I recieved this DVD player as a gift for Christmas from my wife. I used it 5 times- done - screen says no disk with DVD in machine. My wife got the ex-warranty through Amazon.com . NO GOOD UNTIL 1 YEAR AFTER DATE OF DELIVERY> THEY HAVE AUDIOVOX as HAVING A 1 YEAR WARRANTY -- AUDIOVOX HAS A 90 day WARRANTY on this DVD. I ASKED for Help ..... NO response. I was told to wait until DEC. 2006 and then reply.. I suppose I'll recieve the same at that time to--- NO RESPONSE -- BOTTOM LINE DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF *%**^%^&&^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this dvd player and used a couple times and put it away for a while about 3 month's later I took it out charged it and put in a brand new disc it didnt do anything tried about 6 diffrent times with 6 diffrent disc's still nothing...
Dont buy it trust me

I bought this for my 2 yr old for a car trip from VA to WI and it worked great on the trip. Once in WI however it started to freeze up every once in a while. Either the screen would just go dark and I had to turn it off and back on to get it to do anything, or would say it was loading the disc and just not do anything else after that. Like it didn't recognize the disc even though I played the disc in 3 other players so I know the disc worked. That wasn't the worst.
The worst is the company's warranty and customor service. One month after buying this I tried opening the lid and I couldn't get it to open. In the process of trying to figure out what was wrong, why the lid wouldn't open, one of the hinges broke. Then I realized that one of the small metal spring pins had come out from under the lid and was preventing me from opening it. I called the 800 number to find out what I could do, since the player won't work without the lid closed and they said I could pay to send the unit in and pay the flat fee of around $100 dollars to have it fixed. That is half of what I paid for the whole package...not worth it. The hinge being broken is considered "cosmetic" and not covered under warranty even though the player won't work now unless I rig it like tape down the button that indicates the lid is closed. Something like that should be covered under warranty, I've only owned the thing for one month! I would take it back to the store I bought it at except the store in VA and I'm in WI for a couple months. I guess I'm glad I found this out about the company; they lost my business.
I would have only given this one star because of the company but the player actually worked quite nice for the month that it did work.

Bought it for the kids to use while traveling Thanksgiving weekend. The car kit with case is convenient and packs well, and was no big deal to carry through airports. The remote and unit controls are well laid out and easy to use. The picture quality when watching animated features was more than adequate. DVDs loaded quickly. The battery did not run out over a bit less than 2 hours of use. The included folding headphones are cheesy, but provoked no complaints. There are not 2 audio jacks built into the unit - an adapter is included instead, and functioned without any problems. We also used the included a/v cables to connect the unit to a television, and it functioned great as a DVD player.

Bought this item specifically for taking on trips. We opened the item, upon receipt, and turned it on to make sure it worked. It seemed to play fine so I put it away until we would take our trip. A friend bought one and said it locked up on her within the 1st 10 minutes of play. So, I took my player out and proceeded to play a DVD at length. The player locked up within 30 minutes of play. Unfortunately, today is the 30th day I have had the item in my possession. No full returns after 30 days. Frantically, I called customer service to get in within the 30 day limit and was told that a supervisor would have to call me back within 24 hours because the purchase was over a certain amount. I've never had a bad experience with amazon and I'm hoping this isn't the 1st.

Would not recommend this player. Spend the extra $100 or so to get one that is more reliable.
