4.0 out of 5 stars I did encounter the same recharging problems and ..., March 7, 2006
This review is from: Audiovox D1420 4.2-Inch Portable DVD Player with Built In Rechargeable Battery (Electronics)
Just do what was mentioned below by the other reviewer. Plug in the DVD with the power switch on and watch an entire movie (90+ minutes). After doing this, remove the plug, turn the POWER switch OFF, then start recharging it. Once you do this, it keeps the charge for up to 2+ hours. Also, I noticed that I encounter the recharging problem when I recharged it with the power switch ON (which usually happens if my stop arrives first before the end of the movie and I throw this into my bag and forget to turn the player off), and then turn it off later thinking that it's the only way for this to take the charge (this is like 2 secs to 5 minutes after realizing I left it on, not the entire 90+ minutes like the resolution above). THAT is when it starts crapping out and only recharges up to a certain point. Just do the process mentioned above again. Total pain if it happens. But I've never had a problem whenever I remember to turn it off before recharging. My friend calls it a battery memory problem. No idea how or why but there is something about it (he read about this apparently - geek).

If not for the recharging issue, I would have given it five stars. But when it's working, definitely worth it! Very light (however you will feel the disk turn if you are holding this). Plays MP3s and shows JPG pictures which I burned on my dvds. Sound quality using earphones... amazing! You can adjust the brigthness of the pictures. Screen is a bit small for closed caption but can be considered a good size for plain viewing.

All in all, this is a great product, especially for the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars No remote and carry-case not mountable, October 27, 2005
This review is from: Audiovox D1420 4.2-Inch Portable DVD Player with Built In Rechargeable Battery (Electronics)
I just received mine. It's great.

However, contrary to Amazon's "Product Information", there is NO "full function wireless remote" included. And (also contrary to Amazon's info), the "nylon carry case that's mountable to a car headrest" is surely NOT mountable to a car headrest (unless you have x-ray vision to see through the nylon).

I'd very much like to know what's going on. Is there some NEWER version of this product with these features, and Amazon sent me an old one?

2.0 out of 5 stars Not sure if I will keep it, November 19, 2005
This review is from: Audiovox D1420 4.2-Inch Portable DVD Player with Built In Rechargeable Battery (Electronics)
Just got it and I'm not sure if I will keep it. The buttons are all in different awkward places, including the manual "open" for putting in the DVD. The "joystick" button for moving thru on- screen menus is hard to use and very annoying. There is no remote control. You have to buy your own cable if you want to connect to a TV; i could swear the description I had read said it was included (it was probably last years description). I ordered silver, and received blue, though that's ok with me. (Had I known pink was available, I would have gone for that. And note some versions come with free headphones at no additional cost). I think the speakers are awful - sound tinny and intrusive- i've known transistor radios with better speakers and may connect it to my I-Dog instead. But the screen is sharp and crisp with flexible controls for brightness and contrast (if you don't mind using the annoying "joystick", so if that's the most important thing and perhaps only important thing for a viewer, only then would I recommend this. The flip up stand is useful.
