Summary: Very pleased
Review: We bought this on-line through Amazon/JR Music.(Shipping was a little slow?!) Very pleased with the product, battery is a little bulky but over all very nice and not a single problem. Great screen (I am glad we got a 7" screen, smaller would not be good!) Sound is fine, very nice with ear buds! I would recommend 100%-no need to spend more$

Summary: Piece of Junk
Review: I bought this for long trips and expected way more than what we recieved. After one hour it started to freeze, play for a few minutes, and then freeze again over and over. Finally it skipped all the way to the ending credits from the middle of the movie. I heard great reviews, but it is a lousy machine. I'll wait for better quality at a lower price.

Summary: Great player, perfect performance
Review: WOW! This item is worth the money. It's quality is perfect and it basicly has no downside to the player.

Pros: Perfect video and audio quality, great 7" screen, supports all formats, and good 3.5 battery life. The player also comes with everything you need like a/v cable, a/c adapter except it doesn't come with a case (well almost none do).

Cons: The battery is pretty big and bulky and kind of hangs out of the end of the player. Also the battery drains out when not pluged in. One more thing, it takes long to load Mp3-CDs.

This player is great in all, and worth buying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Plays multiple formats
Review: If you are like me, you have DVD's, VCDs, SVCDS and DVD's in more than one region. This machine will play it all. If you travel the world like we do you will be able to watch any DVD and since it has a PAL and NTSC converter inside you do not need to worry about multi-system equipment!!!!!

Summary: An Excellent Player
Review: This player is the Best! I wasn't sure how well it would work for the price, since others I have looked at were over $.$$. My son was thrilled with it. The quality of the picture is excellent, the sound is perfect, and it doesnt get hot. We have gotten over 3 hours on the battery, and the unit has not froze once. I would highly recommend it. Definitely got my money's worth!

Review: This player is the Best! I wasn't sure how well it would work for the price, since others I have looked at were "considerably more". My son was thrilled with it. The quality of the picture is excellent, the sound is perfect, and it doesnt get hot. We have gotten over 3 hours on the battery, and the unit has not froze once. I would highly recommend it. Definitely got my money's worth! And Thank you Amazon.Com, as, you promised and delivered exactly like you said. Just in time for Christmas!

Summary: How can Audiovox continue to sell this model?
Review: I have never been so disappointed in a product. Thank goodness for [Amazon.com's] convenient returns service. This product froze and skipped right out of the box on Christrmas Eve and continued the next day until we raised the white flag. Then we began researching other customer reviews, here and at other sites and the Audiovox 1680, plus other Audiovox models clearly have a pattern and history of freezing and skipping and being unusable. We are amazaed and appalled at all of the reviews we found from frustrated buyers who bought an Audiovox 1680 or another Audiovox unit and sent it back over and over until giving up. The question is this - how can they continue to market a product that has fatal flaws for at least half its buyers. One wonders if they have a conscience, cotinuing to sell a product based on either poor technology or poor design. We were so excited to purchase a portable DVD player and now are so scared by this awful experience, we are skittish about trying any brand. We have, since sending this unit back ( and again, Amazon has far and away the best return policy), purchased a Panasonic LV70 and it works perfectly. It's pricier but it doesn't skip and freeze. Bottom line - even if you get stuck with an inferior product from a manufacturer, using Amazon is worth the peace of mind.

Summary: A Very Good Player for the Money
Review: The reviews on this product are interesting in that people seem to either love it or think it is a piece of junk...very little middle ground. I've never been a huge fan of Audiovox but the price of this player compared to others is very attractive. My wife bought this model for me about seven months ago. The picture is fine for a small LCD and it has a nice, compact design with easy to use controls. The sound (through the speakers) can only be described as marginally adequate, but I doubt many other brands are much better...speakers take a bunch of power to run. Through the headphones, or a stereo TV, the sound quality is great. Through seven months of playing, it has worked well. The picture has frozen momentarily (like a second or two) maybe a half-dozen times, but that is out of dozens, if not hundreds of hours of play. The battery is good quality and holds a charge nicely, and if you end up traveling and hooking it up to a TV (vice using the LCD screen), the battery lasts a VERY long time (10 hours or more). The bad experiences are likely the result of some poor quality control. Looking at the ratio of positive and negative reviews, it looks like about one out of five of these players is likely be a lemon. However, unless you are "unlucky", you will be happy with this product's value.

Summary: If you have small children, buy this one....
Review: After excruciating research, it can down to crunch time to buy a DVD player for our end-of-summer vacation car trip. The high-end Panasonic model that we chose wasn't available in time, so we "settled" for this unit. What a pleasant surprise! Despite the reviews regarding skipping, sound, & screen size, we had no issues (okay, just one, when my 2-year old insisting on trying to play his peanut-butter smudged DVD, but easily resolved!) We bought a splitter with two headsets...perfect for plane trips, for which we appreciate a smaller unit for packing purposes. Since we didn't spend as much money, we are less nervous about our small children using this...the sound, performance, and battery/power adapters either met or exceeded our expectations.
