We've had no performance issues with ours. Have two boys, 6 & 4, who are the primary users so it's not exactly been handled with care. It still holds up well, loads the discs with no problem. My only complaint would be that for some movies, I'm not able to get the image bright enough to be seen clearly. This thing has saved our sanity on many cross-country trips to visit family. Has done well both in the car and on planes.

Wow! this thing does everything, the LCD is clear and crisp, the sound is awsome, and the thing has absolutly no flaws! The battery charged in less than 3 hours (the manual sais 3-4 hours for full charge) and lasts almost 4 hours (the manual sais 2.5)! After the price i paid, and the quality i got...this was an absolute steal! The bag is not fantastic but it serves its purpose... only fit about 2 boxed DVDs in it... its a little thin in the ways of padding for my taste but i think the player will be safe. For anyone who is looking for a good player that has good quality, this is the one for you...no regrets at all!

I paid extra so that I'd have the car bag for easy installation into our vehicles. I don't want the unit loose in the car, in case of accident. First and only trip with it, except for storage it was never in the bag. That's because of the case set up. When you strap it in as shown and put the DVD unit in, at least in our vehicle, you can't view the screen because it's always tilting down. I tried numerous strapping adjustments, nothing corrected this. I've taken it back to the store and will be buying one that the case and unit sits flush against the seat.

This DVD player worked well for 5 months of intermittent use. Then one night it just locked up and refused to play. Now, when a DVD is put in, the player perpetually is "loading" but it has never again played a DVD. Magnavox's only response was that we could return it for a "reduced product exchange fee" which is 20% more than what we paid for it. Bottom line: DON'T BUY A DVD PLAYER WITH ONLY A 90 DAY WARRANTY, AND NO MATTER WHAT, DON'T BUY A DVD PLAYER FROM MAGNAVOX.

I had been researching portable dvd players because I knew I would be wanting one to keep me occupied on those long trips. I looked at the electronic stores to see the new models and demostrated quite a few. I had almost given up when I went into my local Wal-Mart and found this player on the shelf for a price of 238.00. I brought the player home and for some reason the player I got the battery would not charge. It must of been a defective battery. I returned it and was hesitant about getting the same player but boy am I glad I did. This is a great portable dvd player. The picture is fantastic!! Even the sound is very good but hook up a pair of headphones and the sound is amazing!! Anyone looking for a portable dvd player make sure you take a look at this model and you will not be disappointed!!
