Works Great!October 5, 2008 We bought this DVD player for a long car trip (over 1000 miles) with the hope it would distract our 2 1/2 year old. I was concerned about volume issues that I had read about in previous reviews, so we took little speakers to attach to it. It was a wonderful surprise that we didn't need the speakers at all. Even with all the car noise, which is considerable with the air conditioner and the engine noise associated with pulling a travel trailer, it was very easy to hear the videos. Our son loved watching his movies and allowed us to travel with relative quiet and to cover more miles per day. This is a great player it never skipped even on the roughest roads and was easy to use.

Great Player for moneySeptember 24, 2008 This player is a good DVD player for the money. We use it on long trips so our daughter can watch movies. I have also used it personally. I bought it because I had an iPod but found it does not work with the 5th generation iPod. The picture is black and white. I was not too concerned about it because I don't rent or buy a lot of movies from iTunes. Because of the problems I had with the iPod I rated the product with 4 stars instead of 5.
far from perfectSeptember 19, 2008 It wasn't the first portable DVD player I've owned, so I expected something better for $100. The player is very bulky. It's as thick as a regular 15" laptop. The battery attaches to the back (not shown on the photos) protruding quite a bit. The display is a low resolution grainy kind. It has also poor colors and contrast. I tried a couple of SD cards. Small 2GB card worked Ok, 8 GB player couldn't read. Apart from those shortcomings the player works fine.
Almost a perfect item, except for one small thing.....August 24, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I decided to purchase a portable DVD player, I wasn't looking for one that also had an iPod docking station included; I didn't know that such a thing existed. So when this showed up on Amazon one day, seemingly out of the blue, I was immedeately interested. Furthermore, I'd had good experiences with other Audiovox products in the past (from stereos to cell phones) so, considering the price, I was willing to give this a try.
It's been well over a month since I received this, and am I not disappointed in the least! Despite some of the less-than-enthusiastic responses here, I have not encountered any problems at all. The picture is very sharp, the sound (with wearing headphones) is crystal clear, and my iPod functions just as well on the player as it does on its own. There is some getting used to changing the settings to making the iPod work, but after a couple of times of usage it becomes a logical step. I even bought the AV chord Amazon offers along with the player to hook up to a TV, but any AV chord should work.
My only gripe-and its a small one- is that the AC adaptor Audiovox supplies is not very durable. After unplugging it from the player, I would gently wrap the chord in a circle to keep organized. After just afew times doing this, however, I've found that the chord is fraying in several spots, and could completely disconnect if further used. It's an easy replacement, as almost any store with an electronics department will carry AC adaptors.
All in all, a great buy!
Audiovox Goes to MaineAugust 12, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
We recently took a road trip to Maine with our two children ages 11 and 14. I purchased 2 Audiovox DVD players and 2 cases that attach to the head rests. It was great! We took quite a few movies with us and the trip went so fast for the kids. They were easy to operate and the bonus was the ipod doc. I recommend these Audiovox DVD players to everyone with kids. They are fabulous. The screen quality is excellent and the sound is too. Oh and the kids love having thier own remotes to operate it. As I always say....happy kids...happy parents! Thank you. Mrs. S.
