Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Nice looking unit, but stopped working after 3 movies
12/29/2003:  This is a nice looking unit, and has a great price.  However, the unit played just 3 movies before we started having problems with it.  It either won't recognize the DVD loaded in the tray or freeze after playing a DVD for a short period of time if it finally does recognize the DVD loaded in the tray.  It is a bit noisy when it first attempts to read the DVD, but when it has worked, it was quiet during the movie.<br />I am taking this unit back, and getting a replacement unit.  I am not ready to give up on it yet.  Hopefully, the replacement unit will work.<br />12/30/2003 Update:  I got a replacement unit yesterday.  I played two DVD's and 1 CD successfully, but now the unit is not working consistently.  It has trouble recognizing the disc that is loaded in the unit - same problem as with the first unit.  Turning the unit off for a few minutes seems to clear things up, but that is not a good solution.  Now, when playing a CD, it begins playing a track, and then freezes anywhere from 30 seconds to 3-1/2 minutes into the track.  The same problem occurs when playing a DVD - it plays, and then freezes.<br />I am taking this unit back - no more Initial for me.
