Koss DVP2161 Compact DVD with MP3/CD Player
Great Until It Broke
This seemed like an unbelievable find when I found it here on Amazon, but the bottom line is that it BROKE after playing 3 movies. <br />I liked it because it was one of the lowest priced of the compact/portable DVD players. It plays so many different formats and has basically every input/output option available. Many reviewers thought it got too hot, but ours never got above \\"warm\\" because I always propped it up on something that allowed air to circulate under it. You do have to unplug it when not in use or it will get too hot. When we popped in the first disc, the quality of the sound and video were great. We were excited about it because we were planning a long road trip with our two year old and we could play movies and MP3s from the same unit.<br />The bad part: When I tried to put in a movie, after having the unit for about 3 days, it broke. On the outside of the small black circle that holds the disc, there are some tiny silver knobs that are supposed to hold the disc in place. Somehow they just became loose and fell down inside the unit. The unit would no longer read discs because the dvd didn't stay level as it spun.<br />If you don't mind taking chances, this could be a great little DVD player, but I'm not willing to give it another try.
