Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

You'll never have to miss a favorite TV show or movie when you have the Audiovox D1210 portable DVD player/TV combo. This lightweight and slim DVD player and full-featured television plays sharp, vivid pictures on a 12-inch flat-screen LCD display. With the car power adapter, the D1210 can go anywhere with you, but it is great for home use as well.

The D1210 comes with a wide array of DVD essentials, including a fast-scan option that allows you to fly through DVDs, and forward and reverse slow motion viewing. The player remembers where you stopped watching a DVD and resumes where you left off. The D1210 also includes a parental lock-out feature.

The D1210's television connects to both cable and external antennas. Get your viewing started immediately with automatic channel setup. A helpful onscreen menu guides you through the initial selection of your viewing preferences. If you want a larger picture, you can also connect the unit to another TV to enjoy watching DVDs on a bigger screen.

The D1210 features 3D virtual surround sound through its built-in speakers. By linking the player to an audio receiver with external speakers, you can achieve a fuller sound. The player has two headphone jacks so you can share your DVD viewing with a friend, and the D1210 comes with a set of wireless headphones that allow you to watch movies without being chained to the player.

The unit also comes with a kit that makes it easy to hang the player on your car seats--simply hook the mounting rings to your headrests and enjoy the show--and a storage bag that allows you to safely take the player anywhere. You can power the unit through a regular wall outlet or run it in the car with the DC power adapter. The D1210 connects easily to other audio and video components with RCA-type composite input and output slots.

What's in the Box

4.0 out of 5 stars Audiovox DVD Player D1210 User Review, January 31, 2004

By

This review is from: Audiovox D1210 DVD Player with 12.1-Inch LCD Screen (Electronics)

I just bought this DVD player. Rather than installing a video system in our new van, we bought this so that we could not only keep the kids occupied on trips, but have something to take into the hotels to watch. I was unable to find any reviews on this, and when you are spending this much money, it would be nice to find the pluses and minuses. So here are mine:

Pluses: This is the largest screen for mobile DVD that I could find. The picture is clear, the sound is fantastic, but even more impressive to me is the infrared headsets that comes with this unit. The headsets make it sound like you are in a movie theatre, and you don't have to have wires strung through the vehicle. The unit also has a TV so that if you buy an antennae (not included), you can use it while you travel. Otherwise, you can easily hook it up to cable in your house. The carrying bag that comes with the unit is very nice and holds everything that you need for using the player. You can plug the unit into the wall for operation or into your cigerette lighter, depending where you are using it, and the unit comes complete with the attachements to hang it on the seats or you can also sit it up on the bed on on a counter for watching at home.

Minuses: So far, the major disappointment with this product is the fact that the first time that we played a DVD, we noticed that there are a few dead pixels in the screen. Although I figured that I could take it back, my concern is that I may end up on a wild goose chase trying to find one that is good. It would seem that for $700, the screen that they put into this unit would not be having dead pixels. The speakers that attach to the side of the screen must be attached in order for them to work - it would be nice if they could either be attached, or be separate. And finally, whenever we want to watch it in the hotel, it is kind of a pain that you have to take it out of its protective casing in order to open the bracket that supports it for standing up. It would be nice if you could keep it in the case.

Like the first reviewer, I bought this because I wanted to use it more places than just in a single vehicle. We can use it in my car, my wife's car, the VW camper, or inside. The permanently roof mounted vehicle units cost more and lack this versatility.

The first one I got had a bad pixel (always bright) so I exchanged it and the second one was fine. The sound is excellent, either with the speakers or the nice infrared headsets that come with it. I would like to find a couple more of those.

I also bought a Beamit 400FM device, which plugs into one of the headphone jacks and sends the sound to the vehicle stereo via FM -- just tune to the right FM channel. It works great, but I did have to discover that I needed the WOW off (a feature in the Audiovox) and the volume low. Then I just turned up the car stereo to the desired volume level. Now, when driving, I can at least listen to the movie.

I like this item, and the only negative I would mention is the speakers not working when detatched.

Ok, I am on my 3rd exchange. I have had 2 failed units. They both failed on the video side of the unit, but the audio continued to work. The latest exchange has audio problems, and a dead pixel, and I've only had it one day. Don't buy this, or if you do, don't say I didn't warn you. I wouldn't buy any audiovox product. They don't care that the unit is sub standard. I e-mailed them about the units, and their reply was as follows: "Sorry you're having problems with this model" unquote. End of story, no help or offer to help. I would never recommend this to anyone. Buyer Beware!
