Pros: Small, plays tons of stuff, convinient Cons: tiny screen, noisy motor, needs remote to really work well The Bottom Line: If you need a small player, this is great bang for the buck. I bet you can get one for under 100 clams if you check Ebay from Shopping.com We use it almost exclusively in the car for our 4-year old to watch during in-state road trips. It gets used about once every other week. We attach the unit with velcro to a home-make wooden platform that fits the back of the front seat head rest. The unit takes a fair amount of bouncing, and has always performed well. from Amazon.com I live in Germany and my family in the USA, so Amazon is a great place to go for presents for everyone. Less than one year ago, I bought this DVD Player for my sister for her birthday. She has had minor problems with it since the beginning and now the player will not turn on. When she contacted the customer service department, the representative informed her that her problem is quite common and it is typical to just replace the unit. from Amazon.com I just received this player yesterday and I played around with it last night. Picture for such a small screen is not bad. from Amazon.com Bought the Sony 7" TFT DVP-FX701, exchanged it because it was NOISY. Opened the second one, the drive spinning was less noisy - however, the top metal plate (lid/screen)had a flaw-it was chipped. Needless to say turned the unit over and it says: "Made In Korea." I felt like a surprise was in every DVP-FX701 box. from Amazon.com I agree with one of the previous posts. Do not buy an Initial Dvd player. from Amazon.com I hate to say it, but the people who have given this item good reviews haven't owned the player long enough. Initial's build quality is very poor- it is a fact that if you buy a product from Initial, it WILL need service. It is only a matter of time, and, unfortunately, not that much time. from Amazon.com Have owned this DVD player for about a month now and have had no issues with it. Wish the screen was bigger but this portable is great for traveling. from Amazon.com My Model IDM-9520 worked great for about two movies. Now it is all I can do to get thru one movie. from Amazon.com Guess what- it plays mp3's on dvd r's- that's right- not just cd's

This is a very rare thing = only the portable sony dvd-rom does that- and this has a nice little speaker and screen display

it's worth buying just for that
