Always wanted a nice compact portable dvd player,but these toys are usually too high in price..This player got it right on the money.The player has everything the high price ones have except the BIG screen..(If I wanted that,,I'd get a laptop computer with dvd),,,besides,,it's all about being compact..This player is fun to watch ..The screen is 4 inches but that's what you look for in a portable,,not a suitcase...Picture is clear,,disc does not skip..Where did these Initial guys come from??This is a high quality player for the price.With a pair of Koss 50 clip on or Panasonic RP-HS41 clip on headphones,the sound is unreal.
