CyberHome CH-LDV 712 7-Inch Portable Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Silver
Awesome product....so far!
I thought about this one long and hard after reading all the reviews.  I specifically wanted a player for my 8 and 14 year olds for car trips.<BR>     I decided to buy it locally, in case I did have problems.  I went to Frys and found it cheaper ($220) than their web site price. Brought it home, charged up the battery made sure it worked.  It played dvds, VCD, SVCD, and played my backup DVD X-Copy movies recorded on DVD-R.  Good enough for me, and at that price, I went back and bought another one.<br />     I don't know how long these will last, but my 8 year old loves his so far.  He even plays his PS2 games on it.  I have a power inverter for the car, so he will be able to stay busy with PS2 on long trips.<BR>     Also, the sound is awesome when you use better earphones.  I didn't give it 5 stars because of one minor inconvenience.  The manual recommends you remove the battery when you hook up to an AC source, or when you charge.  A minor annoyance for me, and even more difficult for youngsters.<BR>     Based on the reviews though, I am keeping my receipts handy.  Also noticed that the other portable dvds, had their fair share of negative reviews.
