3 out of 5 stars Good overall, car power adapter weak   April 26, 2005

I purchased this DVD player mainly for use in the car on a long trip with a toddler. I like the tablet style and the bag mounts to the back of a headrest nicely. Overall picture and sound quality are very good for a portable player. Works great with the battery or the ac power cord inside. Barely works AT ALL with the cheap car power adaptor included with the player. Takes many attempts to get it to power the player, a real pain with a squirmy kid in the backseat. I was able to attach the battery, invert the player and invert the picture using the "mode" button for a couple hours, and it fit in the car headrest bag if I didn't fasten the top. Solution: go to Radio shack and get a decent "adaptaplug" and extension cord. Cost about $20, now it works with no problems. Easier for me than messing the warranty hassle from RCA. Overall good, if you don't mind buying an extra car plug.


5 out of 5 stars Transcontinental flights are much better now.   August 5, 2004

I bought this little player for air travel.
Originally, I was looking at the fold open style until I saw this one. The price was right, so I took the chance.

Great player!
Picture quality is excellent for the size.
No 'fold open' hinges or latches to wear out.
I especially like the design of setting it up like a picture frame stand on the airplane serving tray in front of me.
Battery life so far has been 3:30 to 3:50 which is enough to get through "Return of the King".

The "back of seat" bag (included) looks like it would be quite nice to use in the van. We have a factory DVD player, but now have the option of letting some of the kids watch a DVD while others play N64...with headphones all around.

In short, I am pleased with the quality/value of the player.
