Audiovox D1710 7-Inch Slim Line Portable DVD Player
Poor quality control
I bought two Audiovox D1710 DVD players- one for each of my daughters for Christmas.  Both arrived defective- one kept shutting itself off after only about 30 minutes of viewing time (this happened whether using the battery or the 110 volt power supply).  The other failed to recognize about half of the DVDs we tried to view- it kept giving us an error message which stated \\"Wrong Disk\\" (these were brand new DVDs- not old or scratched ones).  Additionally both units had poor picture quality and had very distorted \\"pixelated\\" video on some new DVDs.  The troubleshooting section of the manual was useless.  The \\"Customer Service\\" portion of Audiovox's website was even more worthless- there was no troubleshooting information even remotely related to the problems we were having.  The Audiovox Customer Service Phone Number was even less helpful- you cannot talk to a real person, and after a lengthy menu we were instructed to leave our name and number only to hear that \\"the mailbox is full\\"- we never were able to leave any information.  I finally returned both units for a refund and spent a little more to purchase two Sony DVDs.  The Sonys work flawlessly, have beautiful pictures and much better sound. My advice is not to waste your money and your time on the Audiovox D1710- spend the extra money to get something that works well.
