Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Audiovox's affordable and portable D1500A features a 5-inch, 4:3 aspect ratio LCD and compatibility with DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded discs. Take favorite movies and music on the plane, on the bus, or even in the car for the kids--a supplied adapter lets you power the unit right from a dashboard cigarette lighter. The unit also includes a remote control for hassle-free operation in tight quarters.

Composite-video and stereo analog-audio inputs and outputs let you hook the player up to other audio/video gear for viewing on a TV or--as with video games--through the D1500A's own screen. All audio and video inputs and outputs are of the minijack .125-inch size, so compatible adapter cables are required (one stereo analog audio and one composite-video cable are supplied).

The supplied rechargeable NiMH batteries provide up to three hours of playback (power consumption depends on the operations of the player, such as screen brightness, volume level, etc). The battery pack features high storage capacity and low susceptibility to degradation, as the NiMH batteries don't have a "memory effect," making it safe to recharge them irrespective of whether they're fully or only partially spent. Generally, the batteries need about five hours for complete charging.

Playback options include frame-by -frame slow motion, zoom, and multiple angle viewing (with applicable discs). Headphones are not included.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, AC power adapter, DC cigarette-lighter adapter, rechargeable battery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super machine, great value., November 9, 2003

By	Trevor J. Hall (PERRY,, ME USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The player is everything that it claims to be. The instruction manual is simple and accurate. The picture is crystal clear and the controls either on the remote or the player itself are easy to operate and understand. The battery has given about 6 hours playback time and will charge whilst the unit is playing and connected to an external power source in the car or at home.
It is a go anywhere machine, so far I have only played DVD discs, but the sound is excellent, but when it is piped through my minivan's sound system, then the performance really qualifies as outstanding.
It is hard to see how a unit this size could be better - why pay more?

4.0 out of 5 stars World Traveler, December 27, 2003

By A Customer

This is a great unit for the price. I've watched 2 DVD's while on a flight using battery power. The picture and sound are clear and the unit is very user friendly. I also hooked up our video camera and game counsel to it. This unit is a blast with all the options. I have not used the car adapter yet, but I'm glad it is there. I held off on giving it a 5 only because I would have liked a larger screen, and the unit is thicker than the others. It doesn't fit well in the Targus DVD case very well. I'd recomendd getting all the stuff you want to cary with it, headphones and DVD's and trying out the fit at a camera shop. I eneded up using a video camera bag and it all fits fine. If you are a frequent flyer I highly recomend Noise Canceling headsets, I'm sure Amazon has some for you to chose. Over all, a great little item.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT Well worth the money!, May 3, 2004

By	N. Drake "N. Drake" (St. Helena Island, South Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this portable DVD because of the reviews that I read on Amazon.com only. I bought one previously from Wal-Mart (Cyber-Home) and found that it got horrible reviews so I returned it, got my money back and ordered the Audiovox D1500A from amazon.com's store.

For $177.00 bucks total, the D1500A can't be beat. Great picture, great sound, not too big, not too small. Overall a great product, and since I bought it from the amazon.com store, it arrived in a very short period of time and I have no fear of replacement if that becomes necessary. I do suggest that you buy a set of good airplane headphones and an extra battery.

ATTENTION: Six months after writing this glowing review, the thing died on me. Skips, hangs up, voice does not coordinate with picture, battery gets so hot on long plane trips it burns your lap. Change the 5 stars to one half star. Don't waste your hard earned money on this thing, check the Panasonic DVD-LS 50 Portatble DVD Players.
