Audiovox 9" Twin DVD Dual TV - PVS72901

After purchasing the Polaroid 8 inch dual screen model which had horrible screen quality. The Philips 7 inch dual screen model, in which the slave screen had sound but no picture. We decided to give the Audiovox a try. I must say, after seeing how the other two were built, it seems to me that the most thought went into the Audiovox.

- To change the dvd, you press the button and the whole screen tilts down. Simple enough, I must say I am slightly concerned about my kids loading the DVD and pressing down on it, but the design is nice. On the philips, you had to open the velcro that mounted the hardware to the headrest to change the DVD, so this is definately better.
- The tilt screen is a nice addition to adjust for height.
- Screen quality is nice. Not awe inspiring, but for the price it is very reasonable quality for watching movies. I do like the large screen size.

- I will agree that the volume is a bit low, but works fine in a quiet vehicle.
- Some people have complained that this unit does not come with an AC adapter. While this is true, it is quite obvious by looking at the player that it is designed to be mounted to the headrest of a car.
- I would have liked a longer composite cable to string between the two units to better conceal the wires, but am content with what was provided in the box.

Overall, I feel that this was a good buy. Audiovox paid attention to detail and made the unit simple to install and use. I do like that they focussed their attention on the DVD player and not a lot of add-ons.

I bought this few days ago from Target, mainly because it is on sales and for a price of USD199 for 2 individual 9" DVD players with seperate control, this is a great buy! (Org price was USD259.99)

Good:
Sharp image, adjustable brightness and angle is a PLUS!
Easy to operate and fit on to the headrest.
cable is long enough.
1 power point can operate with 2 player and watch different movies at the same time!
Soild build.
Works well with my Old TV


Bad:
The sound is little disappointing if you have a noise car or there are many kids talking while movies is on.
The unit is slight heavy and slide down even thoug unit is tightly velcro on the headrest.
Does not come with AC adapter and headset.
Recycle bag, does not provide protection for the player.


Solution:
Weak sound - No problem for me as I have a quiet car but still i bought a cheap headphone from walmart, cost me only USD7.00 and it is great!
No AC adapter - Again I purchased the universal AC adapter from walmart for only USD 16.00, adjust the Voltage to 12V and it works well!
For the bag, another again, I brought 2 individual padded pouch from walmart to protect the screens and use it with the bag.. another simple but effective way.

Overall I am happy with my purchase. I will update the review after months of usage.

I bought this product at the local target for $269 + tax.
The plan was simple: provide videos from my iPod to my kids sitting in the 2nd and 3rd row of the car.
The primary unit only has AV out while the second unit only has AV in.
This makes sense if you want to watch DVDs but it also means you can't plug video games or ipod for videos on both units. The cable to link the primary unit to the secondary is also barely long enough to link both units when installed on the first row head rests. If you add to this that my original plan was to go from first row head rests to second row head rests, this is way too short. Luckily, these units use a standard composite cable which makes it easy to buy an extension.
The monitors are not very bright but the resolution is decent and the size makes up for it.
The deal breaker for me was the sound level: it's totally unacceptable for car use. I even plugged in my noise cancellation headset with an amplifier without much improvement. And I have a brand new ultra quiet SUV.
With that, there's no AC adapter so your only choice is to use it in the car.
I'm returning the units.

I purchased this unit from Target. The video is great,kids can watch two separate movies, etc. but all of that doesn't matter because they can't hear them. Even bought good quality ear phones & there is not enough sound to hear in a moving vehicle.

We easily set the dual device up in our Volkswagen Passat Wagon and it worked just fine when we plugged them in. A tab inside the device broke off when we changed the DVD and the master player would no longer recognize that their was a disk inside. We called customer service and had to wait on hold for over an hour. Even though we had only used the device one time, we were told we had to pack it up and ship it to a repair location--at our expense. No telling how long it would take for the repair either.
