I have done months worth of research on portable DVD players, and finally I decided that Audiovox had the least amount of problems associated with it not reading discs, or the screen breaking etc. So i went to Costco, and bought 2 of these, for $129.99 each. One is for my parents, and one for me. I've opened mine, and it works very well.

My favorite feature is the USB port. We record a lot of TV that gets stored as MPEGS on our computers, so this way, i can just throw a show on my memory stick, plug it into the DVD player, and voila! I can watch a show in the kitchen while cooking, in the bathroom while taking a nice hot bath, or anywhere else!

The speaker volume goes very high, and if you don't need to see what's going on, you can watch from across the room!

I did notice that the response time does depend on what format you are using. If I'm using the USB stick, things take a while, and if you push buttons too fast, it will freeze. No problem,... Read more

I too just purchased this from [...]. I really like the fact that it comes with a carrying case, 2 sets of headsets, and the car adapter, rechargable battery and home adapter, and connector pieces. So far so good. It was really easy to "set" up the first time. Simple plain instructions and a trouble shooting section. We bought it for a car trip to tahoe. We are planning on using it as much as possible during the next 90 days to make sure we like it and it works for us before the warrenty runs out. The carrying case converts to the "straps" to hold the dvd player to the headrest. I like that and i don't. When you have it hooked up to your headrest there is no where to store the other pieces. (headphones / adapters / battery etc). As far as the other comments go about hooking it up to the battery or unhooking it, that seems silly to me. It's just one quick step to pull out the battery and store it, and really i would prefer to have the dvd player hooked up to my car so that i would... Read more

I wanted a portable DVd player for my flight to Jamaica and after MONTHS of research I finally settled on this one because I got tired of RESEARCHING. I was able to watch 2 1/2 movies on the LONG 5 hr flight. I don't know if I could've watched a full 3 movies on the battery because I fell asleep and my husband turned the player off right before we landed.

We did utilize the AC adapter that came with the player to watch movies indoors without using the battery and it worked fine. Nice picture and sound quality.

This player served it's purpose and so far, I'm glad that I made the purchase.

Oh yeah, mine didn't come with a carrying case or 2 sets of headsets. Was I cheated??
