4.0 out of 5 stars Some Questions I Had, Answered, December 6, 2004

By	Slarty Bartfast "Climbing Nerd" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This is a preliminary review, just bought the thing, still learning about it, but here goes:

I bought this for the car, but it makes a great little tv at home, too. The screen is much nicer than my friends OEM dvd player, much bigger.

The speakers plug into the sides, not connected by wires. They snap (not too) easily on/off. The FM modulator is a widget on the lighter plug, and you can set it to a variety of stations to get it to come in. It works just fine. One drawback, the video/audio out (fm modulator) uses the same plugs as the IN, you just switch a switch. So this means you can't run the fm modulator and an input (gamecube) at the same time. But the speakers still work, so gamecube can use the ports as an "in" and the sound can then come out the speakers. Ok, I guess.

The thing comes with straps that allow you to suspend it between two seats in the car. But if the seats are tilted, then the screen is tilted. Audiovox should have done some field testing on this. But it's not a huge deal, you can still see it OK. The IR transmitter for the headphones works pretty well, so long as you have a line of sight from the transmitter to the headphones. Headphones are nice, not chintzy (SP?) at all.

The screen is beautiful, the dvd player seems to work really well. Can't comment on longevity, just bought it. The whole thing comes in a case that does not have room for the headphones, but everything else fits nicely. The unit has a prop stand integral on the back, which we can use in our kitchen. It also has a standard cable input, which made it really easy to hook to our home cable system, there's different "input" settings for cable v tv v auxiliary. Tv works really well, too. There's a standard plug for home use. Car use requires the cigarette lighter.

There's a nice protective cover for it that doubles as the "sling" for the car seat thingy. The speakers can pop right onto this, you can do everything but use the integral prop. SO they give you another one that you can attach to this cover via velcro and it works pretty well. Nice touch.

Oh, and the remote is acceptable as well, nothing SUPER fancy, but functional. You can control the tv and the dvd with it.

Hope that helps!

4.0 out of 5 stars R-Dub, January 11, 2005

By	R. Wang "R-Dub" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this for about 3 weeks now and got it just in time for a family vacation. I'd expect the price to drop even more given the market competition and technology improvements, but for now, just about right given the features provided.

Pluses: Larger size screen, clear picture, wireless headphones, kept the kids occupied during an 8-hour car ride, portability.

Negatives: Viewing angle can be tricky if the drivers seat and front passenger seat are not at the same depth. IR radio transmitter tends to be a bit "scratchy" since the antennae provided is relatively short. Speakers provided sometimes rattle at higher volumes.

Portability is a double-edged sword. Convenience of transfer to another car, hotel room, etc., but then you have to break down your set-up whenever you park your car in a high-theft area due to its visibility.

Cable TV hook-up is possible, but I haven't tried this yet. This could actually serve as a "nightstand" TV (maybe college student TV) since the monitor has a kickstand and complete AV/Cable tv hook-ups.

Overall, great piece of equipment to keep your car passengers entertained on long trips. It is fulfilling its purpose for this owner

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Picture!, April 14, 2005

By	N. C. Ebsen (Fernley, NV United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this model because of features and included accessories. The FM tramsmitter makes watching musicals in the car like watching at home. The wireless earphones fit everyone from myself to my granddaughter. I enjoyed just unpacking it. The most stunning thing, however was the beautiful picture. I was watching a movie shot in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the picture was better than at home on my 35". It was a little pricey, but worth every cent.
