Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Good for what it does and what it costs!
We have had this unit for about two weeks, and have just returned from a car trip to Boston, where our daughter used it in the car (with optional headphones), and we used it every night in our hotel room thru the TV set's RCA jacks.<BR>A fully charged battery lasted through one full DVD in the car, and we used it on AC in the hotel room. While the video on the internal screen isn't spectacular, it is usable, while the video thru the TV was perfectly acceptable. Contrary to other reviewers, you can set &quot;bookmarks&quot; to return to specific scenes, however, the menus are not very &quot;user friendly.&quot; The remote is handy, however, it would have been nice to be able to shut off all power AND be able to control the volume of the TV. <BR>We have not yet tried using the external DC power cord in the car, but I'm sure that it works as specified.<BR>It will probably save us it's price in DVD rentals, or room charges, when we travel!
