Don't Waste Your Money!!!!!!!
I purchased this model on 12/21/03 and it started to black out on me in May. After getting some tips from Customer Service it was working again but I had to reprogram it on a regular basis; any DVD over 30 mins would make the screen go black. This is a frustrating process when you have a 5 yr old ..

Junk!
I purchased this item from WalMart and it worked for one movie and now we get a few seconds of viewing and then the black screen. It was over 30 days before we initially used it and so now WalMart is not willing to exchange or refund. I see I am not the only one with this problem so I would HIGHLY..

Found Replacement Remote for Initial 5820!!!
First of all, let me just say that I have owned this unit for about a year and a half and I have never had a single problem - although the battery is getting a little weak I think.I currently use it to play DVDs and MP3s. I have found that you NEED the remote control to do many functions that are n..

Purchased from Wal-Mart, Great Product!
I had ordered this product through Amazon.com, but after waiting for 3 weeks for it to ship, I canceled and went with Wal-Mart Online. Some stores may have the 8", but most only have the 7". I could purchase it for the same price through Wal-Mart, though they add tax so it made it a few dollars mor..

7 inch model freezes up
I bought the 7" model and it froze up. You thump it and it goes. I exchanged it and the second one does the same thing after 3 or 4 movies. It looks like someone else had the same problem with the 7" model, but everyone who bought the 8" model does not have this problem. Could there be a design flaw..

Not worth the money
It sure looks like a bargain. Nice price, good screen size and all the accesories that you need. None of these things are worth anything if it doesn't work! Maybe it's just a defective unit, but I've had nothing but trouble with anything to do with the included adapters. The adapter plug site on the..

great product
I ordered this dvd plyaer for the long waits in airports and lines to get on our ship. I used it for two movies and the battery lasted. I know when I read other reviews it said the battery did not last, but I had no problem. I have never watched more than two movies in a row, nor would I want to...

Great for road trips
Bought this for an upcoming long road trip and for future plane travel. Absolutely fantastic. Love the car power adaptor. It has many more options (zoom using the remote control, input video from a cam corder, plays cd's or mp3s) than I imagined and especially for the price. The picture quality ..

A DVD player with a VCD quality LCD screen or less
I you want to watch VCD, this player may be good enough. But if you want to watch a DVD, don't expect this player will provide a high quality video. I wonder what is the resolution of the screen on this player. It is a very poor quality screen in term of the resolution...

Great Value
For the price this is an outstanding portable DVD player. As a videophile I would not give this the top rating, but I was pleasantly surprise with the product. It would be nice if it had a resume feature, and you could control the volume with the remote control. You can pay twice the price for th..

good product for the price
I took this DVD player for using in the car. Everything is good in the product. I played all formats like DVD, CD, VCD and all works good. Sound quality is also good. And the price is also good for the product...

Horrible Battery Life
I got this specifically for a long plane trip. I was unpleasantly surprised when the battery died a quarter of the way through the second movie. I wasn't watching "Dances With Wolves" or "Titanic", just normal movies. Without the option of running it on normal batteries instead of the included batte..

Perfect for the price.....
I bought this product primarily for my 9-year old's use in the car on those long trips. However, the unit is so good, that we use it a lot more often. There are many reviews here, so I won't go into much detail. I just want to say that I am extremely happy I purchased this device. It was deliver..

Good, but not good enough
I have read all the previous rewiews from others, and decided to get one. It is, indeed, a good DVD player for the price. But my DVD player quits playing after the first week with my 3 year-old daughter. It is a good enough DVD player that I decided to send back to Amazon for a replacement...

Do not expect S-video
I bought this player expecting to connect the S-video at times to my home system.Firstly, the S-video connection is completely non-standard.Secondly, the company does not provide, nor to buy, an appropriate s-video connector.Instead, the technical support refers you to *buy* an adapter (that is actu..
