Very Disappointing

I bought this unit for my wife and we are very disappointed. For one thing this does not have the resume feature. That means that when you are watching a movie and have to turn it off, when you power up again it does not remember where you were in the film. This feature is greatly missed.
The other problems are that the screen occassionally goes black and/or the picture freezes. The only way to fix this is to power the unit off and restart it. This, of course, wouldn't be so bad if it just had the resume feature...

Decent DVD player, but spend a little extra and get better ones.

I got it for my 18 mon old, to use on a long plane journey to India, along with an extra battery. The player looks nice, isn't too bulky, and reasonably sturdy. However, it is slow (press next chapter for a DVD, and it takes considerably longer than a regular DVD player). Battery life is enough for one movie. It doesn't have dual headphone jacks, nor does it have FF/REW/SUBTITLE buttons on the unit itself, need to use remote for that. Swivel feature is cool. Doesn't come with a decent bag. The remote doesn't have volume control (no big deal though). I also had it freeze the picture (audio kept playing) on multiple occasions mid-movie, and had to do a little rewind/fast forward (whose buttons aren't on the unit) to get it moving again.

All in all, a decent inexpensive portable DVD player.
