Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
A mixed bag of review please read mine
I have owned my initial portable for about six months now. I have had nothign but good luck with it for the most part, a few little things but nothing big. When you buy this, your taking a risk as you can see from all the reviews. I think some are made well and some aren't so be sure to buy the extended warranty. (circuit city 40.00) Best Buy 80.00 these are the prices for 4 years warranties. I got mine at circuit city of course. I payed 130.00 for it (cheap) and here are the positives and negatives of it. <br /> <br />Positives <br />1. Nice layout of buttons and controls <br />2. Cute remote that has all the options <br />3. Great picture Quality <br />4. Comes with car charger and to hook it up to your home dvd player <br />5. Battery life seems to be about 2 hours (good) <br />6. Very compact can bring it anywhere, still works fine and i've dropped it from my bed to the floor! <br /> <br />Negatives <br />1. Sometimes you can hear the motor but its not too bad <br />2. The sound quality is average one should use headphones with it if they are in a slightly noisy place. (thats how most of the portable dvd players are though) <br />3. My biggest gripe, it will not play some of my dvd's like \\"Seed of Chucky\\" and \\"The Best of Everything\\" they are region 1 and copyrighted maybe the copyright has something to do with it. I have 130 dvd's and these are the only 2 it won't play. It can be moody and or picky with what it plays the disc needs to be clean. <br /> <br />Overall though a great product loses a star for not playing all of my movies but well worth it but be sure to get the extended warranty.
