5 comments about Lite-On LVW-5115GHC+ DVD Recorder with TV Tuner.

1. i bought this dvd recorder on 121705, and now, it will not write any dvd's i buy.... don't buy it....... it is a waste of money!!!!



2. I have wanted a DVD recorder for a long while now. I bought one about 1-1/2 year ago and was VERY disappointed with it. What I wanted was a recorder that was almost as simple to operate as a VCR. I thought I would give it another try with the Lite-On LVW-5115GHC. I am glad I did!
   
   This DVD recorder has features galore, but is VERY simple to use. So far it has worked FLAWLESSLY. I use a variety of DVD's and DVD-RW's. All have been the + (plus) DVD's (ie DVD+R, DVD+RW) and have had no problems.
   
   All recording modes, except the 6-hour SLP mode, are VERY good. Use the 6-hour mode if you must, but the quality is low, as expected.
   
   The only drawback I see is that there is no RF modulator in the DVD unit. Yes, there is a TV tuner and "pass-through" 75-ohm cable connection, but to see DVD's you must use the composite (RCA connectores, Red, White, Yellow) cable. This means if you don't have composite inputs on your TV, you will have to have an RF modulator. Not a big problem and is easily dismissed when looking at the big picture!
   
   The "big picture" is an inexpensive DVD recorder that works great. Another feature I really LOVE is that this player will play DivX format video. I can just take a disk from the computer and drop it in the player and it looks great!
   
   I am courious on how this unit lasts. I am sure thrilled with it now. I hope it lasts a while. Time will tell.

   UPDATE: I originally bought this in November of 2006. It is now late March 2007 and it is still working great.



3. This is the first negative view I have written. Normally I am very positive and give companies the benefit of the doubt. However, I have very little positive to say about dealing with Lite-on. The original and replacement products were both unreliable. The pleasant voice at customer service said what I wanted to hear, but no action resulted. When they finally sent me a replacement machine it didn't work correctly either. On that replacement box I noticed a sticker that said "Non-saleable. Product defective." It went on to state how it had been returned because it wasn't working. I would NEVER buy one of their products again.



4. I owned 2 Similar Products from GoVideo and they would not respond to any Commands. After a few momths the Drawers would not open. Last year I decided to buy thus product. What a mistake. It would come on all by itself every few hours and eventually also froze the drawer. I saw a low price deal and decied to buy another and contact LiteOn for Support on the first one. The 2nd one turned out to be another piece of trash, also turning on a dozen times a day. LiteOn has not responded to any emails or Phone calls for assistance.
   
   I notized that the LiteOn and GoVideo are Identical in most respects. They have the same exact Face Plates and for all practical purposes are the same. GoVideo also never responded to any requests for assistance.
   
   I since bought a Sony Model and so far no problems with it. My Recomendation. Avoid it like the plague.



5. I have owned this DVD recorder for over a year now and I can say that I am quite pleased with it. It is a great value for the money and records my shows flawlessly on DVD. The user interface is decent and the DivX playback is a definitive plus - also the fact that the region code can easily be disabled, enabling me to play my European DVDs was very positive. I've noticed that quite a few people on here have trouble with their unit - UPGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE (call tech support if you don't know how), it solved every problem I had initially with the unit. For the price the unit is great!

1 comments about Toshiba DVR660 1080p Upconverting VHS DVD Recorder with Built in Tuner.

1. If you read the specifications for this machine it appears to be a dream and it does appear to have all the features specified and some very cool features not well documented. One would expect the latest and greatest to be the most forward looking, with this expectation I was surprised at what I have come to expect as standard features to be missing or retro.
   * Even though DVD+RW is the superior technology, all the "better" recording features are only supported by DVD-RW! For example, 16:9 aspect ratios, scene delete, combine titles, etc. To me this alone warrants the loss of a rating star.
   * The recording of HDTV programs will become a mandatory ability in February of 2009. I recorded several HD programs on DVD+RW media and played them back, at the six hour speed, they were so badly pixilated as to be nearly unwatchable (probably too much up and down converting). When I recorded NTSC (normal until 2/2009) TV the recording were no better nor worse than on machines without ATSC/QAM receivers. This needed to be much better than it is.
   * My last three recorders have all been Panasonic's not by conscious choice or loyalty, but rather more as coincidence and superior ratings, at the time. I expect that when I define a program to record I can name the recording (on the DVD side) so that I know what is on the disk. This is not available on this machine. After you record you can label what you have recorded, this is exactly backwards from my expectations.
   * VCR output is analog ONLY on RCA pin-outs not even via s-video, let alone HDMI! The TV signal continues to play out of the HDMI while the video plays. This has additional ramifications for dubbing or cross-recording below.
   
