I haven’t found anything to dislike. I previously returned a different make/model as it did not support dolby dvds but this does all I need, picture quality and sound all good.
I don’t have space for a normal DVD player – so opted for this one to hook up to the TV, on the rare occasion I watch a DVD. It’s a bit clunky but does the job. The sound quality is quite poor but I either have it plugged into speakers or wear headphones.
Was brought as husband was in hospital, no tv to watch also had ear phones so did not disturb other patients.
Does the job, I wanted a small portable dvd player for the bedroom I could pop on my bedside table, I like that it has old-school clunky tech with a mechanical eject button and big obvious play and select buttons so friendly for anyone with poor vision or using in low light or without the remote.
I think this is ideal for older folks and those with poor vision who need a big-button phone etc, and kerchunk to know you pressed something- ideal for the sick bed, hospital bed, nursing home bedroom- I think anyone under the age of 50 with good eyesight will lament the pucture quality!
Pretty good when bought on special offer but please note, poor low sound quality.
Brilliant. Granddaughter loves this player. It does everything as described in the product description. It’s a great machine.
The after sales service provided by DBPOWER is exceptional!
I am quite happy to recommend this dvd player and DBPOWER.
DVD player looks good attractive blue colour picture quality is good , very pleased
Don’t buy Khanka Hard Case Carrying Travel Bag for DBPOWER 11″ it’s to small or tight for an extra 2 get the Khanka Hard Travel Case for COOAU 11.5″ this should link to it

This takes the dvd and all the accessories
My Husband was annoyed at the cost for this as its crap, in his words…..however, on family camping trips, long car journeys and in general in the house. This ‘piece of crap’ has been invaluable at keeping our 2yr old content and happy! So much so, hubby now thinks its brilliant!!!
Great little device, no problems; the volume is a little low.
We liked this little player but it was poor enough quality that it broke after 3 months use. The whole time it was sitting on a desk and used only to watch DVD’s, so it wasn’t like it was being used hard or moved around roughly etc. Very disappointed as it feels like it was money wasted.
Updated: changed from 1 to 4 stars as the seller stood behind their product and gave me a refund
Bought as a present for my Son. He’s only used it a couple of times so far, but says it works well. Looks great & good value for money compared to some other makes. Would recommend.
Screen is really good size, picture quality is great. The only down side I would say is that it is quite noisy, fine if you are the one watching the film as you have your headphones on but not so great for the person sitting next to you! But other than that a great item.
Returned the player because the carry case purchased at same time was 1/2 inch smaller than advertised and player wouldn’t fit into it. In the interim son loaned me a small TV set whilst my own was being repaired
Not used it yet (charging up) but looks good, comes well packaged with a handy bubble wrap case. Got top reviews of all portable dvd players on Amazon and took only 1 day with free delivery to arrive.
You can rotate the screen flat against the unit too which is great when you dont want your infant opening the dvd cover every 2 mins. Apologies for pants picture.
This was purchased for our 3yo to keep occupied on our 7 hour journey on holiday! Looks sturdy and the screen is a good size.
The product arrived well packaged and included ,uk mains charger ,car charger and output leads. Product seems well built, picture quality is very good as is the sound ,batteries were included with the supplied remote control . Instruction manual is easy to follow .Only used DVD player for 1 week however so far very satisfied with my amazon purchase .
Very light which makes it great to travel with and being able to charge it and play without it having to be plugged in is great! Arrived well packaged
This is a good portable dvd player. I bought it based on many reviews all over the internet saying it was a best buy and very good value for money. It does seem a little noisy but when playing the dvd it quietens down. The picture & screen quality is very good & the remote works very well.
Love the picture quality on this dvd player. The sound is pretty good but a little ‘tinny’ to listen to. Four stars simply because when wearing earphones to hear the sound you can hear the revolutions of the disc which is too distracting for me. All in all good value.
Nice unit with good picture quality. Sound good for size of unit. The only problem is when connected to a TV the unit still has screen and sound on resulting in an echo! You need to put headphones into socket to eliminate the echo
Child friendly and great product. My son is so happy
It charged up quickly and on first inspection does the job well. I will have to try it out in the car now and see whether it can be mounted onto the back of my Volvo seats. Volume is ok but will have to test it whilst driving the car in order to ascertain whether it is loud enough. In any case, it can be used with headphones.
