Does not have video input!
This product says that it has video input, however it does not! I even called initial and they said it does not. If you dont need it for video input, then it’s a good product.

Good so far
We got this as a Christmas gift. So far it works great. We have not used it lots, but when we have it has great picture and sound. Hopefully it will hold up.

Overall pretty decent after two years’ use and abuse
I bought this DVD player two years ago for both home use (connected to the TV) and for entertaining a preschooler on long flights and car trips.
