Highly recommended DVD Player

bykrenablunschi Dec 18, 2003
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great screen size for $ Plays all formats tried, Compact size = easy travel
Cons Sound without headphones is a bit "tinny" but not worth complaining about
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this DVD player for my children to view in my van. I wanted a screen large enough for them both to enjoy and I didn't want to pay alot for it. The screen looks good no matter what angle you view it from. The sound is a little "tinny" sounding but not enough to complain about and it sounds... Read full review »

Pros While it worked, it was easy to use and had a great picture.
Cons It stopped working 3 weeks after we purchased it.
Recommended it? No

I bought the this DVD player because of it's swivel screen, and great picture. It worked well for our first on-road-the-road-trip. However, on our second road trip (3 weeks after we purchased the unit), it just wouldn't come on. The power light was on but the dvd wouldn't spin. I tried different... Read full review »

Pros Rotating screen, great resolution, very durable
Cons None that I can think of.
Recommended it? Yes

I have purchased this particular unit about a month ago. The features that got me thinking about this unit were rotating screen, multi-zone DVD playing, the size of the screen, to mention a few. Whereas all these features are working quite well, the most annoying thing is with the display itself... Read full review »

Cheap Display - you get what you pay for

bykathybong Sep 9, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Bigger screen
Cons LCD display quality like I'm watching VHS instead of DVD quality on this screen.
Recommended it? No

The display can be rotated but only good when you're watching on the left side but when you are on the right side you cannot do that. The quality of the display is very poor. The display is not what you see in other brand -crisp and clear.
You can buy cheap or bid this from known store and you... Read full review »

Pros - swivel screen with image flip - less expensive than other brands
Cons - Flimsy disc door - Needs rubber feet. - Many remote only controls.
Recommended it? Yes

- This a decent portable player. It does all the stuff the rest of the portable players do: plays dvds, audio cds, mp3 cds, photo discs. I had no problem playing dvds or audio cds although I have yet to try mp3 or photo disc.

- Another reveiwer mentioned an issue with full-size discs or... Read full review »

Pros Nice screen, easy to use, rotating screen.
Cons Can't play some DVD-Rs!
Recommended it? Yes

I loved this player until I tried to play some of my DVD-R discs from The History Channel. I bought this player primarily for educational purposes - I show a lot of videos in my classes. The player can't play some DVD-Rs successfully - there are skips about every 20 seconds. Even though I really... Read full review »

Cons Audio good but could be better, battery life ok
Recommended it? Yes

This unit is underrated for the price/value. Purchased March 04 (from Avalon - stay away from them !!!) We primarily used it in the car for spring break with the family on a long road trip. To date I have played at least 50 DVD's. NEVER 1 problem. Good color, nice and bright, easy to use, only... Read full review »

Pros Rotating Screen, In-car Adapter Included, Can Configure to Multi-region

This unit is very good quality and a reasonable price. The rotating screen is it's best feature, which allow you much more flexibility in viewing. Picture quality is good with a decent enough field of vision to allow 2 people to get a good view. Sound quality is quite poor through the speakers... Read full review »