   Perhaps the single most confusing and frustrating thing about this machine is setting the timer (programmed recording). I have been programming VCRs/DVD recorders for 30+ years and I have been a computer programmer for the bulk of this time too, so I am not easily confused by setting up a recorder and scheduling a program for recording. Besides the retro programming features above you will very likely lose or fail in your initial scheduled recording efforts. You will see an E40 error reported for the failure, unhelpfully meaning overlapping recording or recording did not start on time. What has happened is you did not press the "timer set" button, unobviously located in the middle of the last row of the remote! If you press the "red on/off button", on the remote, no recordings will be made (thus making it nearly impossible to use a universal remote on this machine as the "timer set" will probably not be defined). The unit MUST be TURNED OFF using the "timer set" button or NOTHING will be RECORDED!!! This has been so confusing I redundantly record on another device to insure I get the program. This warrants at minimum the loss of at least one rating star perhaps two. A recorder should never let you miss a recording (when properly programmed) except for a very good reason, e.g. disk full or overlapping programs. This one lets you miss all of them for silly illogical reasons.
   
   Suppose you record "The Soup" every Friday on E!, but in between you wish to watch an episode of HBO's Rome on a DVD. Well if you press the power button (red on/off button) you will not be able to access the DVD player. It is locked for recording on Friday. The only way to access it is to press the ... you guessed it, the "timer set" button. Of course doing that kills all the programmed recordings, so you better remember to press it again or you will lose the ability to record all future programmed recordings (i.e. miss The Soup until you press the "timer set" button)! Pressing the more obvious red on/off button is not going to fix it, but only yield an e40 error.
   
   I expect that the latest machines would have superior image processing. Sadly it is no better than a $50 Sam's Club special, when I visually compare the two on the same "passage" of a program. Obviously without an S-video out for any video tapes, a player with S-video will look better.
   
   My primary purpose in purchasing this machine was to cross copy/dub family videos. Recording at various speeds does seem to be clean and as good as can be expected. I was very concerned that there is no way adjust the tracking on video tapes however this seems to be pretty smart and appears to be constantly adjusting for the best setting. It has worked on all the videos I have tested so far. However if you have the DVD on an HDMI or S-video connection you will need to switch back and forth between two outputs on your TV to see and cue your video then switch to the other side to set up and start the dubbing process! There is, of course, the usual problem of playing DVD+/-RW on a PC the only reliable player I have found for this problem is VLC media player portable, a freeware player.
   
   A cool feature is the ability to watch what you are recording with DVD-RW, and have it keep track of where you are.
   
   In short this looks like it might be a pretty good dubbing/cross recording video machine but as a general purpose family room player I think there are cheaper and better choices on the market today.

5 comments about Panasonic DMR-ES15S DVD Recorder with DV Input.

1. After transferring 600 VCR tapes to DVDs this machine can't wait for more work. The copies it produces are fantastic, 4 and 6 hour speeds will surprise you in a very good way. The ease of use is very friendly,and it doesn't matter what format you are playing back on this unit, it embraces them all happily.I bought another ES15S so as to have in reserve and to double up on copies of years of family made VHS tapes to share. It remains cool, a bit slow to open it's dvd drawer, but I will gladly wait another 10 seconds for what this machine does for my collection and playing bought or rented new DVD movies. Using component connections to my HD tv inproves the clarity and resolution at least 40% more, so playback is in the same league as recording. I have VCRs that are 24 years old made by Panasonic, with years of proper care and cleaning, they are feeding in HiFi to the ES15s which is proving again,Pansonics are made like tanks and the technology which goes into their products like the ES15s are in the same class and innovative progression as any high end elctronic manufacturers. Buy this machine,buy 2, it is a winner. Mike Kasten, Los Lunas New Mexico.



