Have not tried the DVD player yet, or any other inputs. Works as expected. I have thought of buying a second one, but I would need to buy another Generation 5 iPod Video (anything later, ie. I use it for my kids to watch iPod videos. The picture could be clearer, but that is more a function of the iPod. 80GB iPod Video (Generation 5.5.). will not play video on this unit).
Adults only, and gentle at that. Clearly not worth sending in, so now we have to buy another one.
It worked really great at first: decent enough quality viewing, good compatibility with our old iPod, the DVD tolerated lots of bumps on the road without skipping, etc, etc. However, it is sort of a low-quality build overall.
We purchased this DVD player for the kids to use during the extensive traveling that we tend to do. When calling Audiovox to fix this cheap little lid the cost to fix was quoted at $99 plus one-way shipping.
The hinge on the cheap plastic cover that closes on the DVD itself inevitably snapped off at the hands of our toddlers after just 3 months of use. The DVDs will not play if it senses that the lid is open: we can't figure out how to over-ride it and trick it into thinking it's closed, so it's now use-less.
Lesson learned: overall, this is not a tough and sturdy player for use by children. But if you aren't a rough and frequent traveler, it would have otherwise been great.
Also sometimes the screen gets gray lines through it and I have to turn it off and on until they are gone. We have only had it about 6 months and it is dead. I would like to add to the review i previously wrote, about a month later we are not able to get this DVD player to work at all. I wanted to get one with the ipod dock and this was the least pricey. DO not buy this DVD player.We got this DVD play for my daughter to use in the car. It worked fine for a week or two, but then the battery just quit, so now we have to use it plugged in or it will not turn on. Now I'm wishing we spent more and got a better one. The dvd player over all is flimsy, the picture is good When it's working.
It was a wonderful surprise that we didn't need the speakers at all. We bought this DVD player for a long car trip (over 1000 miles) with the hope it would distract our 2 1/2 year old. I was concerned about volume issues that I had read about in previous reviews, so we took little speakers to attach to it. Even with all the car noise, which is considerable with the air conditioner and the engine noise associated with pulling a travel trailer, it was very easy to hear the videos. Our son loved watching his movies and allowed us to travel with relative quiet and to cover more miles per day.This is a great player it never skipped even on the roughest roads and was easy to use.kristi with 2 under 3 on a 1000 mile car trip.
I bought it because I had an iPod but found it does not work with the 5th generation iPod. This player is a good DVD player for the money. The picture is black and white. We use it on long trips so our daughter can watch movies. I have also used it personally. I was not too concerned about it because I don't rent or buy a lot of movies from iTunes. Because of the problems I had with the iPod I rated the product with 4 stars instead of 5.
