Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
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.
