Audiovox does not stand behind this product at all.
I am having the same issue that other consumers have had: picture freezing, scratchy sound, screen goes dead.
Unfortunately, I am seeing a trend for this small DVD player.

After calling customer service and explaining that I bought this thing 6 months ago they responded with "the policy is 3 months" if you would like to get your product fixed, it will cost $96.00.

If you are in the market for something that will work for 3 months and then break - this is your product. However, a company like Audiovox should stand behind the products that they put out in the market place. Shame on Amazon for continuing to support this dirty little company.

Arrived defective -- bad screen. Audio quality also poor, very tinny: the speakers are not nearly as large as they appear. Volume had to be adjusted frequently during a movie, as did brightness. Vertical viewing range was very limited, had to re-tilt the display if I sat back in my chair.

Note that with the battery pack attached, the unit is about twice the thickness of the one in the photograph. Any features beyond stop/pause/play require the remote, and the infared receiver is in an awkward location on the front of the unit. Finally, I don't know if I'd call a cigarette lighter power cord a "car kit."

Overall I wouldn't recommend this unit. It's a shame -- it looked really good in the description.

I bought this player because it was affordable and cheap. The video quality was good for the 14 DVDs I've watched so far the sound quality was okay. When I hooked my playstation up to it there was lines going across the screen. I tried many solutions but none of them worked. But when I hooked a VCR up to it there was no lines probaly could have been the Playstation. The size of the player could have been smaller and the battery pack a be a little less bulkier and heavier. When I took it on a car trip the car adapter worked just fine. Battery has a long life. Overall A pretty good player

I bought this player for airplane/car use for my child four months ago. For the first couple of months it worked just fine. However, in the last month, I have had nothing but problems with it. At this point, it will not successfully load any DVD's; stops playing and shuts off automatically with the error "unknown" disc. My biggest complaint is with Audiovox's customer service policy. Because the 90 day warranty is up, they want another $93.75 just to fix the obviously defective product. And the worst of it is how it comes on the heals of just paying $165.00 only 4 months prior! I would definitely think twice about buying this product.

I don't think I'll buy any more Audiovox products at all. I've now -- at my error -- purchased 2 Audiovox portable DVD players in the last year alone. This one didn't even last 7 months. Now the one I just purchased only 2 months ago is having problems, too (model #D-1420). I'm beginning to now think that Audiovox products in general are just crap. And the warranty is only 90 days.....guess I should have known. Don't buy!
