wow what a piece of junk
Last year around Christmas I decided that the best thing to get would be a portable DVD player. I looked around on the Internet for hours before I came to the conclusion that the Initial IDM-1810 Portable DVD Player was the one for my money. I looked at some reviews and everything seemed fine but I ..

Disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I could relive the moment I hit the 'place my order' key on this one, I would!!! I got this for my kids just before Christmas last year and in less than six months, the screen started going black any time it moved. Because I contacted the company a little over a year after the item was purchase..

Very disappointing, malfunctions, not durable.
I purchased this unit over a year ago. Within the first three uses it started malfunctioning. I have had numerous problems -
Black screen - I have had problems with the screen going black and staying black even after several days (ie. it's not overheated). The only solution I found that works is..

Be advised!
I recently purchased the Initial IDM-1810 Portable DVD Player with 8" LCD and Car Kit. Be advised that Initial's "Car Kit" is only a car cigarette lighter plug. Initial's IDM -1810 Portable DVD Player with 8" LCD(no Car Kit) comes with a car cigarette lighter plug. Why is the Car Kit included in the..

PLEASE DO NOT BUY
I'm only giving this piece of junk 1 star because the rating scale is from 1 to 5. I wish I could give it a -10 !!!!Unfortunately I did not read all the reviews of this product. I was in a hurry to buy a portable DVD player and saw the screen size for the price. BAD move. I too have the problem ..

No fast forward on the unit
I have tried to find a portable DVD with a fast forward on the unit, to no avail. I don't want to carry a remote with me to simply fast forward. Typical scenario: Watch DVD in terminal, board plane and shut off DVD player, plane takes off, turn on DVD player, wait up to 15 minutes!!! for the scene t..

Power cables do not work well

You Never Know Until You Try It For Yourself!
B4 I type in my review, I have browse the web a lot reading various reviews and models of portable DVD Players. Regardless of bad reviews I too bought this player and got a different feeling to it.

I would not buy this item again
I am in the process of returning mine for a refund. As soon as I plugged it into the car charger, the screen went dark. Contrary to the other review this was NOT solved by leaving the battery pack on the unit. I had the battery pack on the unit and the screen went blank after plugging into the ca..

The WORST Portable DVD Player Period!
My previous review of this product was based on a big mistake. I thought that the DVD player would work with the AC adapter or DC adapter as long as the battery was attached. It did work that way for me, but little did I know at the time that it was because the battery was fully charged and it was..

Circuit City 830 model
I got this for Christmas, and had not heard of the brand. I read these reviews with some concern of the quality. I had the screen once go black when using a/c with the battery pack on, but I reconnected the battery pack and it has work fine. I did intermittently get 4 white bars at the top of th..

Doesn't work in car
The IDM-1810 is the same as Circuit City's Initial IDM-830. That's what I bought. The picture is crystal clear and the volume is loud enough for car use. It's definitely a better picture than the comparable Mintek 8" unit. Everything about the Initial unit is nice, except one fatal flaw. The sc..

The FINEST Portable player available
Amazon has really outdone itself with this package deal. I've shopped around forever for one of these players and have gotten an average price range of 1200-400 for an 8" player. I was a little skeptical at first buying initial since they didn't have as much market presence as the other brands, bu..

Black Screen of Death
Do NOT -- I repeat DO NOT buy this unit. I made the mistake of purchasing it at Circuit City on a Friday for a week-long trip. Got on the plane, turned on the unit and within 5 minutes, the screen was black. I arrived at my destination, went into the local Circuit City and we went through 3 brand..
