Amazon.com Product Description
Easy to carry, easy to use, easy on the wallet--the only thing hard about Audiovox's portable D1500B DVD player will be turning it off. The player features a 5-inch, 4:3 aspect ratio LCD and compatibility with DVD-Video, VCD, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded discs. Take your favorite movies and music on the plane, on the bus, or even in the car for the kids--a supplied DC vehicle adapter lets you power the unit right from your dashboard cigarette lighter. The unit also includes a slim remote control for hassle-free operation in tight quarters. A handy feature called chapter preview, active in resume mode, displays the first 3 seconds of each previously viewed chapter, then rolls into normal playback once it reaches the position where you'd previously stopped the disc. Composite- and S-video and stereo analog-audio outputs let you hook the player up to your other audio/video gear for viewing on your TV. Route a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1-channel surround signal from the player's digital-audio output to a compatible audio/video receiver to lose yourself in luscious surround sound from your favorite movies and concert videos. The supplied rechargeable battery provide up to 3 hours of playback (power consumption depends on the operations of the player, such as screen brightness, volume level, etc). Playback options include frame-by -frame slow motion, picture zoom, and multiple angle viewing (with applicable discs). Headphones are not included, but the player offers built-in stereo speakers for headphones-free listening. What's in the Box
DVD player, a rechargeable player battery, a remote control, remote battery, an audio/video cable, an AC power adapter, a DC power adapter, and a user's manual with warranty information.

 Wouldn't Buy it Again January 6, 2007
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! December 22, 2006
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?

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!

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.

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.
