Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A perfect road or home DVD/CD player for kids and other entertainment-hungry souls, RCA's BLD774 offers MP3 file playback and a choice of stereo speakers or dual headphone jacks. Its seven-inch widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) LCD comes with a clear protective cover and renders high-contrast images even in outdoor light. RCA has carefully designed this unit for interior car safety and hours of viewing enjoyment for your passengers (not to mention the peace and quiet you'll love).

Its lightweight design (approximately 9 pounds) and built-in handle makes it a welcome travel partner, and its offers easy seatbelt pass-through for secure placement in vehicles using standard rear-seat center belts. The unit features a collapsing screen with a "drop-forward" LCD panel. The interior and driver-facing panel cluster are backlit for quick access, but without distraction. All audio/video cables, including headphone jacks, exit the unit conveniently behind the view screen, again preventing terminal plugs from facing toward viewers.

The MobileFlex slot-loading disc system and transport are designed to withstand most road vibrations, even during play. The motorized disc-loading slot reduces the threat of dust, dirt, and spills, and the vacuum-load design also eliminates sharp edges and accidental breakage that occur with low-cost CD drawers during travel. Additionally, both the unit's DC transformer and AC step-down housing are built-in, allowing connecting cables to be sleek and easy to use--there' no heavy, bulky "wall wart" at the end of the AC cord, just a UL-approved two-prong connector.

The BLD774 includes standard audio and video outputs (composite-video, stereo analog RCA audio) for easy playback through compatible larger TVs, and the unit can play when its built-in screen is either up or down (closed and off). A special expansion AV output allows hookup of an additional video screen with audio to be added as an option--it even channels DC current to the second screen. The player comes with a car cigarette-lighter DC power adapter and a built-in storage compartment.

Last but certainly not least, the unit includes stereo AV input terminals to allow stereo game units, camcorders, and other devices to be connected and pass signals through to the built-in speakers or to the stereo headphone jacks.

What's in the Box
DVD player, car-cigarette DC power adapter, AC power cord, remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Item;poor sound;great customer service, October 16, 2002

Kathy A Redden (Cheshire, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RCA BLD774 Mobile DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD (Electronics)

Pros:
Excellent video quality
Very Compact
Nice Features
Supurb costomer service

Cons:
Very poor sound (must
buy headphones to use)

All in all this is an excellent item. The Sound quality is so poor, that I couldnt use this item until I bought a pair of good head phones. The Costomer service at Amazon.com was the best Ive ever seen. The first unit that was sent to me had a problem with the screen(which should be bigger, it was innefective at this size). The LCD display would not light correctly on one side of the screen, so I sent an email to Amazon.com's costomer service center, and right away(within the next day) I revieved and answer. They said it would be fine, to just send them the deffective player, and they would send out a new one(checked over personally by them) ASAP. And I guess they did, because the new item arrived within the next week. Orrigionally I wasnt supposed to recieve the player for another two weeks, so all in all, I recieved the second, working one, before it was predicted that I would get the first one. THANK YOU AMAZON.COM. If you order this product from Amazon.com you will be amazed by the quality of the product and service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product, July 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: RCA BLD774 Mobile DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD (Electronics)

Easily the best mobile DVD player you can buy for the car, short of having an expensive professional system installed.

This unit is also safer than those "in a bag" portable DVD players, which hang on the back of the seat. Imagine what would happen in a car accident with one of those. I wouldn't want to be sitting behind it.
The RCA rests on the seat, and is buckled in with the seatbelt, a much better (and safer) design.

The only downside is there is no battery, but if you are using this for the car, or for a hotel room, you simply don't need one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could use resume play after power outage, May 23, 2004

By 

JOO (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RCA BLD774 Mobile DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD (Electronics)

This is a nice LCD DVD player. I like the fact that this operates in DC and AC modes without bulky power adaptors. The cables and remote neatly hide in the small storage compartment. My kids figured out the operation with zero help from me.

The only feature I'd like to see is the ability to resume playback after a power outage. The 12V power plug in my car cuts out when I start the car. Unfortunately, the DVD player insists on starting all over again. This is only a small inconvenience since we use this player primarily for long trips.
