Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With the Audiovox D1700 portable DVD player, you'll never be bored while traveling. The lightweight player's 7-inch widescreen display uses antiglare and antireflective coatings designed for bright conditions, so you won't have to book a red-eye flight just to be able to watch your movies. The player handles a variety of formats, including audio and MP3-encoded CD-Rs.

Video features
Brightness and color buttons let you adjust the picture to your taste and viewing conditions. A display button cycles through the player's aspect ratios, with its native 16:9 being the default. Other modes are "cinema," "normal," and "off" (you can conserve battery power if you're listening to music).

Audio features
The Audiovox D1700 features built-in stereo speakers. Virtual Surround (by Q Surround) simulates surround sound when you're listening to the latest Hollywood blockbusters via the onboard speakers, headphones, or your home stereo.

Connections
The supplied headphones plug directly into a 0.125-inch headphone jack (compatible with all minijack-terminated headphones). The headphone jack doubles as an optical digital-audio output for use with a minijack-to-Toslink fiber-optic cable (see accessories, below).

The AV outputs (composite-video with stereo analog audio) can also serve as AV inputs. Simply switch "Output" to "Input" and use the provided interconnect to feed the player a signal from a camcorder, VCR, game console, or other video device.

Other features
The player handles a variety of discs including DVDs, Video CDs, audio compact discs, CD-Rs, and MP3-encoded discs. The portable DVD player is powered by a lithium ion battery rated for three hours of playback. A hold switch prevents unintended stopping or starting of disc playback.

In the box
The D1700 comes with a universal AC/DC power adapter, an audio-video interconnect, an S-video cable, earphones, a power cord, a wireless remote control (with battery), rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, vehicle power adapter, and a battery charger.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good product with many glitches, April 16, 2002

This review is from: Audiovox D1700 Portable DVD Player (Electronics)

I got this player for my two sons so we can travel and entertain them at the same time. They like the player, it works particulary well in a car since it comes with a cable to power the player in the car. The battery is OK but a new battery ... can only be bought from Audiovox so it seems a little expensive.

Picture quality is good also on TV, sound is OK when using headphones.

I have had few problems with the player. Some of the problems I have had is the player is very sensitve to scrathes and fingerprints on DVDs, my Matrix DVD plays fine in other players but the Audiovox does not play it because of a few scrathes, it has problems with similar other DVDs in my collection with lots of playtime.

I have had to return the product as it simply cannot play DVDs that last more than an hour and a half, when ever I get to the last 20% of a normal 2 hour movie, it will hang, make pixelation or simply skip parts of the movie, this happens even if I just turned on the player and forwarded to this part of the movie.

Do NOT buy this product. I will be buying the Audiovox D1680 in stead. I researched the net, and the two players are not made by the same ...company for Audiovox, so I expect to have less trouble with the D1680.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!, January 17, 2003

Jeff S (Ma, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Audiovox D1700 Portable DVD Player (Electronics)

We purchased one of these last month, all it managed to do was destroy the DVDs that were played.

What's even worse is the service we received from Audiovox. They first told us that they wouldn't take the product back because we were playing defective DVDs in it. Then They wanted to send a refurb in exchange for a brand new player. Then we forced the product return.

We still haven't resolved the issue of replacing or paying for the brand spanking new DVDs that the Audiovox player ruined. Audiovox is entirely unwilling to make any effort to resolve this.

Don't buy this player. I would go as far as to say if you are smart you won't buy ANY Audiovox product. You would be taking too much of a risk on reciving a poor quality product AND too much of a risk of reciving poor (and rude) customer service.

1.0 out of 5 stars Audiovox D1700...go back to D1680!, July 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Audiovox D1700 Portable DVD Player (Electronics)

Read the luke warm reviews, but took a chance anyway. Returned the unit after only a week. Picture was beautiful, but skipped and pixelized too often. Tried numerous DVDs, but still kept skipping. I then bought the Toshiba 8" unit and returned it after one day (sound was bad...I should also have taken reviews to heart). I now happily own the Audiovox 1680! A little heavier, but it lives up to all expectations.
