Initial DVD-9510 Portable DVD Player with 4-Inch Screen
Some People Are Too Picky
I have read all reviews and a lot of people have said that the product is bad because of its small screen.  Well, the screen size is something you are aware of when you bought it. Even if you bought it online, the screen size is still listed, and you can get a ruler to see how big it would be. So I dont know how you can fault the machine for that. As far as it being pixelated, any small screen is gonna be pixelated unless it is a plasma screen, which would not be cheap. Secondly, many people say the battery is ugly and that it is an external.  It is an external battery, true, but an internal battery would cost more and make the machine a lot bigger. While the battery may not make the player win any awards for style, unless you are buying it to show at competition, this really isn't a factor.  I dont think your kids in the back seat would say &quot;Daddy, i dont want to watch a movie, the battery is ugly.&quot; I have never had trouble playing any DVD's, there have been times a dvd wouldn't play, but it was because the dvd was smudged or had a finger print. All dvd players are finicky, and will not play if that is the case. The sound is very good, for the size of the speakers. I have had no trouble with the battery staying on and it does not feel like it is going to break off.  But as with any electronic product, take care of it, if you drop it, it wont last long. As far as the &quot;external cable&quot; that connects the player to the battery, It is a whopping 2 inches long. As far as the power cord not stretching to the back seat, it does fine in my car.  Of course it may not do so in a minivan or limousine that is longer, but your average 2 or 4 door you should have no problem. Thats why they dont have a warning label saying &quot;The car adapter cord will not stretch to back seat&quot;, because all cars are DIFFERENT! I have had it for about 9 months now, no problems. If you are looking for a portable DVD player, that doesn't cost you a lot of money, this is a great option.  If you dont like a small screen, dont get this model, get one with a bigger screen. If you need subtitles, dont even get a portable dvd player because sub titles do not work well on any of them. If your worried about it breaking, buy it at Wal-Mart, they return anything, just keep your reciept.
