Summary: Could not ask for a better portable DVD player for the price
Review: I recently bought the AudioVox portable DVD player and I have taken it on many trips. It has worked flawlessly. Here are my Pro's and Con's.

Pros: Outstanding value, includes car kit and many different useful wires, sleek design, reliable, great picture, big screen, and easy to use.

Cons: Cannot scan forward or backward, you can only skip scenes, no battery indicator that I can find....thats all

Overall, I highly recommend this DVD player, I was a
little skeptical at first, but this turned out to be a great buy.

Summary: A Good Value
Review: I thought that the Audiovox 1705 Personal DVD Player was a pretty good unit for the price. It is solidly built though the DVD door feels rather flimsy like it would break easily even with normal use. The control buttons have a good solid feel. Having all of the cables included makes this unit a good deal. It definitely makes this unit more versatile right out of the box.

Just keep in mind that this is a PERSONAL DVD player. (It says so right on the box.) The sound quality out of the tiny speakers is horrible. The video is crisp and clear but if you're out at an angle, the picture darkens and is hard to see. But if you're viewing alone, with good pair of headphones (you'll need to buy your own), this little unit is quite a pleasant surprise. It can be engrossing. It's almost like having your own personal home theater on your lap.

I haven't owned it long enough to judge reliability but I'll say this much. If you have a problem, the user's manual will be of little help. The user's manual is pretty bad.

Summary: ONE OF MY FAVORITE TOYS!
Review: My wife surprised me with this audiovox player for my birthday two years ago.i was thrilled.i still am! it goes everywhere, has entertained me in the finest hotels.In retrospect,i might've wanted the model with speakers at lower corners of the screen; otherwise, it's a fine piece of electronics.For its size, picture and sound are great, and it's certainly portable. This is a must-take for camping. In my fleet if dvd players, this little guy is a CHAMP!

Summary: great but I'm hearing noise....
Review: out of the headphones. Are we supposed to be hearing the DVD turn while watching with a headphone?

I bought this at Sam's Club (actually the 1708 model which is the same) for $228. It's everything I wanted. The picture quality is great and quite affordable. A bit too heavy and bulky but I just wanted something to keep the kids entertained on the plane or road trips.
The remote lets you turn the subtitles and other functions on and off without stopping the movie. I love that. It's annoying that you can not charge the battery and watch the movie at the same time. The charge lasted the whole Godfather movie. All and all I like it.

Summary: GREAT MACHINE
Review: The Audiovox D1705 is great. Works well. Good battery life. There is FAST FORWARD and REWIND on the remote control - so you CAN scan thru a DVD.

Anyone looking to crack the region code on the machine so you can play DVDs from any country - you can do so with the remote control:

1) Open the DVD Door, on remote press Setup, Right, Right, Right (that's the arrows in the middle of remote)
2) Enter 9653,a service page will appear,
3) Use Up/Down Bottom to change region Codes
4) Set to 0 (zero) for multi-region

Auidiovox will not do it for you. Overall this is a great machine.

Summary: good value
Review: was skeptical at first based on the previous clowns that said you couldn't fast forward or rewind. this is true on the base unit but the remote allows for both. one reviewer also remarked on having problems after dropping it. duh, i wouldn't expect any electronic device to work porperly after dropping it (dude take care of your toys). over all the unit works fine. great buy for the price...
