  • Highly recommended DVD Player

    Dec 18 '03
    Pros: Great screen size for $ Plays all formats tried, Compact size = easy travel
    Cons: Sound without headphones is a bit "tinny" but not worth complaining about

    Summary: I bought this DVD player for my children to view in my van. I wanted a screen large enough for them both to enjoy and I didn't want to pay alot for it. The screen looks good no matter what angle you view it from. The sound is a little "tinny" sounding ... read more

  • It's a mixed bag! ==> Not anymore!

    Oct 20 '03
    Pros: Rotating screen, great resolution, very durable
    Cons: None that I can think of.

    Summary: I have purchased this particular unit about a month ago. The features that got me thinking about this unit were rotating screen, multi-zone DVD playing, the size of the screen, to mention a few. Whereas all these features are working quite well, the ... read more

  • Cheap Display - you get what you pay for

    Sep 09 '05
    Pros: Bigger screen
    Cons: LCD display quality like I'm watching VHS instead of DVD quality on this screen.

    Summary: The display can be rotated but only good when you're watching on the left side but when you are on the right side you cannot do that. The quality of the display is very poor. The display is not what you see in other brand -crisp and clear. You can buy

  • NICE surprise, nice product

    Apr 14 '04
    Pros: Price,value,performance,excellent color, love the swivel screen and ability to rotate the screen,great ease of use.
    Cons: Audio good but could be better, battery life ok

    Summary: This unit is underrated for the price/value. Purchased March 04 (from Avalon - stay away from them !!!) We primarily used it in the car for spring break with the family on a long road trip. To date I have played at least 50 DVD's. NEVER 1 problem.

  • Died

    Mar 21 '04
    Pros: While it worked, it was easy to use and had a great picture.
    Cons: It stopped working 3 weeks after we purchased it.

    Summary: I bought the this DVD player because of it's swivel screen, and great picture. It worked well for our first on-road-the-road-trip. However, on our second road trip (3 weeks after we purchased the unit), it just wouldn't come on. The power light was on

  • Does not play some DVD-Rs

    Feb 16 '04
    Pros: Nice screen, easy to use, rotating screen.
    Cons: Can't play some DVD-Rs!

    Summary: I loved this player until I tried to play some of my DVD-R discs from The History Channel. I bought this player primarily for educational purposes - I show a lot of videos in my classes. The player can't play some DVD-Rs successfully - there are skips

  • Good but significant problem

    Jan 03 '04
    Pros: Price and pivoting screen.
    Cons: Significant display problem.

    Summary: Like the other reviewer, I discovered that when a widescreen movie that took up the entire screen was played the top half an inch was bent to the left at about a 45 degree angle. I checked other 8" Polaroid players and the 7" version and they did the

  • Great Little Player - Slight Problem With Top of Screen

    Dec 15 '03
    Pros: Rotating Screen, In-car Adapter Included, Can Configure to Multi-region
    Cons: Slight skewing of Picture on Top in 'full screen' mode. Slight problem with in-car adapter

    Summary: This unit is very good quality and a reasonable price. The rotating screen is it's best feature, which allow you much more flexibility in viewing. Picture quality is good with a decent enough field of vision to allow 2 people to get a good view. Sound

  • Great DVD Player !

    Dec 10 '03
    Pros: Screen, Flexible view, Good Sound
    Cons: None thus far

    Summary: Bright Screen, Adjustable Color, Brightness. Good Stereo sound, remote, large battery, plays my DVD+RW recorded DVD without problems. This can fold on itself like a PC tablet, it has outputs for regular TV, Stereo and DVD Recording. There is a nice

  • Great for the price

    Nov 07 '03
    Pros: Swivel screen is great for viewing even for two. Simple to use.
    Cons: The sound without the headphones in is very low even at the max volume.

    Summary: Nice size, light weight and great swivel screen. The buttons are easy to use and in good location. Stores easily.

  • Decent portable player

    Nov 01 '03
    Pros: - swivel screen with image flip - less expensive than other brands
    Cons: - Flimsy disc door - Needs rubber feet. - Many remote only controls.

    Summary: - This a decent portable player. It does all the stuff the rest of the portable players do: plays dvds, audio cds, mp3 cds, photo discs. I had no problem playing dvds or audio cds although I have yet to try mp3 or photo disc. - Another reveiwer menti
