Audiovox D1500B 5-Inch Portable DVD Player
Audiovox D1500B is a portable DVD and CD Player with a built-in 5-inch (diagonal) LCD screen with an aspect-ratio of 4:3. At first notice, when closed, it's almost about the size of a personal CD player (about a 1/2" thicker). It's powered by a built-in rechargeable battery that can provide a little over 2 hours of play per charge. It also comes with an AC adapter for charging battery and for use at home. But, let's face it, some times you want to take this player in the car (it's really good to entertain the kids on long trips) so there's a cable that lets you power the D15000B from your car's DC cigarette lighter plug. There are built-in stereo speakers plus a headphone jack allowing the option of private listening. When connected to your home home-theater sound system, the D15000B can also deliver Virtual Surround Sound. This little player is really a must-have for your self and as a gift. What a great little performer! Headphone jack lets you listen in private when used with optional headphones Full Function Slim Wireless Remote Car Adapter allows operation off cigarette lighter plug in your car Glare reduction mode Contrast enhancement Frame Advance - Gives you more control that will allow you to stop the action.

It gets the job done, good for airpland travel but that's about it! I don't have too much good to say about this product. The screen is so small only 2 people can watch it. The sound is horrible, couldn't hear it in the car traveling with the volume turned all the way up and it's a little bulky for how small it is. Certainly not worth anything more than $40.00. Unfortunately we paid $60 for it when it was on sale but if I had to do all over again I would have invested more money into something larger and better. Take my advice and don't get this, find a different one.

Finally, a large screen portable that ISN'T 16:9!
rating: 4
I have been dissapointed by TWO portable units so far... a Coby 3.5 inch I bought at Suncoast, the screen is horrible for subtitles and I'm a HUGE anime and japanese music video buff (although the unit played burned DVD's, and MP3's on CDR and DVDR) and a 10 inch Nortech Media that was permanently stuck in 16:9 and wouldn't play MP3's (which is stupid, cuz I only played $99 for the Coby and it does everything the Nortech won't!)
So I am quite happy to finally see a portable that does MP3 discs, and has a relitively decent sized screen that isn't in crappy widescreen format. And for 80 some odd dollars? That's a steal. Now the real test will be if it plays my burned DVD's, considering most standalone home DVD players will play burns (I watched a burned DVD of "Moonchild," the movie with Gackt and Hyde in it, on a friend's older than the hills home DVD unit) it probably will. I'm taking the Nortech back and I'm getting this!
My idea for the perfect portable DVD player:
1) Hasta have a good size screen that can show subtitles and ISN'T permanently stuck in 16:9 widescreen view ratio. (Sorry but this format is for THEATRICAL MOVIES, and i watch burns of TV SHOWS, Knight Rider just doesn't look right when everyone's head is smushed downward. It also helps if that LCD screen has a shield to keep kids from making "trails" on it.
2) Should be able to display ID3 tags and scroll them. On alot of these DVD players they waste alot of screen space that could be used for more. My Rio Volt from 5 years ago does scrolling ID3 tags, and it was $50.
3) Hasta be able to play burned DVD's with .SRT subtitles. And since Nero does a pretty good job of authoring DVD's, that shouldn't be an issue. Divx support would also be cool, but I guess that's asking a bit much.
4) Treble and Bass adjustments! See, what I'd like to see is an all in one travel sized unit that is a hybrid of MP3 player and DVD player. Most HOME dvd units have bass and treble settings, so why isn't this on portables?

Pretty Good
rating: 4
I recieved my player in mid-april and i am very pleased with it, the reason i gave it four stars is becuase sometimes the screen blurs alot until you get it into the perfect position which is a little annoying!

Battery won't charge
rating: 3
I bought it on sale for 72$ and found it works great with the power-cord, but there was a problem with the battery being dead and not charging for more than a few minutes at a time.

defective battery
rating: 1
I just bought this dvd player to keep my child amused on an airplane ride. I was dismayed to find that the battery was completely dead and would not take a charge. I am in the process of returning it to Amazon.com.
