Don't get me wrong, this is a nice DVD player. The only ways to operate it though are by using the car adapter or the wall adapter. Don't ever plan to take this on long flights, because there is no battery in this player. So portable? Maybe, as long as you are near an electrical outlet or are traveling by car and can use the car adapter. Other than not having a battery, i would have given this 5 stars.

My son received this DVD player as a gift. He loves to be able to watch "Nemo" in the car. The picture was great and it worked well for the first month. After that we would have to turn it on and off to get it working. Sometimes I had to push different buttons and play around with it to get it to come on at all. After 4 months it started sometimes working and sometimes playing sound only, no video. Finally, after 5 months of using it it quit completely and now won't come on at all. I do not consider 5 months long enough and I am very disappointed in this model. To be fair, I did leave it in the car during the hot Florida summer pretty much all the time. Also, my son did kick it now and then.

We go thru portable DVDs at the rate of 1 per year. I bought this one specifically for use in the car. While the screen is a nice size, it has a number of defects. The case is insecure - the player falls out of it on sharp turns. There is no battery, the player only runs with a power source. And, the player has been inconsistent in use - it sometimes has to be turned off and on a couple of times to run. I'm much happier with the flat screen Audiovox with a velcro fastener and have already purchased a second one of those. I'm planning to give this player away.

BAD DVD PLAYER. Stop working after a month. Returned it and got a new same one, it still works terrible. Stops, freeze and had to spent half an hour trying to turn it on everytime. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE.

I've had this portable DVD player for over 4 years, and it's been nothing but good to me. I bought it to entertain my toddler at the time, and has provided consistently good, and reliable service the whole time. We've used it daily, on vacations, and even on cruises. It's been flawless. The sound was the biggest question mark when I bought it, but once I received it, I realized that was not an issue. It sounds very clear, and surprisingly stays clear, even when quite loud. I've got no complaints in the picture department, either. Sharp, clear, and bright picture since day one.

So the sound is good, and the picture is good. Add to that the convenience of AC or DC power (with accessories included), complete remote, and the flexibility to strap it to a headrest, sunvisor, or use the built-in, pull out stand to support it on a desk or table, and you've got a compact, completely self-contained system that is very practical.

Be warned, even though it offers all the flexibility mentioned above, you must be plugged in somehow to power up, because there is no battery option. You cannot go "wireless," and rely on battery power -- such as on a plane, or camping, etc. Knowing that limitation, I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone.

This is a great little device that keeps the kids quiet for TWO WHOLE HOURS on the car ride to summer vacations! It's got a nice, crisp picture, and my wife uses it in the kitchen while she's cooking. It fits anywhere, and is great for the whole family!

The player didn't work right out of the box. Returned for a credit and bought a Zenith at the local BestBuy.

I bought this July 24th and loved it. Today is September 8th; I am 8 days out of my warranty and the video stopped working. Sound is fine. Video is there but you have to look very close it is so dim. Very disapointed.

I bought 2 of these specifically for use in the car and the hotel room on our spring break. They are perfect! Reasonably priced to begin with, I was amazed at the value of what I actually got, which included AC adapters, DC adapters, a cable to connect 2 or more units (to watch the same movie), remote controls and cases that attached to the back of the headrests in my car.

The picture is crisp, the sound clear and the unit perfectly sized. The kids watched them in the cases in the car and then in bed in the hotel. The cases were well-designed to hold the unit securely while allowing access to all of the controls and the dual headphone jacks. The unit can also be used with video game players.

I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a decent product at a great price!

Will recommend it for anyone going on a long trip. Clear and stable picture, with clear sound and user-friendly remote control.
