Customer Review

Video at Amazon.com Please note: DBPower DVD player is offered in different colors and different sizes. Technically, the devices are identical and differ only in appearance and screen size (7.5 or 9.5 inches).

The extent to which it is currently still makes sense to buy a small portable DVD player, each user should advance answer itself. Android Tablets entry level have fallen in your price levels such that their purchase possibly a real alternative. Conversely, the devices are naturally more sensitive than a hard plastic bombers of this type, because there is also unwary children hands broken relatively little. And sensitive data and documents not save this DVD player of course and can if necessary also once unobserved at the lake linger because of damage in case of theft is very limited.

The player itself is relatively simple processes. Unfolded is similar to a laptop, but the quality of the individual components is appropriate to the sale price. The device is a little thick, but surprisingly light. The door between the screen and the lower operating element is surprisingly robust, the TFT element can be completely folded to the back side and are simultaneously rotated by 180 °. The playfulness are hardly any limits, at the same time accidental cancel almost excluded.

I will confine myself to the pure DVD mode and thus on the fundamental property of DBPower, handling and operation is simple. Pickled Films are detected immediately and started some independently. The advantage of Asian commodity is not to be underestimated here, because the player turns out to be omnivorous, so also with your own burned CDs, DVDs and media formats contained therein as DIVX, AVI, MP3 no difficulties. The playback operation is solid, easily shaken or be compensated, to cause no interference. Sound and image correspond to the price range, ie Full HD friends and audiophile enjoyment people turn away in horror, while the average Joe citizen takes this good performance pleased to note. Conclusion: Main discipline successfully passed.

The value and the actual benefit of accessories and many other integrated Gimmicks & Gadgets is, on the other hand to assess hardly conclusive. More is better, but also overwhelmed with pleasure. Because by now, the operation sometimes a bit cumbersome and far less innovative. Clear weak point - the accompanying manual is very detailed, but unfortunately only in English. And a complete handling of all functions by now also only with the aid of the supplied, and very weak reception, remote control possible.

While I and the reader installed USB input can still abgewinnen real practical benefits to areas FM radio, the integrated SD / MMC card, "300 Super Game" function incl. Mini joystick annoys a lot more than it helps. Even for me, as hard-core supporters of C64 quite old school, the games are barely usable, let alone linked playable in any form or with fun. For this I fail, in spite of connected mini-antenna to the reception of a television signal, while I still have not understood the advertised Copy function of the DVD player to date.

The battery power of the player pulls out no trees, but is still acceptable. Sometime between one and two hours is reached the end of the road on a regular basis, then either recharged via AC outlet or car adapter. Unfortunately, the cable for the cigarette lighter is down extremely short, so the sound of the kids no longer in the backseat during charging. At least then, if you are limited to the adapter of the delivery. Much more annoying - the battery is permanently installed and the unit case for the worn if it fails.

Conclusion: Perfect the mobile DVD player manufacturer DB Power is not. But he convinced with a good (playback) performance in the fields of film and music, while the other extras meet only the sense of an exuberant product description and are only partially helpful in everyday life. The price - for both the 7.5 inches, as well as the 9.5-inch version - on the other hand is a challenge to the competition and glossed over the one - or other weakness in the overall concept. What remains is a faithful companion during long holiday trips in the car and a colorful toy box for big & small children, with a lot of surprise.

PS The player's screen is coated with a protective film, a small visible demolition is located in the upper left-corner. The film can be removed without hesitation, I thought in the first moment, I prefer the TFT display from its moorings.
