Initial DVD-1810 Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch Screen
Do not expect S-video
I bought this player expecting to connect the S-video at times to my home system.<br />Firstly, the S-video connection is completely non-standard.<BR>Secondly, the company does not provide, nor to buy, an appropriate s-video connector.<br />Instead, the technical support refers you to *buy* an adapter (that is actually a converter) from Radio Shack that supposedly converts s-video to composite. That it does, therefore losing any value from the S-video since the separate signals are coarsely combined by the converter.  In fact, the s-video done with this adapter is far worse than just the regular composite output!<br />For all intents and purposes, this DVD player provides NO useable s-video signal!  If you expect to use this feature, avoid this player.  <br />Otherwise, the display is merely adequate, and not as good as other DVD portables in this low-end price range.
