plug and play, easy to connect up, added bonus is that you get an AC adapter and a 12v car adaptor as standard and a carry bag to put it all in.
-
Remote control is next to useless unless you are two inches away from an IR receiver, you cannot have the player on anything other than a perfectly flat surface, ( hard to find in a car ) or else you hear the DVD spinning, which is louder than the speaker volume. the cables are not long enough to enable fitting the player in the boot of a car.

Excellent value for money, reasonable picture and sound quality. Its main use is to keep the kids entertained on long car journeys, although we also used it whilst on holidays for entertainment over the many rainy days we suffered.

Takes AGES to load and some brand new DVD's wouldn't load first time so a lot of time was spent with my m bum in the air out the car making sure it was going to start. I know the cables have to be long so you have more freedom of choice for postioning ut but these were really long and could have done with something holding them together that could maybe adjust the amount hanging down you know the kind of thind that headphones have.

We purchased this item as we specifically wanted a twin screen unit to ease the travelling on our recently holiday to France (our usual one is a single unit). This is a very good unit in terms of size, ease of use/fitting, provision of both UK & euro power leads, sound and price.
-
It fell down in the rating as it does not have any internal battery (unlike our single unit). This was a particular problem when a) we couldn't use it whilst stuck in a stationery traffic jam for an hour with engines off as it was too draining on the battery and b) once we'd run down the 3-4 hr Sat Nav battery we'd have to stop the dvd as we only have one cigarette lighter. When travelling such a long way with 2 young kids this can be quite a big issue.
