Digital camera reviews of Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Digital camera Review: Good for what it does and what it costs!
Summary: 3 Stars
We have had this unit for about two weeks, and have just returned from a car trip to Boston, where our daughter used it in the car (with optional headphones), and we used it every night in our hotel room thru the TV set's RCA jacks.A fully charged battery lasted through one full DVD in the car, and we used it on AC in the hotel room. While the video on the internal screen isn't spectacular, it is usable, while the video thru the TV was perfectly acceptable. Contrary to other reviewers, you can set "bookmarks" to return to specific scenes, however, the menus are not very "user friendly." The remote is handy, however, it would have been nice to be able to shut off all power AND be able to control the volume of the TV.
We have not yet tried using the external DC power cord in the car, but I'm sure that it works as specified.
It will probably save us it's price in DVD rentals, or room charges, when we travel!
Digital camera Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is very great. My older brother and I each got one for Christmas this year and it is great to have! The one thing about the player that isn't so great is that it freezes and sometimes will skip if you hit it to hard by accident. Other than that,it's awesome! It is not to big and bulky so it easily is stored in a car whenever you don't need it and it fits right into the back pockets of the car seats. The box the product came in had everything you would possibly need(except a carrying case). It had a cigarette lighter plug in, so you didn't always have to use the battery in the car, a battery, and plugs to hook it to a TV or into the wall. The sound is great and if its dark, you think you are in a movie theater. It has excellent picture quality and we love it!Digital camera Review: Good side view quality -- good value.

I like this suprisingly small DVD player. I viewed them at Walmart (which now has the same price at the store :-) and the Initial allows for a far better lateral view than similarly priced competitor products. Screen size is significantly greater than a 5 inch screen. Plus it has an anti-vibration feature that like-priced competitors don't offer.Doesn't come with a case :(
Comes with a car adaptor kit.
It is so light I'm going to put it in a carrying case and mount it from the minivan ceiling!
Digital camera Review: Good so far

We got this as a Christmas gift. So far it works great. We have not used it lots, but when we have it has great picture and sound. Hopefully it will hold up.Digital camera Review: Good value 2 issues

Overall I am pleased with the product...for the price. Display and picture good and including a car adaptor is another plus. I do have 2 issues. 1. Volume inadequate with and without headphones especially on a flight with engine noise turned all the way up I could hardly hear the movie, and my hearing is fine. I am investing another $100 in noise cancelling headphones 2. Battery life with screen is 2 hours...many movies are slightly above 2 hours and you miss the ending! I have tried all over to fond a second battery OEM Initial with no lock.