2. Panasonic DMR-ES15 has great features. But if the unit stops working
   after just a few months of use, then what good is that ? And I bought
   this unit brand new.
   
   If you're thinking of buying a Panasonic DVD recorder, do yourself a favor and search the internet for this "U61" error on Panasonic
   DVD recorders so you can get an idea of just how many people have
   experienced this problem. It appears it's only a matter of WHEN the
   DVD recorder will fail, not IF.
   
   I researched this unit, but having owned other Panasonic products
   in the past, I foolishly focused on it's features.



3. After the first problem (error U66 and U88) I have with this DVD it didn't recorder again on the same DVD-/+RW I had to use a new DVD-/+RW every time.
   Now I can't use the DVD anymore I get the error U61 over and over and the technical support told me to send the DVD for an evaluation which costs $52.50 1/3 of what I paid on it. Besides I have to send it to Illinois and I'm in Austin. That's just ridiculous!!!
   If you have it already good luck!!! If you don't have it don't waste your money!!!



4. OK, this probably will not save many people at this point since this unit has been surpassed by newer models. I am now frightened to even consider a Panasonic DVD Recorder. I purchased this unit and let it sit unopened for about six months due to other priorities in my life....major mistake. I started using it in October of last year (2007). It performed reasonably well I thought - a couple of minor issues but functionally it did what we wanted, which was to emulate our old VCR that we had disposed of (another Panasonic product BTW that lasted 10 years with no issues). In May of 2008 my wife indicate a code has come up on the display. I tried resetting the power and when that didn't work I did a Google of U61 and Panasonic DVD Recorder - I advise you to do the same. The issue is rampant across several Panasonic models. Also there is a U99 error that seems prevalent on certain units as well. Cost to buy this unit for me was about $120 plus shipping on sale. Cost to fix? Way over $200....what to do? Well, I guess the VCR is an option but it is ridiculous that a unit only lasted about 8 months and probably only made 40 recordings during that entire time. Bottom line is that I will be looking for a different manufacturer to replace this unit and I am terribly disappointed that Panasonic did not either recall or warranty this particular problem or at least offer an acceptable repair rate for something that is obviously flawed.



5. DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT! I had one to quit working after a week, one to quit after 3 weeks and one to quit after 5 months. This model is not made to last. Each time it made the same sound and after that it would not read a disc.

5 comments about Toshiba D-R550 1080p Upconverting Div-X Certified DVD Recorder with Built In Tuner.

1. I was in the market for a DVD recorder to replace my Magnavox which was killed by lightning. My old recorder was one year old and in that year I have come to realize several things:
   1. If you look at the reviews; it seems all units, all manufacturer's have their problem.
   2. The main problem is the consumer's buying and writing the unfavorable reviews. These units are not as simple as operating a VCR. This is new technology and it requires that you read the manual or at least the quick start guide.
   3. DVD recorders are basically computers focused against a single task. As such, things happen. the computing world is not perfect. Out of 100 discs recorded, I had a problem with 1 and it could have been the media or my own error.
   4. There seems to be only a few companies manufacturing DVD recorders and they brand them differently. The file menu and choices for this unit are very similar to the Magnavox. Plus this unit will finalize my old discs for play on any DVD player.
   
   With that in mind, let's talk about the Toshiba D-R550. It performs as advertised, it records DVD's and also plays multiple formats including Divx.
   
   The menu is easy to understand and timer record is what you expect until you reach the quality setting. Should you record on the highest setting? Dunno, disc's are cheap and I encourage you to try all but the poorest setting. For me, the 6 hour option works well for cable TV recording. After all, this is not a HD recorder and if it were the only true HD to be recorded is over the air. Cable HD is not true HD. Recording HD movies is not possible so my question is why would you record a the highest setting? Oh yeah, discs are cheap and organization may be easier.
   
