After having this product for just a few days, here are some first impressions of my first portable DVD player. The screen resolution is not as good as I would have hoped, but it is good enough. Scenes with a lot of small detail may disappoint, but when larger less complex images are viewed, the detail is amazingly good. The built-in speakers are a little tinny, but again, good enough. On the other hand, the headphone sound is very good indeed. My new fully-charged battery lasted 2 hours 40 minutes, not the 3 hours suggested, but we are all familiar with overly optimistic battery life claims!

The real reason to buy this unit is the portability factor, which allows it to be used in the car, and the two sets of headphones should keep two children relatively calm on car trips. But the folding headphones may be a challenge and so kids and adults alike should be informed of their fragile nature. Speaking of fragile, the disc door is thin plastic, and may break if closed roughly or mishandled. A sturdier door would be a good idea.

I had hoped this unit would be an upgraded model of the D1708PK, but it appears the only difference is that this model sports a black case. It looks really sharp though. When handled with care, this product should give long service, and anyone looking for a DVD player for use in a vehicle should give it consideration. The bonus pack with the two sets of headphones, the adapters, cables, remote, etc., make it a no-brainer.

We purchased this to keep the kids entertained on long trips and that's exactly what it does! The headsets are a blessing and the picture is great (and the adjustability works well). Easily placed on a lap or attaches to the vehicle's headrest. For the money I don't think you'll find a better product!

I was just going to replace my daughter's old portable DVD player since it's been skipping. But, I ended up getting one each for my two kids so they can have them in their rooms and/or take them on trips and not fight over what to watch. They're teenagers. Enough said.

So far, so good. The resolution's great, it's very light weight, love the folding headphones (saves so much space!) and the rechargeable battery goes on easily--snaps right on the back of the unit, so no more dangling wire like the old system. For the price, it's a bargain. Highly recommend.
