With Initial’s slender, compact DVD-9510 portable DVD player you can watch DVD movies, listen to favorite MP3 CDs, and even watch slideshows of digital photography–all while you’re in your home or out and about. The DVD-9510 features an 4-inch widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) thin-film-resistor LCD, and compatibility with JPEG and Kodak Picture CDs, as well as HDCD-encoded CDs. Commercial CDs encoded with High-Definition Compatible Digital technology number in the thousands and play on any CD or DVD player, but players with HDCD decoding chips derive an extra measure of low-level resolution from these discs. The player also offers built-in stereo speakers for headphones-free listening. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player’s digital-audio output (through a .125-inch minijack-to-RCA coaxial digital-audio cable, not supplied) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The player is firmware upgradeable to accommodate future formats, and it comes with built-in anti-shock technology to help maintain smooth playback when you’re on the go. A composite-video output simplifies hookup with most TVs. Playback options include frame-by -frame slow motion, 2x and 4x zoom, screen saver/power-saving function, CD programming, parental locking, and multiple-angle viewing (with applicable discs). Supplied accessories include an AC adapter, rechargeable battery, user’s manual, and a remote control. Headphones are not included.
CONSUMER ALERT: This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after February 17, 2009 to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the U.S.’s transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

Disappointing
Try a more popular brand with accessories that can be easily replaced from your local electronic store.

Not very robust
I purchased this DVD player at Walmart… Almost immediately it began to fail. The DVD would play, but the backlight on the TFT display would fail to illuminate the screen.

Don’t put your money in the trash can

Frustrating and not worth the money.
I bought this less than a year ago and I’ve been trying to take it back ever since. I’ve sent several e-mail messages to the manufacturer and they have never responded.

Great product for the price
