Dual XDVD181 7-Inch LCD TFT Portable DVD Player With Case

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 do not recommend this product and do not recommend Amazon for products you need to work upon arrival.

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.

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!