My daughter’s portable DVD player broke so we searched for a new one. I decided to buy this DBPower one after looking and comparing several DVD players – the specs are really good, the screen is a great size, the picture quality and the sound quality are great too. We used it when camping – the whole family can see the screen.
Can’t fault it, very happy with my purchase!
Happy with the item and does what we wanted it for.Delivery very prompt and well packaged.Only comments are that the sound could be a bit louder as I think background noise in a car could be a problem and the remote (which has a LOT of functions on it) could do with being bigger to use more easily.
Fab product. Got it for my foster child for her birthday. Heavy duty enough for this pretty destructive 10yr old. It lived falling off the bunk bed, thrown in the car and stepped on. She could plug the headphones in and it. played every DVD ever bought (including cheap ones from poundland and home bargins).
Great price and a perfect gift for my daughter. The way the screen can be tilted, turned and folded back depending on how you’re viewing is really good as-is the ability to connect to a tv. Plus it comes with all the leads you need to watch at home, in the car and connect to a tv.
Very satisfied will be ideal when we go out in the caravan or at home when I want to watch my DVDs and my partner is watching the TV
Bought this great portable dvd player so that I could do my pilates workout watching the dvd as I went through it. I can’t remember all the moves. This portable dvd is simply perfect for this!!
I should also add that the picture quality and the sound is fantastic and I am very happy with the high quality of this player and all its functions. No excuse to keep fit now!!
Since receiving this I have watched several DVDs and it works fine. The picture quality is good and the sound is loud enough.
It does make a loud noise when the dvd starts but it didn’t have an effect as the sound is loud enough to drown out the noise.
Arrived within 2 days of order . Meets all the good reports I had read . Sound and picture quality very good especially for the money . Light but well built and satisfies my requirement other than discovered made in China . This should have been made clear prior to purchase since DBPower is supposedly of Indian origin and thus I assumed that India would be the country of manufacture and I would not be contributing financially towards an undemocratic country which treats its own people with as little respect as it does the rest of the world .
Originally I deducted one star for the low sound, but I’ve revised this because I don’t think I’d find a better quality DVD player for such a great price.
Original review:
I do like this little DVD player a lot. The picture is very clear. My only issue is the sound, it’s very quiet and you need headphones. I don’t like wearing headphones, but cannot hear it without. But I understand that something this small would not have good volume. With headphones it’s very good quality. That said, I think this is the best of this price range and has other good reviews, so will see how it goes.
Picture quality is crisp, sound is very good. All in all I would recommend and give it 5*
Overall, delighted with the DVD player and look forward to using it.
I bought this for a few reasons, we have young children and wanted it for car journeys camping and other away from home uses. It is robust enough to manage frequent use and handling of children. The graphics are very clear on the screen and much brighter than we imagined. The sound quality is perfect and can be managed with or without the remote. We were pleased that it came with different leads, it has a car cable, mains plug and tv connecting wires. Also it is light and compact.
his dvd is a fantastic item. Picture quality is excellent, sound isn’t too bad either, even better when you put it through the cars audio system. I had problems with the player freezing up after a couple of weeks, but after emailing customer support @dbpower, they replaced it with another one straight away. This company is first class, thank you dbpower.
Wanted something to watch Dvds on while in bed and away from home. Great little player, Remember to take the card out from where the laser is!
Works on my R1 dvd and R2 fine, quite happy with it. Would recommend as it seems to be a great little dvd player for on the go.
Bought this for my elderly mother so that she can play her audio book cds on it. When playing dvds the picture quality is good and the sound clear. It is easy to use and an attractive modern unit. The screen rotates. This was bought as a replacement for another one of these which lasted 3 years.
It arrived well before estimated time. It has a nice weight to it and is easy to use. The volume goes up to 20 which sometimes is not very loud, but after reading the instructions I saw that this can be dependent on the dvd itself too. For a personal dvd player, it is fine and if I need it louder then I will get speakers.
