Audiovox’s affordable and portable D1500A features a 5-inch, 4:3 aspect ratio LCD and compatibility with DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded discs. Take favorite movies and music on the plane, on the bus, or even in the car for the kids–a supplied adapter lets you power the unit right from a dashboard cigarette lighter. The unit also includes a remote control for hassle-free operation in tight quarters. Composite-video and stereo analog-audio inputs and outputs let you hook the player up to other audio/video gear for viewing on a TV or–as with video games–through the D1500A’s own screen. All audio and video inputs and outputs are of the minijack .125-inch size, so compatible adapter cables are required (one stereo analog audio and one composite-video cable are supplied). The supplied rechargeable NiMH batteries provide up to three hours of playback (power consumption depends on the operations of the player, such as screen brightness, volume level, etc). The battery pack features high storage capacity and low susceptibility to degradation, as the NiMH batteries don’t have a “memory effect,” making it safe to recharge them irrespective of whether they’re fully or only partially spent. Generally, the batteries need about five hours for complete charging. Playback options include frame-by -frame slow motion, zoom, and multiple angle viewing (with applicable discs). Headphones are not included. What’s in the Box DVD player, remote control, user’s manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, AC power adapter, DC cigarette-lighter adapter, rechargeable battery.
Audiovox 5″ Portable DVD player allows you to watch DVD’s wherever you are. Perfect for use in the car, at a hotel, or on a plane. 3 hour battery , audio/video cables and cigarette lighter adapater are all included.

Two and a half years of daily use without a single problem
We bought this for our kids to use on road trips, but shortly after purchasing it, started using it as our main DVD player when our original home cheapo DVD player broke.

“Junk” … guess that is why it is discontinued
I bought this Audiovox Model D1500A a little over (4) months ago, and it has now taken a giant “dump !

I agree….do NOT purchase this unit!
I don’t think I’ll buy any more Audiovox products at all. I’ve now — at my error — purchased 2 Audiovox portable DVD players in the last year alone.

Makes Me Angry
This DVD player was the best thing in my life until it broke. I can’t read my disks. I have put all of my DVDs in there and it just couln’t read them.

BEWARE of buying from Audiovox
I’ve had a terrible experience with Audiovox. We received this as a wedding gift off our Amazon registry. The screen blinked an hour into the DVD.

Technical problem
I used it twice,then after the 1 year warranty expired it died. The repair quote from the manuf. was $100.25 with shipping. Why bother.

Technical Review
Okay, seeing that many of the reviews were complaints with little to no useful technical information, I thought I’d try something a bit more ‘formal’.

Small and well-built portable multi-region DVD player
The Audiovox does NOT have a widescreen-LCD which seems like a disadvantage, but may not matter at this size.

DVD player had serious tech problem after 1 year and 1 month
I bought this unit in March 2004. In April 2005 our family went to use it and a message came up wrong region with Region 1 movies(I live in the USA).
