RCA DRC616N 7-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player with 3+ Hour Battery
Good player, but get a bigger carrying case
Just received the DVD player (about 36 hours after placing my order from Amazon -- good job shipping, guys!) and it seems to be a great product.  Easy to operate, very nice picture and color, sound is excellent with headphones (dual capacity) and OK/good without them.  I am certainly no \\"techie\\" so it all seems good to me, and it had the best price out there for a name brand with good reviews.  There are lots of fancy features I haven't even had the chance to try yet.  <br /> <br />Minor gripes:  the polished lid will likely show a lot of scratches with just a bit of use, but that's only cosmetic; and I found the \\"open\\" button a little bit hard to use due to its small size, but not excessively so. <br /> <br />The only thing I wished I'd known beforehand was about the carrying case.  (I looked everywhere for more info about it before ordering, but couldn't find anything, even on RCA's site.)  Anyway, there is a carrying case included that has straps to attach over the headrest of your carseat or between the two headrests, and it will do the job of holding your player up in the car, but the case itself is very small -- it is barely big enough to hold just the player and the battery pack.  They fit in the case literally \\"like a glove\\" which I suppose might be OK in that the thing sure isn't going to rattle around any!  The directions say to disconnect the battery pack when not in use, but you can barely jam both of them into the case unless the battery is connected -- I did manage it finally but had to put the battery pack on top which I fear will eventually scratch the polished lid.  I couldn't even squeeze the instruction manual in with the player.  Maybe I'll get better at packing with practice, or maybe the leather-like case will stretch a little -- the back \\"hinge\\" is slightly elastic.  There are no additional pockets in or on the case for any of the accessories provided (car jack, AV cables, AC cable/battery charger, and remote control), not to mention any DVDsor any headphones, so that will be a pain because it will mean a whole separate case for travel, which is why I bought this in the first place.  I guess if you have lots of storage space in your car you could just leave everything in the car permanently.   <br /> <br />I had another larger carrying case in my shopping cart, but decided I'd give the RCA one a chance and so I deleted it.  Mistake -- wish I hadn't been so cheap and would've left it in there!  If you want to carry all your DVD equipment together in one place for travel, do yourself a favor and get another carrying case.  <br /> <br />So other than that, the player itself seems great!  I'll edit my review if it needs it after our upcoming 14-hour car trip with six people in the car.  (Sigh...)
