Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Smaller than a laptop but bigger than a conventional portable disc player, Audiovox's D2010 portable DVD player features a broad, 10.2-inch widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) LCD and compatibility with DVD-Video, DVD-R/DVD-RW, DVD+R/DVD+RW, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded music discs. You can even enjoy an onscreen slideshow of your digital photos from standard recordable CDs filled with JPEG image files. Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's optical digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver, making this unit as useful in the home as out.

Composite-video and stereo analog-audio inputs and outputs let you hook up additional AV gear for viewing through the D2010, including camcorders and gaming consoles--perfect for keeping the kids happy during long trips. All audio and video inputs and outputs are of the minijack .125-inch size, so compatible adapter cables are required (1 stereo analog audio and 1 composite-video cable are supplied).

Planning an overseas vacation? This is the player for you: the D2010's supplied AC power adapter accepts inputs from 100 to 240 volts AC (50 or 60 Hz). The D2010 also comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides up to 3 hours of playback (power consumption depends on the operations of the player, such as screen brightness, volume level, etc). Headphones are not included.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote battery, a stereo analog audio cable, a composite-video adapter cable, a DC vehicle power adapter, a user's manual, and warranty information.

2.0 out of 5 stars Your head is dirty..., September 10, 2005

This review is from: Audiovox D2010 10.2-Inch Widescreen Ultraslim Portable DVD Player (Electronics)

It all began after a few hours worth of use, the head began to jump and thrash inside the unit. Brand new player and a new DVD. I called Audiovox and was told that DVD was scratched or dirty. I repeated that I had tried several DVDs fresh out of their cases with the same results. OK, then the tech decided the head was dirty and I was instructed that I must buy and use a DVD head cleaner, a disc that looks like a false eyelash has been glued to it. I mentioned that this DVD player was brand new and nothing had been allowed to near the head. In the end, I bought a cleaner and the problem persisted.

The second call to Audiovox went the same, though I told them it happen when using brand new DVDs, the DVD must be scratched or dirty. Once we got past that, the head was dirty, though the unit was new and I had now used a head cleaner. Eventually this tech caved in and told me what to do to send the unit in for repair.

Over three weeks later we received a refurbished player tossed into a box without the batteries for the headphones and the remote. A quick call to the support department got me the watch battery for the remote, but they forgot the headphone batteries.

This one seemed to work fine, until the night we tried to watch Return of the King, halfway through... whirrrr... clunk... clunk... burp... clunk... whirrrr... (It really hates the transition point on dual layer DVDs)

Another phone call to Audiovox and the same response, "the DVD or the head must be dirty"... I gave up...

-----
As others have said, the sound really is weak and "tinny" and unless you can keep your head still for an entire movie, the wireless headphones are worthless. Plus the fact that you may be gambling on getting a junk player (If you do, save yourself the hassle and three week wait by taking it straight back to the store.) caused me to rate this player so low.

3.0 out of 5 stars PURCHASE WARNING, February 12, 2005

This review is from: Audiovox D2010 10.2-Inch Widescreen Ultraslim Portable DVD Player (Electronics)

I know that this product seems great. It has almost everything built into it, especially a VERY FRAGILE SCREEN. I bought this DVD player and a 2 year Service Plan. My screen broke within a month (especially when I was extremely careful), as does some of Audiovox's other products (don't believe me, surf the web). Audiovox said that they didn't cover broken screens, even though it's the most delicate part of the system. They were going to charge me $200 to repair it and then give me another 90 day warranty. If it broke again, they were going to charge me AGAIN. I admit, I LOVE the DVD player. But if you value your money, make sure you know what the warranty covers. Audiovox has some issues and the customer service isn't that helpful. Buyers, you have been warned. I surely don't intend on spending $600 or more for this product which should be covered.

3.0 out of 5 stars LOVE Everything But..., June 28, 2005

This review is from: Audiovox D2010 10.2-Inch Widescreen Ultraslim Portable DVD Player (Electronics)

I purchased this to replace a buggy 7" CyberHome unit that didn't work very well. I really love everything about this model. The slim design and large screen are great. The external snap on/off battery is genius - The features and controls are wonderful and it is so easy to use....BUT, like another reviewer mentioned, the picture is WAY too fuzzy and soft for my taste :(

It probably isn't fair to compare the picture to my CyberHome 7" unit because I understand you loose some sharpness and clarity when you go up in size but it's hard not to compare and be disapointed in the picture quality of this otherwise excellent machine.
