Yet another little charmer (basically)

Pros Ideal for basic playing of DVDs without the need of a TV.
Cons A couple of inconveninet quirks. Supposed to work when on edge, but doesn't.
Recommended it? Yes

Some months ago I bought a Phillips portable DVD, which I thought was pretty nifty (see my review, http://www.epinions.com/content_211724242564). I still do. Its original purposes were: (1) It's a toy. I'm a guy. (2) I was going to spend a lot of time flat on my back during a series of spinal... Read full review »

Pros Ease-of-use and nice display size.
Cons DVD not getting loaded when unit is in upright position.
Recommended it? No

This 10" DVD player has a really nice design and easy-to-use functions. It works great when the player is laid down flat.

However, when I put the player in its car bag and attach it behind a car seat, the player could not load the DVD (waited for 5 minutes and finally gave up. When I then... Read full review »

Bad quality

Pros Good picture and battery life
Cons Freezeups, bad physical quality, poor design
Recommended it? No

Picture locks up all the time requiring a powercycle to unfreeze. Happens on 75% of disks (over 40 tried.) Some disks don't play at all. Makes the unit unusable.

Sound levels very very low - even max volume is hard to hear (tried with 8 different headphones / earbuds that ranged in price... Read full review »

Pros Rotating screen, screen quality, package comes with everything you need.
Cons Non-existent skip protection, poor case design, bad location for infrared reader
Recommended it? No

I recently purchased this product as a Christmas present. I explained to two employees at Circuity City that I needed a portable DVD player that would work in the car. Both recommended this product as the one to buy. I will say that the screen is pretty good and the sound is not bad considering the... Read full review »

Bought Polaroid PDM-1040 from Ckt City a few days ago.
I didn't do my internet research until I got home - big mistake or I might have seen the other review posted here. But I can confirm the problem with playing DVD's in the vertical (i.e. car headrest holster) position. About half the time... Read full review »

Pros I liked the big screen. Also it played multiple formats.
Cons They couldn't even give me the name of a company who might be fix it.
Recommended it? No

I bought this player a little over a year ago. This player died last week. It wouldn't power on by any of the three sources (battery, car adapter, or home adapter). I called customer service and they offered no help whatsoever. They suggested I buy a replacement at full price ($180) since this one... Read full review »