The product I have only had for a few days and am still getting to grips with using it. I have purchased it for my son for car journeys, for his bedroom and even if he wants to take it outside into the garden during lockdown to play a movie. It is also very handy to take away as some places I have stayed dont always have a dvd player so this is ideal. So far so good. Charges well and battery lasts a while so far happy. Easily packaged, easy to put together. Easy to use for my 6 year old so
I look forward to testing it in these situations once the COVID lockdown ends. In the meantime in home testing it works well and gives a nice clear picture with crisp sound. I also like the way the screen turns and flips right round making it a nice compact unit for use in the car with a head rest mou
Well packaged on arrival.
The screen is crisp and clear from a variety of angles but the swivel feature which allows the screen to pivot on the base is really good.
Controls on the top of the unit are clear as well as the included remote.
It comes with mains and car power adaptor and the fact it’s rechargable is great. Useful for when we travel and have limited powe points.
A variety of features allow playback from different sources.
Overall a great piece of kit, recommended
The screen size is a lot better than other models but a friend who uses hearing aids thinks the volume is set too low and has to use sub titles. I have noticed that the volume is very low sometimes even at it’s highest. I have contacted the seller because the Warranty registration would not work by visiting their site which not a lot of people do only to find they are offering 10% for first time buyers which makes it very lucrative at this price. Please explain.
Bought this yesterday and arrived a day later, my disabled daughter has been wanting a player for so long and I must say she was so happy with this. The screen is a good size and clear picture, also swivel screen allows easy watching when in bed. The sound is nice and clear and worth every penny of the small amount paid, overall a good quality player at a very good price, highly recommended.
Very please with this portable DVD player. Mostly used in my bedroom to watch my films. Very easy to use both with or without the remote. The resolution of the screen is low, but perfectly adequate for dvd use. Would highly recommend for the price. Only 2 small points that they could improve On the device. 1) the viewing angle could be better. You do need to angle it just right to get the best picture quality. 2) not a fan of the gloss exterior. This can easily end up with finger prints all over it. A Matt finish would be much better as a portable device.
The DVD player works as described. I use it for my children football skill training in the park and to keep them entertained in the car. If it played MP4 video I would have given it 5 stars rather than 4. Getting the DVD player in black is more expensive which is a shame. When confirming if it played MP4 or not the customer support was absolutely EXCELLENT. Contact them ANYTIME and they live-chat!
This is a great little DVD player. It comes with 3pin 240 plug as well as 12v car charger so you can keep charging wherever you go. It also comes with an audio visual cable which makes hooking up to a TV with AV inputs very easy. This unit does feel a little lighter and flimsy compared to a non-travel DVD player but that is to be expected. There is a travel bag available for this online. Screen is great, plays AVI files from USB. I haven’t tried the SD card yet but would expect similar performance. Volume is fine however, if you are in a noisy environment headphones recommended. Hook up to TV is really easy with the AV cable. Overall really pleased with this unit. Daughter loves it and makes for far less boring journeys, especially the longer journeys.
This plays dvds perfectly and is more than big enough to keep children entertained in the back seat. Remote control is an essential feature for younger children so parents can decide what will be played and when.
It can be a bit difficult to find the right file type for usb and sd card playback, resolution cannot be too high or nothing will be displayed. Other than that, very happy with this product.
The player is very noisy. I thought this would just be while it was setting up but it continues when the dvd is playing. It is annoying to anyone not wearing headphones and to those not using the player but are sitting nearby! I bought this for someone undergoing treatment for cancer but I don’t think she will be able to use this in the hospital.
An update on this, the company contacted me after seeing my review and were most helpful. I received a full refund and didn’t have to return the player. This is really excellent customer service so I have given five stars.
My daughter absolutely loves her new DVD player. This is the second one she has had made by dbpower. Only replaced as she broke other. Screen size, Picture and sound quality Is amazing. Simple for children to use. Brilliant that the screen turns around to go Flat. Battery life is amazing especially for in car but that said is does have a Charging lead for the cigarette lighter.
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a great quality portable DVD player.
