Audiovox D1708PK 7-Inch Ultra Slim Line Portable DVD Player Review

Audiovox D1708PK 7-Inch Ultra Slim Line Portable DVD Player Review from Proud Pappa. Important design flaw in the battery system, I purchased this portable dvd player for a trip to Maui to prevent Elmo and Wiggles withdrawl by our 19 month old. The Panasonic portable dvd players clearly had better screens when viewed side by side at a local store. The Audiovox display is acceptable. With real bad screens, I’ll watch some movie and keep thinking how bad the screen is. With the Audiovox I’m able to enjoy the show.
Was the Panasonic $100-150 better? For frequent use by an adult, yes. I was actually pretty close to going for the Panasonic because the screen was so nice. I ended up going the cheap route for the following reasons:
1. No audio/video input jack for the Panasonic. I can use my Audiovox dvd player to play xbox.
2. The bonus pack that comes with the Audiovox is actually of decent quality and useful like the carrying case, ac adapter, car cigarette lighter adapter, a/v cords, and two comfy headsets. A little research showed that the car cigarette lighter adapter for the Panasonic was actually pretty expensive.
3. I’m certain my son will knock this dvd player over one day when I’m not looking. I’ll feel better that it wasn’t worth $100-150 more.
The Audiovox performed like a champ on the trip. My wife and I even watched a movie together with the two headsets while our son slept five feet away in his crib in our hotel room. Not sure how the quality will hold up over time but I feel good knowing that if goes kuput within a few weeks, I’ll have an easier time working something out with Amazon.