   Overall, I am very satisfied with this recorder especially when you consider the price.
   
   Don't forget to finalize your disc if you plan on viewing it on a normal DVD player.



2. This DVD is just perfect for my 1080p projector. Its digital TV tuner is amazing. I still have not had time to try out the recording capabilities. But so far I am completely satisfied with my purchase.



3. Works like a charm. Even records show from my DVR which were from premium channels. Can't figure out how to get rid of the band on the top and bottom of the screen. Haven't used it enough. Would definitely recommend.



4. This was my second DVD Recorder and its leagues better than the Magnavox one I owned previously. I've had it for a month now and have had no issues at all. It records wonderfully and I've had zero issues with playback.



5. Seems to be a good dvd recorder at a resonable price. I had some trouble setting it up at first, but by going over the manual several times I got it working right. The only thing is I wish you could watch one program and record another, I don't think you can with this one.I'm satisfied with the purchase. Paul

5 comments about Sony BDP-S301 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player BD/DVD/CD Playback with Bonus HDMI Cable.

1. This player has great technical performance however ,for me, it processes and downloads blue ray discs too slowly.It's a good adjunct to the Sony Bravia t.v.it's just that i'm impatiant.My fault,not thr players!



2. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what agenda SONY and DISNEY have in mind with their proprietary Blu-Ray technology.
   
   After purchasing this player, I learned that there is NO hardware control over the oeprations of this player (or any of the SONY Blu-Ray players).
   
   Every button on it is COMPLETELY controlled by the operating system. There are some buttons to imitate DVD players, however, they are soft wired to the operating system. You must wait for the operating system to boot up before you have any control over the unit. Any control that you might ultimately have is completely dependent on SONY's firmware and software updates for the unit.
   
   SONY, therefore, has complete control over what you watch on this player, how you watch it, and, ultimately, how much you pay for what you want to watch.
   
   Sony's intentions with this "Blu-Ray" technology is clear to me. Blu-Ray technology is designed to accomplish two things, and, only two things;
   
   First, Blu-Ray technology is designed to give SONY (and DISNEY (Sony's principal trading partner in Blu-Ray) (together they control over 80% of the world's film copyrights)) absolute software control over anything and everything you view on Blu-Ray discs, how you view them, and, how much you pay for what you view.
   
   Second, with absolute software control over the discs you watch on Blu-Ray devices, in Blu-Ray format, and SONY's tremendous market share of film copyrights, SONY can ultimately control all of your disc entertainment in your home, and, increase its charges for viewing discs - at will. They simply do this by requiring you to update the firmware for the OS in the unit whenever they please, and, place the new limitations on your viewing "privileges" in the updated firmware.
   
   On the required updates, they can change all of the viewing privileges for your discs WHENEVER THEY WANT, AS MUCH AS THEY WANT, UNDER WHATEVER CONDITIONS and PRICING THEY WANT.
   
   I invite you to think about this for a minute. That means that SONY can program into their software and firmware an expiration date on the playability of your Blu-Ray discs (and anything else in Blu-Ray format).
   
   Although they are not doing it now, history shows that there is nothing to stop them from allowing discs you purchase to only play on their Blu-Ray devices for a limited period of time (from one showing to any number of showings). "History repeats itself . . . That's one of the things wrong with history." - Clarence Darrow
   
   Abosolute power corrupts absolutely. One would have to be very naive to think that SONY and DISNEY aren't going to use this technology to maximize their profits at the expense of consumers. With this player and Blu-Ray technology, you no longer have any "Rights" when you buy a disc, you have only "privileges" which are limited at Sony's whim.
   
   I have had this player for several months. Last night I had to use a stone chisel and a machine hammer to get a NETFLIX Blu-Ray disc out of it. $400 down the drain. I plan to sue Sony in small claims court for false advertising. This isn't a DVD player, it is a proprietary SONY controlled device for viewing THEIR proprietary discs under their variable terms.
   