This is a handy little gadget for those places where there is no internet connection and rubbish TV!! It’s compact enough to slip into hand luggage. The picture quality is very good although the sound isn’t always loud enough but overall I’m very happy with it. I’ve used it several times and thinks it’s great. I cannot comment on the battery life as I always use it plugged in.
Just wanted to update my review after 5 months. Still rate as 5 stars, but I was offered a case at time of purchase as a thanks for 5 star review (unnecessary but welcome). This never arrived and after querying, was offered an10 voucher. This never arrived.
Beware false promises.
my daughter likes a DVD player and has gone through many in our time. Opted this time for the dbpower model for the first time and must say so far so good. great product for a very good price. Will update as only ben using for a week so far…but so far so good.
Overall I’m quite disappointed and wonder if mine might be faulty because of the poor sound quality and short battery life.
If it still works in future then I may use it in the car or for on holidays when the sound quality might not be such an issue but for now it is unusable for what I need it for. Such a shame.
EDIT- since my review customer services for in touch and offered a refund or replacement DVD player. I chose a replacement, yet to try it out but hoping the new one is better! Very impressed with the service received to offer this so I recommend on this basis.
Worked out of the box without issues, the menu is a bit fiddly but one set holds those settings.
Only two things let it down, The sound is not all that great, serviceable but not TV quality.
Second is you need to be very careful about the charge voltage, CHECK IT FIRST. plugged t by mistake into a 24v charge point. it did not like that one little bit. I have repaired it and it is now fine but looking for a 24v charger.
On reading the instruction booklet the BATTERY LIFE is only for 2 hours NOT 5 hours as stated.
Not happy I rang Amazon and I am returning the product for a full refund. I didn’t even try and play a DVD on it … shame. I was just so mad that the description for it is so clearly incorrect.
Off to ARGOS to purchase a BUSCH one as I need it urgently before a long drive and can’t chance ordering another one from Amazon as they can’t check it out prior to sending it as it’s from a 3rd party.
Rant over ….
Update DB power were very apologetic and resolved the problem
8th July 2018 – Sadly having to return this portable DVD player due to a fault with the internal battery. Worked perfectly while plugged into mains, good picture and sound quality, but wouldn’t switch on without mains supply despite charging overnight. Wanted for holidays and travel so decent battery life essential. Returning to Amazon for a refund on this occasion.
This arrived the very next day, beautifully packed. After charging, we were soon playing a disc. The picture quality is excellent and more than fulfilled our expectations for the price paid. The unit is slim, and well constructed and not at all cheap looking. As I have only had the unit a few hours, I have not had time to go through all the menus, but the picture looks good without any adjustments.
Only just started using it but up to now I’m very pleased. Seems well made and sturdy, good picture but you need to be more or less facing the screen as you lose some clarity to the side. Inbuilt speakers were just about ok with a homemade DVD but with a movie (Men In Black) even at full volume it was barely audible. With headphones though there was no problem. At less than 50 its great value for money.
One night the day before a long trip I was trying to get the things set up properly and it was driving me wild. The tablets just wanted to do updates which were taking forever, the phones ran out of memory etc etc. So I had two option, spend 1500 on two new iPads and a load of movies at 10 or so each, which are really the only tablets that actually work quite well, or spend 80 on two of these DVD players.
So at 11.45pm (!!!) on that Saturday night I hit order, fingers crossed they’d arrive on Sunday before our departure. 10.30am Sunday there they were. Plug in, disc in and press play. Could not be easier. Best thing I’ve done for keeping the kids entertained on our long journeys, plus we can use them in all sorts of other places as they seem to have a good 5 hours of battery life. Comes with mains plug and 12v car plug, plus cables to connect to TV and even a remote control. I don’t care if they break in 6 months, (they are quite plasticy but with some care I don’t foresee a problem) I’ll just spend another 40 to replace them. How much do apple want for a replacement screen on an iPad these days?!
After getting a faulty one in term of screen, I left a 3* review. The seller decided to send another dvd. This new one is better, especially in term of screen quality and noise when the dvd is running. This is of course not the quality screen of a pad or smartphone, keep in mind this player is priced under 50. I didn’t try the speakers as i used earphones. Barttery ok last according to instructions manual.
