Initial DVD-9510 Portable DVD Player with 4-Inch Screen
A Very Good Thing
How much can you expect from a portable DVD player that's priced [this amount] I wasn't expecting much.<br />This little puppy will fit into the pocket of your overcoat, and it has a screen that's smaller than the palm of your hand.  It comes with the battery pack, A/C adapter, cigarette lighter adapter, and the cutest little remote control.  You can use it for viewing, or hook it up to your television as a player.<br />It plays just about any kind of CD or DVD you can think of, including Kodak Picture CD's.  The picture quality is amazingly clear, although you will find it necessary to adjust the angle of the LCD screen for the best viewing.<br />The sound quality is quite good using headphones (not included), but the sound through the built-in speakers is nothing to write home about.<br />The battery pack instructions are the last item in the manual, and they are a bit vague.  Don't worry, it's not that hard to figure out.  The removable bar on the back of the battery is the charging adapter.  Plug the battery cord into one end, and the A/C cord into the other end.  When the battery is charged, the light goes off.  Pretty simple stuff, once you figure it out.<br />I can't say yet how durable this gadget is, but I'm taking it to the beach anyway.  It seems pretty sturdy, and at this price, it's practically disposable.  Well, not really disposable, but certainly not irreplaceable.  My guess is that these will end up in a lot of stockings for Christmas.