   They changed their Blu-Ray format so that any Blu-Ray disc manufactured after about April of 2008 ("Patton" for instance) will not play on this player without THEIR modifications to the unit's software and firmware. I don't want to have to spend my valuable time updating a machine I purchased. I didn't realize what was going on until last night. Last night, because I didn't update the firmware, the unit "ate" the Blu-Ray DVD of "Patton" that I had acquired from Netflix.
   
   It attempted to load it, but, after several hours of "loading" appearing on my high resolution screen (in spectacular 1080i) I had to give up. I tried re-booting 7 or 8 times. The new (non-conforming disc) just sent the OS into an infinite "loading" loop. Without hardware to override the defective OS, the machine became absolutely useless.
   
   Without any hardware control to override the OS in cases of mistake, something as simple as wanting to terminate the loading process and retrieve the disc from the tray is impossible. To be able to send the disc back to NETFLIX I had to use tools to get the tray open to remove the DVD (ultimately destroying the unit).
   
   There is no question that the upscaling to 1080i is worth the time, effort and money.
   
   The increased definition (whether from Blu-Ray discs or upscalilng old DVDs) provides at least double the resolution of old players. It is like watching your DVDs all over again for the first time. So much more of the background details in the film appear at these high resolutions it is much more enjoyable.
   
   This machine was not designed with the consumer in mind. It was designed to accomodate a cheap operating system with little responsiveness to the user. It is also designed to give SONY a dominant share in high resolution DVDs. SONY will dominate with absolute control (through copyrights and licensing agreements) ANYTHING that uses Blu-Ray format.
   
   I regret spending the money on this machine. I should have just bought a Sony upscaling DVD player (about $80.00) and blown off the Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray doesn't offer a lot more than simple upscaling in the way of features and definition.
   
   A sony upscaling DVD player is manufactured with hard-wired eject and play buttons, has a simple remote operation schemata, offers superior picture and sound (via HDMI) (cable included) and you are purchasing your expected DVD "rights" instead of Sony and Disney's DVD Blu-Ray "privileges."
   
   Sony DVP-NS601HP 1080p Upscaling DVD Player with Bonus HDMI Cable, Black
   
   The down side of having to purchase SONY's "privileges" instead of "rights" when shelling out $30+ for a Blu-Ray removes Blu-Ray from all of my entertainment. I instructed NETFLIX not to ship me anything more in Blu-Ray format and will NEVER purchase anything involving Blu-Ray again.



3. I have been a dedicated Sony customer, purchasing Sony products for most of my AV requirements. As a rule Sony products are very good performers for the price paid.
   I recently purchased the Sony BDP-S300 Blu-Ray player, along with a Toshiba HD-DVD player (HD-A30).
   When the Sony works, it's night and day between Blu-Ray and watching DVD's on our old DVD player. We have a very respectable sound system which pushes the audio through the full compliment of all the Klipsch Synergy III, -3 series speakers. It would be nice if we could hear the true audio that is encoded on the Blu-Ray. Strange that Sony has the concept but makes players that don't support it.
   And to make matters worse, this 4 month old player began to sporadically freeze up after watching about 1 hour of select, various movies. As of this time, I'm unaware how to unfreeze it other than to turn the player off, then back on, then find where we left off, and hope it begins to play without additional issues. That timespan is usually around 7-10 minuutes, waiting for shutdown, power up, loading the DVD and finding where we were. By then, one has almost lost interest in watching the movie altogether.
   In researching the web, many have the same issue, no one has the solution other that what we are already doing.
   But this problem isn't unique to just the Sony Blu-Ray. Our Toshiba HD-DVD player does the same thing, fixed by the same process.
   Some DVD's play all the way through, most don't. We have returned and replaced a number of HD-DVD's only to get replacements that reproduce the same problem.
   I'm almost thinking that the commercial Blu-Ray and HD DVD's are dual layer, as both units freeze (when they freeze) at about the 1 hour timeframe. It almost appears than when they try to begin reading the second layer, they lock up making that transition. When you stop, reboot and reload, you usually go past the layer shift, thus playing the second layer all the way through, along with missing segments of the movie.
   I have contacted both manufacturers concerning this, neither have responded.
   I never had much experience with Toshiba products, and based on the lack of their customer support (even though it's a discontinued product, it should still be supported under their warranty), it is doubtful that I will ever look to them for consideration of purchasing any of their other products. As far as Sony is concerned, I am genuinely surprised at their lack of support to a problem which is obviously becoming more and more prevalent on a product line that is becoming more and more popular.