I have been looking for something like this for my son and I am absolutely over the moon with this mini portable DVD player. His favourite colour is Dark Blue so this fit him perfectly. Some of the contents of the box are DVD player, remote control, instruction manual, charger and car charger. The instruction manual is very clear and laid out nicely. The screen can be swivelled like a tablet view, tilted and rotated to adjust to your viewing needs. The swivelled tablet style can easily slide into the mounted car headrest which I have brought separately – this is so useful for family trips or long outings. Overall, I’m really pleased with this. It does support a number of formats like USB, AVI and MP3 to name a few. Overall, it can be taken anywhere and anytime which is what I am after.
Re-ordered and it arrived in reasonable time.
OK it plays DVD’s but the sound quality is poor and the volume, even on full, isn’t loud enough.
The picture is fine.
The player itself is very cheap plastic and appears very poor quality. At best, it’s a very basic cheap DVD player. It’s flimsy and I have no expectations of it lasting very long. 50 wasted.
Very unimpressed by Amazons service and refusal to say why the first order was cancelled.
Overall my advice is…….save your money and buy a product you can actually see in a shop.
Amazon account closed.
Up-date 19/1/2018.
The seller has clearly read my feedback and sent me an additional DVD player as a gesture of goodwill. What a difference between DB Power Custoner Service compared to Amazons dismissal. Great customer care DB Power. Thank you.
Bought as a gift for my son for Christmas so he can watch his favourite movies over and over and hopefully we can reclaim our TV back. Have checked it out and played a disc to see what it is like and it seems perfectly fine. You can adjust the brightness etc either on the panel or the remote. I think we are going to have one very happy little boy Christmas day. It is a solid piece of equipment .
So pleased with this dvd player. I ordered this for my granddaughter as I was looking after her for a couple of weeks and thought this would keep her amused for a while especially in the car. I was worried as to wether it was a good one kid’s can be such critic’s even at the age of 8. But I needn’t have worried apparently I made a good choice. Phew also the delivery was really quick thanks
Excellent product. Seems to be a good build quality and plays DVD’s very well with a good quality image. I would recommend using headphones for better quality sound. We recently purchased three (two blue and one black), one for each of our 3 children who love them and they make long journeys bearable again. They play around 3 average length films before needing to be charged but curiously the black one losing charge quicker than our two blue ones, but nothing major.
I have some technical issues with mine but I have contacted the seller who has agreed to send me a new one without any issues and provided amazing customer service! Thank you
The first unit sent to me had an issue with the soldering of the earphone plug which resulted in a static noise and sound bleeding through with the headphones plugged in. Upon contacting the seller, a new unit was immediately dispatched. This one has so far worked just fine.
The player is lightweight compared to the heavy Philips model, circa 2005, which is not a bad thing. It’s used to watch DVDs to wind down at the end of the night before the light is switched off and sleep comes. For this purpose it ticks the boxes for me. The price was attractive, as is the fact it is a universal player since I have my Region 1 collection with me. I’ve no complaints over the sound reproduction, best listened to with headphones, or colour rendering; and am very happy at this stage with the purchase.
I like the rotating screen as it does give viewing options.
For my purposes I am very happy with the product and am now ready to be entertained the next time my back goes out!
Bought this to take on holiday so that we can watch DVDs while travelling and on the rainy days – It comes with an AV out socket and cable, so you can plug it into any TV with AV in sockets (or buy SCART / HDMI adaptors and then it’s pretty much every TV).
My first impression is that it feels very ‘plasticy’ and a bit flimsy. I am a bit weary when I swivel the screen, in case I swivel it the wrong way and snap it, but so far no problems. It is very light, and doesn’t take up very much space.
The sound is good – don’t expect anything huge from the bass, but the internal speakers do go loud enough (much louder than my laptop).
The picture is also good. The viewing angle isn’t huge, but for one or two people you can get the right angle, and the screen is very easy to move to all angles.
It is very easy to switch between DVD/CD and USB/SD modes. This is nice for sharing pics, as you can plug it into a TV for everyone to see. One thing that is a shame is that it doesn’t support all video formats, so you can’t view these.
