(More customer reviews)This is a preliminary review, just bought the thing, still learning about it, but here goes:
I bought this for the car, but it makes a great little tv at home, too. The screen is much nicer than my friends OEM dvd player, much bigger.
The speakers plug into the sides, not connected by wires. They snap (not too) easily on/off. The FM modulator is a widget on the lighter plug, and you can set it to a variety of stations to get it to come in. It works just fine. One drawback, the video/audio out (fm modulator) uses the same plugs as the IN, you just switch a switch. So this means you can't run the fm modulator and an input (gamecube) at the same time. But the speakers still work, so gamecube can use the ports as an "in" and the sound can then come out the speakers. Ok, I guess.
The thing comes with straps that allow you to suspend it between two seats in the car. But if the seats are tilted, then the screen is tilted. Audiovox should have done some field testing on this. But it's not a huge deal, you can still see it OK. The IR transmitter for the headphones works pretty well, so long as you have a line of sight from the transmitter to the headphones. Headphones are nice, not chintzy (SP?) at all.
The screen is beautiful, the dvd player seems to work really well. Can't comment on longevity, just bought it. The whole thing comes in a case that does not have room for the headphones, but everything else fits nicely. The unit has a prop stand integral on the back, which we can use in our kitchen. It also has a standard cable input, which made it really easy to hook to our home cable system, there's different "input" settings for cable v tv v auxiliary. Tv works really well, too. There's a standard plug for home use. Car use requires the cigarette lighter.
There's a nice protective cover for it that doubles as the "sling" for the car seat thingy. The speakers can pop right onto this, you can do everything but use the integral prop. SO they give you another one that you can attach to this cover via velcro and it works pretty well. Nice touch.
Oh, and the remote is acceptable as well, nothing SUPER fancy, but functional. You can control the tv and the dvd with it.
Hope that helps!
