car dual screen dvd player

wal-mart sells the durabrand dual screen dvd player and the polaroid dvd player. i am trying to find out if durabrand is a good brand name or should i stick with polaroid. the durabrand has a lcd-tft screen which is better than the polaroid lcd screen, but is that enough reason to choose it?

No, I'm pretty sure Durabrand is Wal-mart's store brand or something. I've never bought a Durabrand product, but they are all very cheap, so I doubt they are a high quality brand. Polaroid is a brand you can trust.

Thank You Joel for taking the time to do this product review on his one amp; only day off from work :) Philips - 9quot; Widescreen Portable DVD ...

I am especially interested in 1) sound quality 2) screen quality and 3) ease with which dvds can be changed/loaded while driving. This is for two kids in backseat so it would need a headrest harness.

There are lots of models out there, and usually very cheap.

Might I suggest getting a model that allows for input and output and not strictly for the Car. You'll need a coupler but will be able to use these elsewhere and have the ability to have games systems or two different movies on them, but this will be a question as far as age ( since these will not have a headrest harness per say). You will need to look at good headphones or a RF modulator or mini cable or tape adapter (depending on the car).

If you gave just a little more detail i would feel better about a recommendation.

The Philips Portable DVD player is compatible with most DVD and CD discs available in the market. DVD, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, (S)VCD, and CD - all of them can play on the DVD player
It comes with convenient in-car accessories to enhance your movie enjoyment on the road. A car adaptor allows you to power your portable DVD player using the cigarette charger
Dual screens allow you to display same videos or images from the portable DVD players. Simply plug in and mount the screens on the headrests in your car.
The DVD-Video player remembers where you have finish viewing a DVD and continue playing from the exact scene where you stopped watching even after a power failure.
The color LCD display brings images to life, showing off your treasured photos, favorite movies and music with the same 'real life' rich detail and vibrant colors as high quality prints.

The main screen has a separate digital out and av in hole in addition to these three to connect to the second screen-DC out, IR link, AV out. The second screen has only av in ir link, dc in-all which connect to the first screen. The player came with an av cable, one side connects to the main screen digital out. The other end has 3-red,yellow,white-but they can't connect to PS2-is this where I need a separate adapter? If so, what? I'll bet Radio Shack will have what I need, they always do! Thanks so much in advance. I am travelling with two little boys this weekend and this will save my sanity on the long car-ride if one can watch a movie and the other can play a game!!!! Then they won't fight (or maybe not as much:)...).

the red, yellow, and white should be able to connect to the ps2 using the ordinary av cable
if you have some sort of strange ps2 cable, get something like this

you might also need this, which allows the ps2 to draw power from the car

Does anyone know where I can find a dual screen portable DVD player with battery? Our current one stopped working and I cannot find one with a battery for the main screen anywhere. We like to bring the main screen on airplanes with us which is why we need the battery.

Here is a link to an example of a dual screen portable DVD player:

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Element-7 -Dual-Screen-Portable-DVD-Player-E750-DP D/sem/rpsm/oid/180352/catOid/-12874/rpem /ccd/productDetail.do

This one does not have a battery on the main unit. It needs to be plugged in at all times (wall outlet or in the car). 95% of the time that would be okay, but on occasion we would like to be able to just take the main unit on an airplane and use it.

Thanks!

I saw your previous question a few days ago and I have not seen anything like what you want.

You may be in one of those fall off places where the device doesn't have enough market demand for what you want. But I think I have a solution.

I do think that you could find two portable DVDs that include a video out on one and a video in on the other and with a little creative wiring get what you want.

You will need two of the following players to do this and a RCA coupler set. Connect the included mini jack to RCA cable on the player with the DVD to its av out. hook the other mini to the other players input and use the coupler to hook them together.

Make sure to use headphones for best sound.

We are looking to buy one for our car and are not sure what is the best kind to get for a reasonable price. We don't want one that is too cheap and that will break in the first year, but we also don't want to sell the family jewels :)

we have had 2 different types neither have lasted like they should. First we had one that was 2 screens and dvdplayer was on floor and was seperate that one was broke in a little over a year (movies would stop playing cause it claimed it was opened when closed) right now we have the disney set it is just about to be trash also it has lasted less than a year the screen the dvd player goes in can no longer hang on the seat or it says it is open and movie will not play so it has to sit on ground and we have the other screen plugged in both cost around 200$ they are more work if you want it to last forever i woudl suggest you always remove it from your car in hot or cold weather because i thinks thats why they break....honestly i think they are all junk but the ones that are installed in the head rest.....good luck