All in all, it’s a very good price for a good DVD playe
Lovely little item good quality excellent price comes complete with one dvd game and games controller to keep you or the little ones happy could always check out other available games and free downloads to build up a good games collection. The dvd can be watched at variouse angles to suit. L chose a blue colour but there are a few other choices not just black as standard there are leads to connect other gadgets sound and picture very clear and good no interference a good deal for what you get and screen good size. Will definatley buy from this seller in the futire. Tbank you and enjoy your product if you decide to purchase its a bargain.
I bought two of these at the same time one 10 inch and one 7.5 inch – I will he reviewing each separately.
The player arrived already charged so I attached the charger and left it till the single light went out. I then played dvds one after another (another different light came on when player was switched on) till the battery depleted. This was from 22.10 hrs till 4.05 hrs. You get no warning of battery at zero screen just blanks. I was watching The Godfather.
Sound was ok, sounds good with sufficient volume for me but there is a headphone socket so I could plug in a portable speaker. I found the smaller model had less volume but ok as if you are sat closer to it it does not need to be loud.
I then put the player to recharge but went to sleep so sorry can’t tell you how long the recharge took.
When player was fully charged I watched two short movies and then put The Godfather disc back in. I pressed play on the remote and the film resumed exactly where it was up to when the battery ran out despite removing disc and recharging and playing two other films.
The remote control has tiny, tiny buttons. The play button also pauses your movie is situated in centre of remote immediately below the blue triangles for up, down and left, right. Why oh why don’t they put the Play button at the top next to the Power button and alongside Mute then you can find these in a dark bedroom, caravan or car. The remote takes two AAA batteries that do not come with the player.
Picture is great but having the 7.5″ model I could compare and the smaller model has a more distinct sharper picture. This is the same as with the 10.1 inch Kindle Fire and its smaller editions. I am referring about the Kindle Fires that have microSHMC card slot. The smaller screen has the sharpest picture.
It has played every single dvd I have tried but I have no blue ray discs and only a few USA discs not tried yet.
The appearance looks cheap, has charger, car adaptor, games disc and games player – not tried yet, cables to send dvd signals to a tv, remote control BUT NO BATTERIES for the remote control.
Like someone else wrote for the price I paid if it lasts 12 months I will be happy.
I watch TV on my larger Kindle Fire HDX and the new larger screened 10.1″. There are so many films to watch especially on Prime but I miss my dvd films that are not available or not free on Prime and so now I can watch both – by swapping the small devices over.
By the way this player plays letter box sized movies but if you use cables and connect the dvd player to your TV you get the letterbox movie in full screen mode on your TV. You can even watch both your big and little screens at the same time.
Another point made by a reviewer is that the player is old fashioned in the sense that it is too thick to fit in some car harnesses. We use a type that is a wallet type holder for swivel screen dvd player stitched to a wide firm elastic band that wraps around the head restraint of the car seat in front fixed with very wide velcro. It is an excellent holder but I doubt the 7.5″ model will fit.
I bought a holder off Amazon for fixing a tablet to a car head restraint from same manufacturer and the broad elastic fixes the same way in fact there are 2 types – there is an additional one that allows for a deeper device so this may help people who read this for fixing devices for rear passengers. Instead of a fixed wallet there are metal brackets that fix to the broad elastic.
All in all I am pleased with this playe
The main reason for buying is to take on holiday for the journey and keeping kids entertained when they wake up at 5am.
Oh and I recently discovered Bomb Jack on the games disc!!!
I had previously left a negative review on this item as I experienced a fault after 2 months and Amazon wasn’t giving me the option to return.
However the company contacted me directly and offered me a replacement under their 1 year warranty. Very friendly and prompt customer service. Thank you!
(5 stars for customer service, 4 stars overall as the first player had a fault)
I was excited when I first got this as it really looked like a simple portable device for watching our DVDs on holiday and while travelling. The picture is fine and the controls straightforward enough. Sadly, the sound quality is very poor. Every Dvd we watch has to be paused and restarted every few minutes when the audio goes out of time with the picture. Today I attempted to watch a dvd on a plane with headphones but I gave up because the audio was unbearable. In addition to the aforementioned sound lag, the dialogue was inaudible at the top volume while the music and background noises were deafening!
