this is my first portable dvd player. for months i did an online search looking for the best buy for my money. i read several reviews regarding
portable players, and noted complaints about small screens, bad audio, not the sharpest picture, etc, so i was not even sure i wanted to buy one of these type units....however i came across the axion, studied the wonderful reviews and decided to buy it....

WHAT AN AWESOME MACHINE THE AXION IS.....

i am quite comfortable watching the 7" screen, the picture is clear and sharp, the audio is more than adequate without earphones, keeping in mind that i do not use it on an airplane, have not used the remote yet, but the controls on the unit are very easy to use.

the battery last two hours, most times i use it plugged into a wall outlet anyway. right now i am on vacation with no regular dvd player available, last evening i was able to hook up this axion to the tv and watch the dvds on a larger screen, but keep in mind that to do this you also need an extra cable (the one with the prongs that hook up into the 3 different colors on the TV, dont know what it is called) this cable is not supplied by axion, so have one available to hook up to the tv, the other end (prongs) are hooked up to "the cable axion does supply".

i have had this unit for a month now, so at this time i cannot attest to longevity of the unit, i will post again at a later date, but i can tell you at this point in time the axion was well worth the money.

UPDATE: have had this machine going on two years, with moderate use, still going strong ( i hope i dont jinx it ), seems item is being discontinued, i did find where Target was still selling it and we bought a second machine last month....if you can still find it, its worth buying it.

I've had really bad luck with portable DVD players. I had two Toshibas which were chock full of features, but both of them ended up malfunctioning after about a year. I decided to save a little money and go with this Axion one, since it got decent reviews. And I am happy with it! It is very basic, but it's quiet & runs nicely. It even comes with a remote. The sound quality is excellent, and though the video resolution isn't spectacular (text is a little hard to read), for the money, it's a great treat to be able to watch a DVD without having to reset the laser every half hour. I look forward to many happy hours of DVDs.

I had already gotten a portable DVD player but after I saw this one I took it back. For a cheaper price I got this one. The screen is larger and the battery life is longer. My husband and son LOVE it. We haven't experienced any problems with it. Great Buy!

Excellent dvd player...especially for the price! I won this in the Customers Vote Promotion for $25 bucks! I love it! Works smoothly and pefectly just as it was supposed to. I would definitely buy again (even at the regular price!).

We bought this as "insurance" in case our son got antsy traveling by plane (which we do a couple times per year). The price was right and we have had zero issues with this DVD player. It has a headphone jack which is great on the plane. The picture and sound are very good. I would definitely recommend this economical option.
