 Horrible!!!!!!!!!! January 5, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
We bought this product at Target for around $200 last summer
and didn't even use it often because it was two pieces of junk . After the first one fried itself along with my DVD, we figured we had another one to use so whatever...Surprise, surprise, the second one just imploded. You shake it and you can hear all the parts rattling around inside. It was a disaster from day one. You could never hear it and the picture quality was always poor. Didn't even last 6 months before both screens broke. A terrible, substandard product. I don't even want to give it one star but I have no choice because one star is the lowest I can rate it! Buyer beware!
 Good for the price December 12, 2007

Just bought this a few days ago from Target on sale for $199. I bought the 3 yr protection plan for an extra $19--figure you can't go wrong. I'm expecting good reliability from Audiovox. The unit works great. I like how you have the option of playing two separate dvd's. The picture quality is good, the audio is fair. It doesn't have an internal battery so you can only plan it with AC and DC current. The remote controls only work when pointing at the units from the back seat, not from pointing at the rear of the unit from the front seat. This makes it tough when sitting in the front seat and trying to make adjustments. Overall it's a great alternative to having an overhead installed DVD player for $700-$1,500...plus you can move it from car to car.
 Functional with few features. August 20, 2007

We purchased this for 4 day car trip, it was a life saver. Only issues occurred when players sat in hot sun and video started skipping. We cooled the players down and they work fine. We are making sun visors to protect the players. We have not had any problems with video quality or sound volume. Most of the time we only used the audio from one player.
Pros:
- Reads DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW etc. Burn video files as a data disc and they will play. Files must be MPEG1, MPEG2, or DVD format. I fit 4 full movies onto one DVD!
- 9" sreen has decent resolution.
- 2 remotes
Cons:
- Plastic feels cheap
- No AC adapters
- Only one player accepts video input
- Composite video ONLY
- Poor compatibility w/ file formats
- Cheap carrying bag
Given the price I was disappointed by the lack of features. They are functional enough, and 9" screens are not cheap for any model. If I were to do it over I would find a single player w/ lots of features (compatibility, video inputs, etc) and just buy two of them!

Just installed the system in our Toyota Sienna today.. Both the units can function as a stand alone, or be slaved together for 1 dvd 2 screens. This will be a handy feature for kids movie on one screen, older movie on another in seperate rows.
The audio is via a single small speaker, but when both are in use, its acceptable quality in a quiet car. The option is there via a seperate cable (sold seperately) for plugging it into external audio (like car speakers), or plug into the handy headphone jack.
My biggest gripe is that the video screen on the 'slave' unit is a much lower quality then the main screen... this is not due to calbes, etc.. as a dvd played on the unit itself has fuzzy lines, etc.. what a shame to cut corners there.
The av jacks are standard size, so feel free to bring your own length of cable for longer runs... the supplied power cables are very long.
 built well, but poor sound July 29, 2007

Unit is solid and the picture is good, but the audio system is underpowered. The built in speaker is tiny, and the internal amp makes it hard to hear in a noisy car even with headphones. (non-noise canceling cheap ones anyway).
I'm going to return my unit. I've been very happy with AudioVox in the past, I'm surprised this unit got through basic testing. I anticipated the problem when I put in a DVD in my living room, before I even tried it in the car.
Note: Unit doesn't come with a 120V adapter, but does have a stand for putting it on a table. Presumably you can use any 12V adapter that fits.