On leaving this review I got an email almost immediately offering a refund or replacement. I have received a replacement in less than a week but as I’m back to work now haven had a chance to test whether the audio is better. I will update when I know if it was a one off or not.
The player looks a bit like a small laptop and I was really surprised by how light it is! It is SO light and therefore really convenient to carry about – it is truly portable.
It is simple to charge and it does seem to hold its charge very well.
It is easy to get up and running. Once your film is playing, the picture is very clear and at 10.5″ the screen is a big enough size to really be able to enjoy what you’re watching. The sound is clear and is not distorted, even at louder volumes.
The screen itself lifts up (like on a laptop) and it swivels, so you can angle it at the position you want it at – very useful when you have more than one child trying to watch it!
I like the fact that it comes with the games and controller – a very good idea which makes it more versatile.
The player has been particularly useful in the car for long journeys where my children tend to easily get bored and start moaning.
Overall, this is a really good product and I really like it.

*I was given this item at no cost, in return for an honest review*
With a size of around 29cm wide and 21cm width this has a similar footprint to a smaller notebook/netbook though it’s quite a light item. The main appeal of this player is that it’s not just a DVD playback device but also can:
– Play other video and audio formats via the SD card or USB port: Xvid, AVI, MPG, MP4, WAM, MP3 etc (most of the common formats are here but there are many sub formats esp MP4 not all will work)
– DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW you can playback from your own media discs (not all players allow this) there is no region coding either
– Copy music and video files you can rip MP3 files from a CD too
– It’s also possible to input video and audio via a supplied cable. Also included are a UK power adapter, car charger and mini game controller (plus CD) and a button remote (fairly decent too takes 2x AAA cells) The TV AV socket is blanked out on the model I looked at (marked but nothing to connect to)
Manual could use some work with broken English and translation errors it’s not that clear but you can muddle though it with a bit of work and it’s fairly straight forward as the buttons on both the main control panel and remote are logical enough. On the side are slots for the SD card, USB, AV in/out and power switch it’s all quite straightforward as you’d expect for a product of this type.
I’ve not used the previous model but this one is said to have a larger battery and capable of 3 hours of playback. What’s the verdict? For the most part it’s a good little player the screen is quite good in clarity and with respectable viewing angles (side to side is good less so top to bottom but can’t complain much) multi angle is a nice feature you can twist the screen around and lay it flat or at an angle. Sound was a bit weedy but I dived into the menu and tweaked the settings and managed to get much better output it’s not going to blow you away but it’s good enough to hear fairly clearly (odd that out of the box it’s very quiet the maker should look at the factory defaults on this) for music I’d use the headphone socket… this can be hooked up to speakers if you want a portable CD player.
Playback was smooth with little drive noise or vibration it did a nice job on this with anti shock preventing car bumps from skipping (seems to have 2-3 seconds of shock resistance should work fine for most cars bar a Land Rover off road). The included “games” are very much retro “80’s” in appearance and the control pad is a nice idea though a little spongey it works by plugging it into the rear USB port it’s not a bad add on to have for smaller kids but not a major feature of the player I can’t see it getting a lot of use (games are not going to stack up well v modern ones)
Due to the larger screen it’s not a small player by any means and the market might be declining for portable DVD players; I still see some use for them even with tablets being so popular. As this can be used as a media card reader you can load up music and films onto a card or USB stick it’s quite flexible you can’t really fault the maker for trying they’ve shoved quite a lot in here to broaden the appeal more. Aside from the manual I’d like to see a somewhat longer car charging lead (just about long enough to reach a back seat an extra 30-45cm would be nice) some might prefer rotary dials for volume/screen adjustments this is menu driven. Nit picks aside (build feels reasonable enough light but not flimsy) it’s a nice little player that does the intended job quite well and the price is attractive too. It’s certainly a lot better than the budget portable player I bought 4-5 years ago and can be recommended.
