Portable DVD players are great inventions. They are more portable than a laptop, though they can't do as much, and often the graphics and audio are just as good if not better. The Audiovox D1705 is a great way to entertain kids or teens. Another great thi ...
Pros: Solid construction, Attractive appearance. Nice picture, Attractive remote. 3 hour battery life. Cons: Does not Play DTS soundtrack (contrary to manual). Bulky battery.No battery strength meter.
It is hard for me to dislike this player. The D1705 appearance is easy on the eyes. After looking at several comparable units, I must say that I'm very pleased with the D1705 player. The design of the unit is extremely well designed and thin. Less than ...
Pros: Car Adapter Included, Great Color & Sound - CHEAP!! Cons: Battery is a tad bit heavy - NOTHING ELSE WRONG!
I love this DVD player. I picked the D1705 up at Costco for $269.99. I needed something for to kill time while on long work flights. This player did the trick. Not only do you get great sound quality (its all about the quality of the headsets you buy) ...
Pros: Solid performance compared to other makes and models. Nice design. Quiet operation. Cons: Lacks some audio features found in other similar products.
I have compared several budget priced portable DVD players over the past month. The three players I've had a chance to both use and compare are the Audiovox D1705, the Initial 1731 and the Mintek 1720. The Initial and the Mintek are very similar in ...
Pros: Remote control for easy access if you're in the car. A good buy for price. Cons: Easily scratched. Appears to break easily. Very expensive to get fixed by Audiovox.
We picked up the D1705 for a 12 hour trip with two toddlers last year. We wanted something they would both be able to see and hear easily in the second row of minivan seats. The D1705 was an affordable purchase. However, there were a couple of issue ...
useful only one time,broke after that by liz2 ,Dec 16 '04
Pros: great graphics Cons: only worked once
I received this DVD AudioVox for my birthday after reading the good reviews and asking for it.
What a disappointment!.
After one movie on it,I was thrilled with the graphics and looked forward to bring it on my trips
I was unable to play anything else and unfortunatly ,I waited until one of my friends could take a look at it in case I was not operating it properly.
When I called the company,several months later,the lady I spoke with told me it was a]definitly defective,b]out of warranty,c]it would cost a minimum of ninety three dollars to fix . Since I have used it exactly once,I am very disappointed and will never purchase from that company again ,Liz2
Audiovox D1705 portable dvd player by mikayla-autumn ,Jan 03 '05
Pros: it is great and I would buy it all over again Cons: none
My husband and I bought this dvd player and it is outstanding. We have used it several times and it didn't overhead at all. The picture is perfect and the sound is great with or without headphones. I am very happy with this unit.
Outstanding DVD player by laxman789852 ,Jan 02 '04
Pros: Price is incredible, payed $260 at costco, huge screen, good picture Cons: no scan feature, no battery indicator.
I bought this DVD player at Costco, and was at first a little skeptical. But it turned out to be a great buy. The value is absolutely unbeatable. The player includes a 7'' LCD screen, remote control, more wires and chargers that you know that to do with, and a sleek design (when the battery is detached). The only flaw I can find in the player is that it can't scan forward or back, it can only skip scenes or go back to scenes. Also, I took this player on a airplane trip from Boston to San Francisco and even amid the bumpiest flight i have ever flown, it never even skipped. I highly, highly recommend this DVD player.
Great picture but not durable for traveling by akmark ,Nov 10 '03
Pros: Great picture and sound, with headset, good battery life Cons: overheats and easily dented
I bought this player for my wife to use on a 10 day trip to see the grandkids. She enjoyed being able to listen to her music and watch her DVD's on the plane and during a four hour layover. However, when she got to her destination she found that playing it for several hours, showing the grandkids picture cd's and movies, caused it to get very hot. At one point she had to turn it off because she was afraid it would "melt." On her trip home she tried to play it and it would not load any of her discs. I checked it and made sure the battery was fully charged and found the same thing.
Bottom line: We took it back to the retailer for a refund and intend on getting another brand next time we purchase one.
Pros: Good quality picture
Easy to use
7" screen Cons: We have no compliants about the player, other than not including headphones with the package
My wife and I recently bought one to bring with us to Cancun for our daughter. I was able to get it at BJ's.
The flight was about 4 hrs and we had the player on for 2-3 hrs of the trip with no issues. The player never seemed to get that hot.
Screen quality seems pretty good. I have no compliants about the quality. Its really hard to find a 7" screen for the price we got it for. Sound is not bad,
Once we arrived, we were able to use the available RF cables to hook it up to the TV in the hotel. So, basically we could play any movies we wanted for our daughter.
The player includes ( only thing its missing is headphones )
The player itself,
battery
A/C recharger
Car charger
RF cables for TV
RF cables ( to hook up Video systems )
Remote control.
I bought a CaseLogic DVD case for it, that was really good for carrying it on the plane, and can be used to hook it up in the mini-van.
Review of the Audiovox D1705 Portable DVD Player by vicdiscoaolcom ,Dec 29 '03
Pros: Good picture Cons: Doesn't work
We first purchased the Audiovox D1705 Portable DVD player to take on a trip at Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, it stopped working after the first DVD. It would get stuck and not continue playing the disc. We exchanged it for another player of the same make and three weeks later this one won't load the disc. I suggest another brand to anyone looking to purchase a portable DVD player. It's too bad really, because the picture (when we saw one) was good.
Pros: Great buy. Low to NO sound from disc spinng, easy to use, good picture Cons: Haven't found any yet, someone wrote about the scan feature, so that could be one.
I have been in the market looking for a great player and an amazing price. Well I got mine from QVC ~ $248.00 and it came with mounting kit, carry case, 2 head phones (work very well too), all the cables, car adapter, remote and battery that attaches to the bottom ~ not bulky or heavy when it's on.
Unbelievable price for a 7" screen.
Picture is clear, sound it good, LOW TO NO SOUND from the disc spinning, easy to use with TV at home.
Very pleased with the purchase.
Pros: Picture and Sound quality is good Cons: Battery won't last the length of movie. Additional battery from dealer is $100.
I purchased the Audiovox 1705 about a month age. The only complain I have is the battery life. The battery does not last for the length of an average movie, and to make matters worst Audiovox sells additional battery for $100.