4. Possibly the crappiest Sony product I've ever owned! The picture quality is indeed amazing, but the drawbacks to this first generation BD player is that it sucks. I remember purchasing a cheap Akai DVD player in 1999 and thinking "Damn, the latency from pressing the button to actually having something happen on the player is terrible!" I can say the same for this second-rate product with a first-class name. Every now and then the player will freeze. I've watched a great deal of BDs on here, courtesy of Netflix. It worked fine for awhile, but then for some reason the BD movies started freezing and I thought it was the discs. Turns out it was the player. Long story short: It's not worth the money yet. Wait to get it second hand if you really need a BD player, or wait until better, newer players come out!



5. I'll have to say that I've seldom read such a load of baloney as is present in the "J. Preston" rambling, paranoid conspiracy theory review.
   
   My comment is not about this player specifically, but blu-ray players are a significant upgrade to the viewing and listening experience, not a conspiracy by Sony to control your life. ROFL
   
   There was once such a plan, the infamouse DIVX concocted by an LA law firm in combination with Circuit City and a couple of hardware producers, and it fell entirely flat on its face.
   
   The only disadvantage to Blu-ray is that it is still in the early adopter pricing levels, both for players and content. Now that the tug of war with HD-DVD is over, it will be the dominant viewing platform before very long at all .... and you won't have to worry about Sony controlling your life, brain washing you, demanding your first born child, or kidnapping you for secret medical experiments.

5 comments about Sony SLVD370P DVD/VCR Progressive Scan Combo Player.

1. I received the wrong item. I contacted the seller and returned the item and received a credit on my credit card. I received polite and courtesy service on the return or the product that was sent to me.



2. I read only the first few reviews and they were all great and now that I have the unit, the VCR plays only audio--no video--the DVD plays fine.
   
   I am waiting to hear from the seller as to whether I can return this player.



3. I needed a minimal unit to play old VHS and DVDs. We have a sophisticated HDD/DVD-recorder Tivo-like device which plays DVDs, its slow to boot, and
   too complicated for everyone else in my family to use as a DVD player.
   Our old Sony VCR died from old age. We have a Sony DVD player on another TV set.
   This unit is not as good as either of the stand-alone units.
   What I find most annoying is how slow it is. I'm not talking rewind etc., I'm just talking how long it takes to boot up. It takes 20 seconds to start up.
   
   I find the remote to be a pain to use. I constantly hit the wrong buttons.
   I wish I had bought some other VHS/DVD unit.



4. Pros:
   
   -Excellent machine but did not last. (My last SONY from 2000 lasted till beginning of 2006.)
   -VHS has super fast rewind and playback. It'll last a long time.
   
   Cons:
   -DVD player is not meant to play a lot of DVDs. The VHS side could last for 100 years.
   
   Not worth the $150 I paid for it. If used, DON'T BUY IT SINCE THEY ARE SELLING PROBABLY BECAUSE THE DVD PLAYER IS GOING. When the DVD player goes, it starts to say, "No disc" a lot then stops entirely.



5. Alectrics, Inc. was the supplier. The product and service was "As Advertised". I bought a combo VCR/DVD player. It works great. Delivery was prompt. No problems! I would definitely buy from this vendor again.

5 comments about Audiovox D1917 9-Inch Portable DVD Player.

1. If all you need is a DVD player, this system is great. The picture quality is nice, the price is low, the design is sleek and the case seems really useful.
   
   But that's the problem. The case will only hold the machine securely (or close at all) if the battery is removed. So, if you want to watch in the car and strap the nice case to the seat in front of the kids, the machine has to be plugged in! Doesn't seem very portable. If your children are done watching it by battery and you are ready to put it away, you have to dissemble it to get the case to close. Not really acceptable for me.
   
