Very Good player - fun for kids and you can play all regions

The Audiovox D2017 has a very good price/performance. I bought it for my kids and it is a very good option for car and also hotels/airports. Good Sound/Good Picture/Big Screen. Fantastic for seing your photo pictures using the SD card slot when travelling. The remote is not very good (you can't control the volume) but works fine. For the price, considering the size of the screen, size and weight of this portable DVD player, I consider it a very good option. If you don t live in "region 1" just follow this steps and have your player free for all regions:
1: Switch the DVD player ON
2: Press the SETUP button
3: Select Preference Page (3 times right arrow)
4: Input the number 9653 (type quickly)
5: Press UP arrow (0 means all regions)

Good Value for the Price

The Audiovox D2017 is a good value. We've had it about a month. Good quality picture and easy to use. Have used it plugged in with the included AC adapter and also unplugged running off the battery. Good response either way. The sound is also reasonably good even without headphones (haven't actually tried headphones yet). My only minor complaint is that you can't control the volume using the mini remote control. You have to actually get up and adjust the volume manually as needed. Not a big deal - more of a minor inconvenience. For the price this portable DVD player is a winner.

good experience

works fine nice picture, battery life isn't enough for 2 long movies and it will not recharge from the cigarette lighter adapter included but it will play til your car battery runs down nice setup all around except I think all the others I looked at would charge from lighter adapter I rated it 4 star because of the lighter adapter not charging battery it says it won't not mechanical failure

Great 10" Portable DVD Player

This is a great DVD Player. For those of you who like me have young kids and didn't get the DVD package when buying your mini van, this is a great alternative. I also purchaced the Mo Go holder and when assembled correctly it provides a sturdy holder for this player between the two front headrest. The player also comes with media card slots to veiw slide shows of pictures from your digital camera. We just went away on vacation and held out as long as we could 3 hours in the car, and then put up the DVD player. There was total silence from the kids in back car seats.....
...........Priceless!!!

completely pleased

This was just what I needed....we're using this strictly for long road trips and so I wanted a big screen for the kids. This included a nice case and decent ear phones. For the money, I think this was a great purchase!

CostCo Purchase

I'm just about to head out on a trip with this new purchase. The price was right at $159 for the case, two headphones and remote, but I was somewhat crestfallen to learn you can NOT hang the unit from the back of a car seat with the battery connected to the unit. Dopey design. With my kids in the third row of a rental van, the liklihood that the car power adapter will reach is slim. I hope the rental will have a thrid row cigarette lighter adapter. I guess they'll just have to rest the unit between them on the seat. Picture quality looks really good (other reviewer's comments notwithstanding) and sound on the earphones supplied is fine. Battery life is a bit on the short end (Audivox claims 2.5 hours), but I plan to turn the brightness all the way down and have them use headphones (less power-eating than the speakers). I was toying with the idea of getting the Panasonic LS-82 which has MUCH longer battery life. I might return this one.

do not buy

Cost cutting in many places is evident with this unit. The screen resolution is 800x480 , but not as sharp as other players with high end screen display. The unit does not have a true last scene memory function , but one that is totally useless for resuming a program from where it previously stopped. Why is this done-- cost savings ? Also, the AV input does not work .I would stay away from this player
