipping they could look at it/repair it. I out it away to deal with later. A year later my son got it out and the darn thing worked. We played part of a dvd and put it away. Now we are about ready to leave for another long TX to FL trip and we set it up again only to get the message "NO DISC" again.
What a waste of my money! This unit is NOT worth the $300+ dollars and then the $165 (plus shipping) = $500.
It's sad because the concept was great and other then the controls being in a bad spot and disc insertion and ejection spot falls where the seat is when hung between seats and the remote doesn't work from the front seat.
Yeah... I warned you... it sucks!

Summary: Poor LCD Quality
Review: Really functional but returned unit because DVD quality lost on poor picture clarity. Too dark in dark scenes and washed out in bright ones, colors in animated movies very dull and tinted. Do not recommend, too much money for poor picture quality.

Summary: Awsome product
Review: This is a great little system for the money and it's very versatile. The LCD monitor is detachable and can be used seperatley from the DVD player.The monitor itself has A/V inputs and headset jack inputs as well as the Dvd player, which has A/V inputs & A/V outputs.We just take our Monitor & Playstation for short trips, which is very compact.The monitor comes with a seperate case to attach to the front seats. The DVD player has various formats, including VCD & MP3. The DVD player can be used on any tv set without the Monitor. Very nice feature.You can add 2 Monitors to this unit as well. We have 3 monitors which is nice for long trips. Those that wish to play a game can play games while others watch a movie. Very well worth the money and you can do all of this for under $1,000.The versatility of the use in vehicle or home is a big plus for your investment.We were hestitant about buying this product because of the reviews about overheating? We have not had any overheating problems with our unit. The only drawback is the screen size, which is 5.6". Wish it were available with a 7" or larger screen.

Summary: Good product with a design flaw
Review: This product has many good features and options. It has a detachable screen. It can be powered by DC in home or in your car. But it has no battery alone option. The screen has to be adjusted to the proper angle vertically for horizontial viewing angles. Thus, a person standing and a person sitting can not both get a good screen. The biggest problem is that the unit overheats in the bag and will not restart on a new DVD until it has cooled for an hour or more. This is a major problem with kids on a road trip (the reason we bought it ). There must be better choices.

Summary: broke on second use
Review: This product is horrible. On it's second use the screen began emmitting a thick white smoke and compleatly fried. Thank goodness I was in the back seat with my 2 year old. After calling audiovox, I found out this product only has a 90 day warranty, says alot for the quality if product. (...)Beware!!!

Summary: Poor quality product
Review: We bought this product for road trips with our kids. The flexibility of adding and detaching screens was why we chose this product. Our first trip was at night and you could see the screen clearly as long as you were directly in front of it. The screen got very hot as reported in other reviews. The next time we used it was during the day and we could not see the screen clearly. Even if you placed the unit in your lap, it was difficult to make out the images. We tried it out in the house under different light conditions and in all instances the screen was difficult to see. The only time it came out clearly was when played back through our own TV or in darkness. We returned it and opted for the TV/DVD combo unit instead so we would not have to worry about picture quality. This unit was also less expensive.
