Samsung DVD-L70 7-Inch Portable DVD Player
Not so great in the Car
I was really impressed when I bought this portable dvd player.  I actually have the DVD-L75 model which has a 4 hour battery life, but is probably the same other than that.  The sound is so much better than I thought it would be.  It is crisp and clear and much louder than others claim it to be.  It has surround sound which is great.  The picture is also very good.  The only complaint that I have is that when I played this in the car for my son when we took a long road trip, the picture kept going out and I had to keep powering it off and then on again to start the dvd all over again.  I couldn't believe it!  This happed constantly and it just got too frustrating to use.  I had really wanted to entertain my son and it was such a let down.  We didn't even have to hit a big bump for it to go out.  It would just go out if we were just driving normally and met an ounce of resistance or less!   I loved this dvd player up until that point.  I see another reader mentioned this same problem.  I'm going to see about returning it.  I like it enough to try another one.  Maybe it was a fluke.  If it happens with the second one, I'll have to switch models.  I did a bunch of research for weeks and decided on this one, so I'm really disappointed.  It plays great in the house, but what's the point in having it if you can't play it in the car too?  This alone will cause this model to lose two stars.
