4.0 out of 5 stars Great Option for the money, August 30, 2008

By	Mary S. Roper (Point B, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the first portable DVD Player I have owned. However after reading many reviews on other systems I took a chance with the 9 inch Audiovox. So far this unit has proven to be a good buy. With the 9 inch screen the picture quality is excellent especially when watching movies in wide screen mode.

Like most other portable DVD reviews I saw the external speakers will work fine if you are in a quite place, if not you will need earphones to hear the movie or music.

This unit has comes with a 3 point AV Jack conversion so you may use the system as a standard DVD play with a TV or LCD Projector.

I have used the unit with DVDs, DVD-R, music CD's, MP3 disk, and have also dropped some MP3 files onto a USB Tumb drive all work very well.

The only drawback I will note is the short battery life, only plan on two hour maximum. The product details only indicate a 2.5 hour battery. This is not an issue for me because I am almost always near some type of power outlet. This unit comes with a cigarette lighter power adapter and a 110 - 240 electric power adapter.

For the price I would recommend this product..

5.0 out of 5 stars Best picture for portable DVD, March 8, 2009

By	Muzikman "DJNT" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

If you're looking for one of the best portable DVD players with the best PICTURE, look no further. I've shopped around in Best Buy, Circuit City, Walmart and other stores and I would probably rate this DVD with the best picture. It's even better than any of the Sony portable players I've seen!

Also, this player has a USB port and a 3-card flash media (SD/MMC/Memory Stick) that a lot of portable players do NOT have.

This unit comes with the mandatory car adapter, AC/DC adapter, RCA composite cable to 1/8 plug (for AV IN/OUT) also. The only thing that is not great about this unit is the battery, which only last 3 hours.

I owned the 9" D1917 (last years model) which is pretty much the same as this model for over a year with no problems. The only reason why I'm buying this model is because I lost (or may have been stolen) the original one.

It's worth owning this one just for the GREAT PICTURE quality!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great picture/sound for a value priced portable., December 8, 2009

By	Dan A. Junker (Stillwater, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

We purchased this for our son who likes to watch movies on trips. We wanted a 9" that had a quality picture at the lowest price. After searching through reviews this is what we found and have been very happy with the unit. Other reviews indicate the battery life is low but that will likely never be an issue since our van has a power-outlet. The controls are very simple to use which was another huge bonus. And one more comment ... it runs very quiet! Note that most of our experience has been with headphone usage - no problem with volume level.
