MY THOUGHTS:

I love having this portable DVD player!  I didn’t think we would use it, but I find that we are using it more and more!  Currently we have cheap DVD players attached in my van, and we have a regular DVD player in our family room, but I have found so many uses for this DVD player.  It is very slim and fits perfectly in my bag so I can bring it with to family functions and I may even bring it with us if we got to a restaurant, with headphones of course!  I purcahsed a portable DVD player about four years ago and it was so cheap feeling and the battery never held a charge.  This Audiovox DVD player built to last and the battery seems to be holding an awesome charge!  I love that it makes it easy to hook up to a TV and it comes with a car adapter.  I took this DVD player right out of the box, plugged it in, and put in a DVD and my son was thrilled to be watching Curious George up in the office with me!  I think I will bring it outside too this summer and we can have a movie night outside.  I am also planning on bringing this on vacation with us to keep my boys occupied!

Overall, I recommend the Audiovox Portable DVD player (Model D1809) for its recharageable battery, built-in speakers, widescreen capability, and option to play DVD, CD and JPEG movies.  It is definitely a much better DVD player than the cheap one I had!  The picture also looks awesome on it!
