Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Great overall value
I got this machine a month ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It has played every kind of discs I have thrown at it, from VCDs to DVD+R as well DVD+RW! I have burnt ~1000 songs on to a DVD+RW disc and enjoy the variety while playing in random mode. The screen is bright and beautiful and quite large. It is worth every penny I paid for it on AMAZON.<br />I wish there were a button which would turn the lcd off, while still keeping the speakers on, so that I could listen to songs on the in-built speakers without running down the batteries. Of course, most people would rather listen to songs on headphones, so they would just close the lid and get the desired effect. So, it is not a real problem. <br />It also has features for audio/video in/out which can be very useful while viewing recordings from a camcorder or digital camera on a trip. <br />I would strongly recommend it to people who want the most bang for their buck. Yes, the battery could have been incorporated inside the main compartment, that would have been awesome.
