Pros: Good bargain

Cons: Can't think of any

Review: Audiovox D1708 Portable DVD Player with Screen My roommate bought this single-disc portable DVD player a year or so ago for travel but we use it more frequently on the shelf above my Treadmill for occasions when listening to my ...

Pros: good price, worked great while it was working.

Cons: no service in Canada, you pay flat fee(cost price) and they give you another unit.

Review: had this unit for just two years then all of a sudden it won't load the dvd's. CD's play fine. Call up and found out that service is in New York only, not Canada. Tech. support at Audiovox told me its the laser not lined up correctly now and as Dvd's ...

Pros: Can play lots of different kinds of discs. Easy to use. Big screen.

Cons: Didn't work!

The Bottom Line: If you get a good one this is a great deal, but don't be surprised if you need to exchange it a few times to get a usable one.

Review: After reading reviews on LOTS of different portable DVD players, I figured out that I probably had a 50-50 chance of getting a lemon no matter which brand I picked. So when I saw the audiovox 1708 on sale at BJs for 159.99, I thought "what a deal". It ...

Pros: Works great for the first 90 days.

Cons: Only 90-day warranty, guaranteed to break on or after day 90.

Review: Originally purchased this D1708 model in 2005. It stopped playing movies after a year or so. Then they got the same model as a Christmas present in 2006. Just under one year, DVDs don't spin, nothing spins. Two times in a row? Truly a piece of junk. ...

Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive, attractive design

Cons: Not sturdy enough for intended use as a portable DVD player

The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this product because I have had 2 units with different fatal defects within 6 months under normal usage. Perhaps another brand would provide a sturdier product.

Review: I originally purchased this portable DVD player for my daughter's birthday last October - purchased at a local warehouse (Sam's Club). Within 2 weeks, the screen went bad - the DVD would spin but the screen was all snowy. Luckily, I still had my ...
