But it’s brilliant, great size screen, fab volume and picture is really good too.
Remote came with batteries.
Got the blue one which is nice. Great for kids, for people in hospital or homes, in the car or on the move.
I had a quick look through everything the product can do,I have not however put anything into practice as it’s not needed for him.First impressions,great product,easy set up,great large swivel screen,good battery life,volume is ok,could possibly be louder,but perhaps it can be blue toothed to a speaker,I haven’t got that far.Would I recommend,definitely.Price is reasonable I think,I’m pleased with it.
I’m very pleased with the dvd player. It’s brilliant and easy to use and does everything I want it to do, brillia
Good quality for the price. Works exactly as expected. Grandchildren love it. Would certainly recommend i
Really good looking dvd player in a smart eye catching blue. also at a good price. My daughter loves it. Also a decent battery time between charging.
It’s a great little DVD player. The sound could be a bit louder, but for the price it’s excellent. Good battery life and very easy to use. Really pleased with it.
It served its purpose. Given as present to one of my childre
Bought for my mum who is in a Nursing Home. Her eyesight is poor and she cannot see the TV easily. This will be great for her as she can watch her favourite concerts and musicals up very close to see the detail.
The controls are easy to navigate but her dementia is such that she will need me or a carer to put it on for her. I’m not sure that I will bother with the remote as it is a bit fiddly.
The unit appears to work fine but is not the advertised size. Once out of the box it is only 10.5″ not 12.5″ as sold. Even the box it comes in states it is 12.5″ but it is NOT.
Return was organised and full refund received so situation sorted very quickly, very good service so am happy to put up to four stars for tha
It’s small enough and compact enough that she can close the screen down and put it anywhere from in the top of one of her drawers to under her bed when not in use.
Plus it’s light enough to carry around with her in her backpack for when we are travelling.
The screen is really decent quality actually. We were surprised considering the price point.
The sound doesn’t get very loud, which is probably the only real flaw to the system, but it’s loud enough for her to be able to hear, especially when she’s in her bedroom alone watching DVDs.
The remote control is easy to use and seems quite sensitive so you don’t have to worry about being too close to the screen to be able to pause, play, rewind, etc at will.
All in all I think it’s great value for money and we’d consider purchasing another in the future for our younger daughters for when travelling.
Looking at old cine films that had been transferred onto disc’s
This is an early birthday and Christmas present for my stepson he is really pleased with i
This was ideal when travelling and didn’t want to take my laptop.
Works a trea
It’s easy to use, good picture quality etc.. I got him head phones so that he’s not disturbing other patients..
he can turn it off throughout visits and continue watching when they leave.
Exceptional value for money!
Ten stars ! Thank you
This was ideal for a family member who had to stay in hospital.
Picture quality excellent and at a great price , purchased for my granddaughter for a long car journey and it went down a treat .
Pleased with replacement product which is in good working order and pleased with customer services and Manager Arya who has been very helpful
This is our second DVD player we absolutely love it. The picture quality is good and the last memory function is handy to. Our 8 year old son can easily manage it himself as it’s so simple to use. We are happy with this product.
Handy little DVD player for mother in law stuck in hospital. Keeps her entertained and packs away neatly. Remote is a bit too small for aged fingers and eyes.
good picture, all works good, sound not best , just ok, plugged bluetooth transmitter into headphone out, and added bluetooth speaker, solved prob with very little expense,as had both to hand
This was purchased for travelling. It’s great picture and sound quality. Great product.
Great bit of kit,used this while out camping for nine day,watch two films off a single charge,pretty good for the price and really easy to use,even the remote is pain free to use.
Very happy with this, it’s great value for money. Picture and sound quality is very good. It’s slightly noisy when DVD is running but this doesn’t detract from your viewing; for this price, you can’t complain.
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.
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.
DVD player looks good attractive blue colour picture quality is good , very pleased
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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?!
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
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.
