I bought this dvd player about 2 years ago and I also bought it with a case so it would be protected...or not. This dvd player is literally made out of garbage. from Amazon.com Like the last reviewer, I do not understand the negative reviews on this product either. The Player is a low-end player, but does the job asked to do (plays DVDs) at a very reasonable price. It has a 4:3 format screen and it is not progressive scan. If you want those features, you're not going to find it at this price point (so stop complaining about them). from Amazon.com The unit has been subject to sticky fingers, spilled juice, several hard knocks, travelling around in a diaper bag--and it's been working great. Only problem is the short battery life: 1.5 hours. Maybe the screen and sound quality could be better, but they are just right for kiddie DVDs. from Amazon.com This is NOT the original format of DVDs. In fact, even the 16:9 ratio is slightly less than the typical DVD movie aspect ratio. I'm sure the people from the Initial Co. gave the product specs to Amazon, so they are the ones getting 1 star from me. from Amazon.com 1. The 5" screen is really small, because it's the conventional 4:3 aspect ratio, while most DVDs are widescreen, so you really lose a lot of details. The Panasonic LS5 also has a 5" screen but is widescreen, so it actually gives you more viewing real estate than this one. from Amazon.com The hinge where the screen meets the base is very weak plastic, and after watching about 8 movies over the course of 3 months on the product it broke. Initial's customer service is a nightmare to deal with. from Amazon.com 1.

We've used it in cars with the supplied cigarette lighter adapter, in planes, and conected to a TV. It plays all DVDs we've tried on it, including DVDs made with our Panasonic DVD recorder (I noticed another reviewer was not able to do this--you've got to finalize DVDs on the Panasonic--a procedure not inuitively obvious since it's buried deep in the manual). from Amazon.com
