Dynex 5" Portable DVD Player
Nice little DVD player
Like you, I'm a techno geek who covets most of the grown-up toys here on Amazon.  In fact, please feel free to send me any item on my wish list!    But as the price of my toys has become outrageous, I have begun to forego some features for quality.  And I will pirchase an \\"off brand\\" if the warranty and user reviews are positive.  So when I saw the Dynex for $119 on sale at Best Buy I jumped for joy!    Now without a doubt, this is a basic DVD player.  But every disc (DVD, MP3 and CD-R) I've loaded played effortlessly on it.  And it has inputs for my digital camera for an inprotu slide show.    It's not the flashiest player I've ever seen.  In fact, its rounded edges remind me of Buck Rogers.  The speakers are a little tinny (I use headphones), but the 5\\" screen is quite clear.  There is a nice zoom feature for close-ups and you can zoom and rotate a JPEG image.    My only concer is the remote control unit.  It is credit card size, and I hope it is replaceable when I lose it.     In summary, I really like this player and heartily recommend it.    Postscript:    I loved the Dynex, but the 5\\" screen is just too small for my old eyes.  So I exchanged it for a 7\\" Polaroid player.  I will post my comments on my new toy soon.
