Nice little machine. Has run well, good color, good sound quality (although the volume could offer a bit more) Read more

Pros: Picture: Nice quality and resolution both on device screen and via AV cable to TV. Sound: Sufficient on watching through the unit. (Note: When watching using AV cables turn sound to 20 so that output is full and enable full volume adjustment via your TV remote.) Battery: Was able to easily watch an entire movie and listen to a full CD without running out of battery. Remote Control: Lots of buttons so locating what you need may take a little extra time and getting used to but works well. (Note if you pause the DVD or CD the system may hibernate or go to screensaver so the first time you press “play” there will be a slight lag as the device wakes. Pressing play a second time will resume play.) Quality: Device and remote are on par with other similar devices. Unit is light weight and easily portable and comes with home, vehicle power and AV cables. Cons: Remote Control: Audio: When listening to DVD or CD on headphones noticed sound of the machine functioning… a slight tick-tick/whirring in the background. You can really hear it with a CD during silent periods in between songs. I would assume if you listened to an audio book you would hear as well and potentially could be disruptive to listening. Did not notice this when connected via AV cord to TV. (I did not find it to be a distraction as the music or movie did mask the sound many times and once focused on music or movie sounds it was not as prevalent. Some people may find it comes to their audible forefront and could be intolerable.) Other: No USB or SD functionality was tested for this review. Read more

UPDATED 8/9/2018 and Edited original review! I ordered a Bluetooth transmitter and plugged into the headphone jack on the DVD player and was able to successfully pair the DVD to a Bluetooth Speaker which allowed me to have all the volume I needed to listen to movies. After my original review DBPower Customer Service reaches out to me through email and wanted to better understand my review and what they could do to make sure I was completely satisfied with my product! Just this kind of customer service has caused me to change my rating from 3 to 4 stars! With that said, I actually downloaded an app to my phone to measure the decibel level that I was getting from the player. Understand that this was not a calibrated instrument but would give me a general idea of why I had problems hearing the DVD player. I inserted a commercially produced dvd “The Bee Movie” and took sound readings at various points in the movie. The average dB level was 67 which is around normal conversation talking. The inside of a vehicle is around 75 dB and is a good indicator why I had a problem hearing the player through the built in speaker. If you have the ability to connect the audio to your vehicles sound system either through a sound cable or Bluetooth device connected to the player then you could have significant volume for the player. I don’t care to listen to my grandson’s animated movie while traveling so I opted to plug in a set of headphones for his listening pleasure and I can listen to my George Strait CD! Portable player is ok except for one major issue. Speaker volume is not sufficient for use in a vehicle or any place with background noise. Connecting to a TV or using headphones is ok but if you plan on using the built in speaker this is not the player you want. Read more

First off this is my very first portable DVD player, so far I am very satisfied with this product. The picture is very clear definitely HD and looks At least 1080i. The whites and blacks really pop, so look no further this is a steal. The 16:9 and 4:3 ratio such a blessing. I like that you can adjust the hue, saturation, brightness, sharpness, contrast. Also you can even change the audio settings for 2.1 or 5.1. Lets move on to the audio quality, so how does it sound? The speakers have a great emphasis on the highs and no lows, but it sounds great. I don't know yet how it sound with headphones or a external speaker setup. The main reason I bought this was so I could play cds through my Klipsch 2.1 Promedia setup, which I will be buying at the end of the month. I will be updating later to further comment on the quality of that setup. Moreover, lets talk about the build quality. Firstly, it's so light in weight and it looks really good like it has a gloss paint job, I really like the black. The buttons are not to stiff or to Loose. In conclusion this is a great buy in video and audio. Should you buy it I would highly recommend. God bless you! Update I I really love this DVD player, but I encountered a issue when using head phones. There is a background noise when playing movies. Moreover, I called Amazon regarding my problem with the player, so they told me to contact Asurion. They are the company that I bought a 4 year extended warranty from, for I purchased the warranty off Amazon. Asurion assisted me well they told me that they cannot help tell the manufacturer warranty expires. They also told me that Amazon is responsible for the problem since I just bought the item from them less than a week. Furthermore, I contacted Amazon back they refunded me the money and had me return the product. In conclusion this is still one of the greatest purchases of Amazon, so with the refund money I will be buying the product again. I will be updating this review soon. God bless you, for you are truly loved. Update 2 I received my 2nd DVD player and it did the same thing with the sound, for when movies and music have lower volume within the frame work of the sounds, vocals no beackground music. The important thing is how did it sound with my 2.1 Promedia Klipsch THX computer speakers, it's 149.99 it sounded better than the theater. Thank you I will be updating this after a while. Read more
