How it sucks

click term for excerpts - most relevant excerpts first
I guess Amazon/Warehouse Deals doesn't bother to look inside the boxes when items are returned to them, just send 'em back out to some unsuspecting customer. I was able to use my player for a while, but once the battery ran down, that was it. I had already contacted Warehouse Deals about the missing parts and they suggested that (1) I return the unit and reorder a new one (a hassle), or (2) they gave me a number to call to order the missing parts (the party that answered said they weren't the right place to call and gave me still another number) and the new outfit was to have ordered the correct parts which have not arrived.

After printing out the 88 page (!) manual, I discovered that some other items were also missing: the button battery for the remote (those things are expensive!) and two of the cables. I have returned the DVD player for a replacement from Amazon. Hopefully I will get a NEW player with all accessories included and not someone else's returned item.

It is heavy, but again, fine for us. The remote seems useless as most often I assume one would be holding the player on one's lap, not at any distance to make a remote necessary. I would have been able to rate it higher if it had come with all of its parts.

Only disappointment, is that it is noiser than I thought it should be. Extremely noisey when loading a DVD, but not bad while playing.

So here I sit with a DVD player with a dead battery and the 30-day return period has expired.

The picture is clear but the sound is terrible. I had to buy a small external speaker to go with the product. The remote control leaves a lot to be desired too.

Picture is a little dark, but I have not played with any settings. Volume control is a wheel, can not adjust with remote. Positves.

The sound is a little tinny, but improves with headphones--2 headphone jacks make it very convenient for two people to share.

Previously accessing the movies on the laptop was a chore for her but since getting the portable player she doesn't wait for me anymore - she watches them sometime during work hours.

The complaint about the battery size seems strange as we find the battery compartment to be most acceptable. If there is a complaint, it would be about the quality of audio via the speakers. This problem, however, is inherent to all portables.

How it doesn't

After much research I ordered this player. No regrets. It's easy to use right out of the box and has amazing picture quality.

I love this player. The battery runs over five hours and the picture is great on DVDs.

As for the player itself, it is ideal for our use---as an extra player at home and a travel companion for long car rides. The picture is excellent.

I did a lot of research online before deciding the purchase. Made the right decision. It is enjoyable to watch.

Many family members have purchased portable DVD players. This is, by far, the nicest of the lot.
