After much effort Audiovox finally agree to replace the DVD player...however it arrived not in the original container (Is it a rebuilt one being passed off as new?) and missing the cord that connects the power converter to the wall as well as the RCA plug cables that connect it to the TV...I have no way of knowing if it works and have asked if they would be so kind as to send cables...The front plate is falling off, but I can live with it that since it appears to be just a cosmetic issue...

Also I don't know why but in the box was the paper work for a return of a MVP 200 package (mobile VCR unit which wouldn't play)...it was installed by Columbus Car Audio for a Ms. Aimee Novak of Westerville Ohio...

Why I have this paperwork, may expalin why my paperwork was missing when I sent mine in...

It appears as if Quality Control is maintaining the standard I have come to expect.

This is a really neat piece of equipment. It plays all sorts of digital disks--DVD, CD, VCD, etc. There is a car adapter and all sorts of cables for connecting to everything but a dishwasher! The screen may be a little small for Lawrence of Arabia or Star Wars, but otherwise it's fine.

I have a lot of fun with this product. The reviews are true regarding the instruction manual, which really is awefull, however, if you're at all knowledgeable about electronic products, you'll have no problem figuring it out. You can hook this up to your TV set as well. A Tip: The hook-up is very simple if you have a "line in" button on your VCR. All you do is plug the audio/video jacks into the back of your VCR and hit your line in button on your VCR to operate (I tried every other way of connecting). The coolest thing about this product is, you can watch it through your TV or just on it's own. The 5" screen is actually plenty big enough to see incredible detail. My favorite way to use this product is while I'm home on the computer, I plug my computer speakers into it and watch a DVD while I'm checking e-mail etc. Also, get plenty of use as a home theatre system because the audio out on this product allows me to hook it up to my surround sound option on my stereo system. Really glad I bought it and for not much more than a non-portable player!

This DVD player ruined the first dvd I played in it. The brand new, just out of the box, dvd of Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs was spotless before play. When it stopped playing part way through, I took it out of the machine and discovered a ring around the playing side, about half-way through. I returned it and the sales rep did not seem surprised nor did he argue with me. Also, the user manual does not have an index and leaves out some of the steps necessary for play. The control buttons did not work well.

When portable CD players came out, we had problems with pausing. The slightest twinge caused mine to pause. I kept mine in the family room when I first tested it and it still paused. I am returning mine because of this and the monitor did not work. If I buy another one I am going to go higher quality and look for one that can take a few bumps.
