2.0 out of 5 stars do not buy, July 12, 2007

This review is from: Audiovox D2017 10.2-Inch Slim Line Portable DVD Player (Personal Computers)

Cost cutting in many places is evident with this unit. The screen resolution is 800x480 , but not as sharp as other players with high end screen display. The unit does not have a true last scene memory function , but one that is totally useless for resuming a program from where it previously stopped. Why is this done-- cost savings ? Also, the AV input does not work .I would stay away from this player

This review is from: Audiovox D2017 10.2-Inch Slim Line Portable DVD Player (Personal Computers)

Note: This review applies to the Audiovox D2017PK. Not sure if the D2088 is the same or not...

Pros:
----
* You get a 10 inch 800*480 resolution screen, a bag and two headphones for the money.

* The player is very compact. It is as big as it needs to be to contain the screen and no bigger.

* The battery is external which means you can get an additional battery, if you can find one.

* The player supports PAL format DVDs and has a region free hack available. (See other review).


Cons:
----

* I did a side by side comparison with this player and the Philips PET1030. By comparison, the Audiovox has pale colors and a less sharp screen.

* No portable DVD has good audio quality using the built in speakers. The Audiovox has average built in speakers, beating the Sony FX820 (which I also tried and sent back), but not as good as the PET1030.

* Sound quality using good quality Headphones was very disappointing.

* Battery life is suspect. Other reviewers have already commented on this. I was not able to test this as my battery was bad and lasted all of 15 minutes on a full charge. This made this purchase an automatic return.

* No proper bookmark or position memory. If you turn the player off and on again, your DVD will start from the beginning. The instructions do claim to have this feature, but this is what you have to do to use it. 1) Switch the DVD player to auxiliary input (this turns of the DVD rotation). 2) Close the lid (This turns off the DVD display). Note that the player is still using some battery in this mode and is not truly off.

* Some features, such as picture settings are only available using the remote. Not available using the controls on the player.


Conclusion:
-----------

* Worth considering if you want something cheep for the kids in the back of the car.

* No worth considering if you want the best quality picture and sound.

This was just what I needed....we're using this strictly for long road trips and so I wanted a big screen for the kids. This included a nice case and decent ear phones. For the money, I think this was a great purchase!