   Also, we have, in the past, hooked the Nintendo up to our portable DVD players. This does have an AV In, but I couldn't get it working. I admit, it may be my cord, but it worked in my last machine. I will likely return this machine and try a different brand.



2. I have done months worth of research on portable DVD players, and finally I decided that Audiovox had the least amount of problems associated with it not reading discs, or the screen breaking etc. So i went to Costco, and bought 2 of these, for $129.99 each. One is for my parents, and one for me. I've opened mine, and it works very well.
   
   My favorite feature is the USB port. We record a lot of TV that gets stored as MPEGS on our computers, so this way, i can just throw a show on my memory stick, plug it into the DVD player, and voila! I can watch a show in the kitchen while cooking, in the bathroom while taking a nice hot bath, or anywhere else!
   
   The speaker volume goes very high, and if you don't need to see what's going on, you can watch from across the room!
   
   I did notice that the response time does depend on what format you are using. If I'm using the USB stick, things take a while, and if you push buttons too fast, it will freeze. No problem, turn it off then back on, and start again. DVDs work pretty quickly, and the remote works well. (Remote uses an everyday watch battery, so easy to replace). CDs take a while to load, and sound like something is breaking inside until the music starts. Then it quiets down. if you have CDs or memory sticks with MP3s in it, don't put them in different folders. The player gets confused if they're not in the main directory.
   
   So far I haven't found anything majorly wrong yet. I'll find out how the SD memory card slot works when my parents open theirs. I'll update with anything else I find!
   
   Audiovox only gives a 90 day warrantee on this, and Costco's return policy is the same. If you buy it on Amazon or Walmart, and I'm sure Target and other stores, you can buy 3 year replacement warrantees, but they're a little more expensive and you have to pay shipping. The warrantee is worth it though! Most of these units, no matter who makes them, will not make it to 3 years.



3. We just bought this (from Costco) and so far so good. The picture is great and the sound is good as well. I liked that it had two headphone jacks.
   
   It has straps to mount it to the headrest of your car, but they don't work with the battery in. That is my one and only complaint. Not a deal breaker for me, but may be for some. We just plug it in to the car and it works but I'd prefer to not have to plug it in.



4. I too just purchased this from [...]. I really like the fact that it comes with a carrying case, 2 sets of headsets, and the car adapter, rechargable battery and home adapter, and connector pieces. So far so good. It was really easy to "set" up the first time. Simple plain instructions and a trouble shooting section. We bought it for a car trip to tahoe. We are planning on using it as much as possible during the next 90 days to make sure we like it and it works for us before the warrenty runs out. The carrying case converts to the "straps" to hold the dvd player to the headrest. I like that and i don't. When you have it hooked up to your headrest there is no where to store the other pieces. (headphones / adapters / battery etc). As far as the other comments go about hooking it up to the battery or unhooking it, that seems silly to me. It's just one quick step to pull out the battery and store it, and really i would prefer to have the dvd player hooked up to my car so that i would never have to worry about the dvd player battery running dead on a car trip. save the battery for when you really need it. I don't know, that's just my opinion. Like i said, so far so good. Nice picture, nice sound, good sound w/ headphones. Haven't tried anything else but the dvd aspect of it yet.



5. I wanted a portable DVd player for my flight to Jamaica and after MONTHS of research I finally settled on this one because I got tired of RESEARCHING. I was able to watch 2 1/2 movies on the LONG 5 hr flight. I don't know if I could've watched a full 3 movies on the battery because I fell asleep and my husband turned the player off right before we landed.
   
   We did utilize the AC adapter that came with the player to watch movies indoors without using the battery and it worked fine. Nice picture and sound quality.
   
   This player served it's purpose and so far, I'm glad that I made the purchase.
   
   Oh yeah, mine didn't come with a carrying case or 2 sets of headsets. Was I cheated??

1. I did a lot of research trying to find the best and biggest player for the best price. This player has a great picture, great sound and is a steal for the price. Now I know a lot of people want a contrast button, which this does not have. But you can go into the menu and adjust the brightness and contrast there, so it's not even an issue. The swivel screen was not something I was looking for, but it is a great feature. Overall, this is a great player at a great price!
