DBPOWER 12" Portable DVD Player with 5-Hour Rechargeable Battery, 10" Swivel Display Screen and SD/USB Port, with 1.8m Car Charger, Power Adaptor and Car Headrest Mount, Region Free (Black)

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

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.

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.

This product is very well made and extremely easy to use! I have just recently been in and out of the emergency room several times and it was a lifesaver! I have great-grandchildren grandchildren and children down with the flu And I was the first one to get sick. I cannot tell you what a pleasure this product is When you are staring at the wall with active children around you. The picture quality is excellent. It is so easy to use my 6 year old great grandson was turning it on and under my supervision doing basic operations. It comes complete with all cabling and everything you need. Thank God it was even pre-charged. We have literally spent hours watching excellent quality for a very reasonable price. Nurses and other mothers were asking what it was and where they could get it. I of course told them. It hooks up very easily To a large television set with a simple cable that comes with it. So I was able to watch ito my chest, in the car and When I got home, on my large television. Customer service could not be better and they are very pleasant. If you have a college student or Other person with limited space, this is an excellent gift. I would definitely buy more in the future and highly recommend It for value and quality.

This is what I originally wrote. I’m going to start this by stating I was never asked for a good rating by anyone for anything by purchasing this unit. I actually purchased this same DVD player in Jan 2020. It just stopped working Nov 2021. The machinery was so loud in the first player from day 1. Not the case with this one. It’s really quiet. Perhaps my first Dbpower player was defective. The sound on my first unit was not quite loud enough. I typically played it on max volume. Not this unit. The sound playing from the dvd is actually loud. I’m not listening to it turned all the way up. I cannot comment on the battery life. I have charged it completely prior to using the unit. I typically watch the DVD player plugged in. The picture is very good. The picture was very good on my first unit. While I was disappointed in the product I purchased in Jan 2020, I wasn’t happy reading reviews from people saying they were offered free stuff for a 5 star review while looking for a replacement machine. I decided to purchase from the company I had previously bought from. I am more than pleasantly surprised. Additionally, the unit I purchased has a white top and white surface where the controls and dvd door are located. Turns out this is really nice. The buttons are labeled in black. It makes reading what you are pressing so much easier than an all black unit. The remote is identical to the one I had before. There are many buttons on that remote. Batteries are included for the remote. The box that came with the unit included the wall charger, cigarette charger and rca cables to hook up to a television. The box with the unit also included what I am guessing is for hanging the player on a seat in a car. Not relevant to me but that was one of the “free” items listed in reviews of other companies for the 5 star review. While I hope this unit lasts longer than the first one I purchased, I’m already happy with a quiet machine that plays dvds well. So far, so good. But, I have had this for less than 24 hours. UPDATE: Each unit lasts approximately 7 months. I reached out to the company by email. I had purchased 3 of their units, 1 each year. They replied immediately. They asked for pictures and videos of the problem. I sent that. I was told I would be receiving a replacement unit. I was pleasantly surprised. That’s where things went downhill. I asked for a tracking number. Not getting one. I waited 60 days. I called the support number. Answered promptly. The lady was lovely. She told me I would be hearing from someone about this. Never did hear from they. They lied to me in writing and on the phone. My husband always said “business should be conducted honestly and ethically.” Would you do business with a bank that lied to you? If not, why would you give your money to a company that lies? Here are the facts as I experienced. The 3 dbpower DVD players I bought lasted approximately 7 months each. DBPower does not stand behind their product. They lied to me. I am going to assume I am not the only person they lied to. I would suggest you not waste your money on their product. I will be replacing my third DBPower unit from another company.

THIS DVD PLAYER IS A NEWER VERSION OF THE ONE i PURCHASED EARLIER. IT IS OF PERFECT SIZE, COMPACT, EASY TO TRANSPORT, HAS HEAD REST HOLDER, AND REMOTE INCLUDED. THE IMPROVED VERSION IS DEFINITELY A STEP UP, AND MY OLD ONE LASTED ME AND WAS VERY USEFUL-AREAL WORK-HORSE!

I wanted to give this product 5 stars, but I have one big complaint. When you turn on this player, the volume defaults to a loud setting. Every single time I have to rush to turn it down due to sensory issues experienced by the user. It's like getting in the car on a Sunday morning after partying Saturday night with the sound blasting. Really wrecks my Zen. Otherwise, good battery life, clear picture, quiet motor, really a great little player!
