Good for the price

(4 out of 5) by S. Garlapati on Jan 4, 2005 (Virginia USA)
I did lot of research in these protable dvd players and found that this Magnavox DVD Player suites my needs. Screen Quality : GOOD, SOUND : GOOD, Formats : All Most all formats with region free (plays PAL and NTSC) DVD, VCD, MP3, Audio CD etc, Battery Life: OK (But Remember you need to hook-up an external battery which increases your over all size which is not shown in any pictures).

This unit makes a little bit of noise when reading the disk (not all times, I guess when its initially loading and when its unable to read a sector on the disk).

Over all its a good DVD Player, good screen quality compared to most others.

Great little player!

(5 out of 5) by Mrs. Sarge on Feb 9, 2006 (Montana)
I purchased this DVD player at our local Wal-Mart as a Christmas gift (2004) for my husband who was being deployed to Iraq. He used this player every single day while he was gone and did not have any problems. We have continued to use it since he has been home now and still do not have any problems. In fact, I am here to purchase the car adapter for a trip we will be taking!

This is the one

(5 out of 5) by Film Freak on Dec 12, 2004 (Hampton, Virginia United States)
I bought this Magnavox about six months ago, after lusting for a portable dvd player for two years, and after trying a Cyberhome which failed half the time. The M'vox has been in almost constant use, including recently by a 3-year old hooked on Dora the Explorer, and is extremely reliable and strong. Mine goes for over 3 hours on the battery. I have no complaints, only praise. It's everything I hoped it would be. What a great toy for a movie junkie.

Another Broken Player

(2 out of 5) by emtcoop46 on Feb 9, 2006 (OHIO)
Like many of the other reviews on this page the DVD player broke after about a months use. You can hear the sound but the screen doesn't work.
Sounds like a defective product to me.

Mine died after less than 20 hours use!

(1 out of 5) by Scott Deans on Apr 11, 2005 (Redmond, WA United States)
I'm at this page now, looking for the warranty and return policy for this piece of junk. While I love the player itself, I hate that it died on me after less than 20 hours of use (over a 3 1/2 month window!).

It's also a shame that you can't do any seeking without the remote control. I found that rather lacking and very annoying when I wanted to rewind a scene a few seconds. Where's that remote again?

My advice is to buy a unit with better reliability!
