Summary: Hate it
Review: I bought this DVD player about a month ago and have been cursed with skipping and freezing. Sometimes it even cut back to the beginning of the DVD. The only reason it got 2 stars was because of the features it has. Believe you me Audiovox willbe getting a nasty gram from me. Word to the wise, find another DVD player.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: the big bulky one
Review: i bought this dvd player and as soon as i took it out of the box it was much bigger than what i thought it looked like. but i put in my movie and it froze up. i tap it and it started back up and than froze again. so i called the manufacture 800 number and they told me even though i bought it on line used... i can send it back under the manufature warrenty. and that made me happy. so as long as it wooks when i get it . I'll be ahead of the game for the price =) Well i just got my player back and they gave me a brand new unit. Thats what i call customer service with a smile =)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: DVD1500 A great system but a little heavy
Review: I compared this system with several others and found that for the price and what you walk away with nothing came close. I paid [$] for it and think that it was money well spent. The only down side would be the weight. At a little over 3lbs it is heavy so make sure you purchase a bag to carry it in. The picture and sound are good and it comes with enough wires that you can connect it to almost anything. All in All I think this is a Great Little Player.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Item For The Price
Review: I have a lot of fun with this product. The reviews are true regarding the instruction manual, which really is awefull, however, if you're at all knowledgeable about electronic products, you'll have no problem figuring it out. You can hook this up to your TV set as well. A Tip: The hook-up is very simple if you have a "line in" button on your VCR. All you do is plug the audio/video jacks into the back of your VCR and hit your line in button on your VCR to operate (I tried every other way of connecting). The coolest thing about this product is, you can watch it through your TV or just on it's own. The 5" screen is actually plenty big enough to see incredible detail. My favorite way to use this product is while I'm home on the computer, I plug my computer speakers into it and watch a DVD while I'm checking e-mail etc. Also, get plenty of use as a home theatre system because the audio out on this product allows me to hook it up to my surround sound option on my stereo system. Really glad I bought it and for not much more than a non-portable player!

Summary: Was it made in Russia?
Review: I have owned this product now for about 8 months (it was a Christmas Present for my daughter). It's intended use was for traveling hence it has only been used occasionally.

However, I am sorry to report that it is falling apart and further it no longer plays a DVD...When you put one in it just says "reading" on the screen and the disc spins faster and faster until it is making a whirring noise so loud you turn it off before something weird happens. Call me old fashioned but I think a DVD player should be able to play DVDs.

Would I buy another Audiovox product? Well this is my first experience with one and I can say it was a total waste of money. I think it should have lasted much longer than 8 months of pretty easy use.

Summary: Problems galore
Review: I received the Audiovox DVD1500 for Christmas, after having asked for a Panasonic or a Toshiba portable DVD player. My mother-in-law saved over $... by getting me this one, so I don't fault her. However, had I been shelling out the money I would have done without until I could have afforded more.

Once I got used to the fact that I know owned an Audiovox product (something I had vowed never to do), I found that this little unit had some pretty good features: S-Video out, Optical Digital Out, a pretty decent screen, and good battery life. My only complaints were that it was kind of clunky (unlike the 2nd and 3rd generation models that are much slimmer) and it also couldn't play MP3's.

We used the player in the car ride home and my son watched about five Baby Einstein DVDs. I used it a little to watch bits and pieces of some new DVDs I had gotten for Christmas. Finally, the other night I snuggled into bed to watch Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's stone. About halfway through it began to skip and hang-up. I checked the DVD multiple times and there were no scratches and no dust. It also wasn't acting up in the same spot like a scratch would have caused. I did notice that the unit was quite hot.

Since then it will play a DVD for about a minute or so and then freezes or skips ahead eventually a couple chapters. I'm getting ready to ship it back to Audiovox--IF my mother-in-law still has her receipt. Otherwise, Audiovox wants $...to repair the device. Remember what I said I'd do if I were spending my own money?

My ** 2 star rating is an average of:
**** four stars for features
* one star for design (too big and heavy)
* one star for quality (broke after limited use)

Rating: 2 stars
