Used to love the product but hate the customer service........2006-12-07

I purchased this DVD about 2 years ago for my daughter to use in the car for long trips. I must admit that I love this product--picture was good, the sound was good, very portabele especially with the slim battery pack that attaches to the botton of the DVD player and it seldoms skips even with hard bumps or driving over frost heaves or holding it uneven. During daylight, it is harder to see the screen (not sure if the other brands will do any better). The really great thing for us is that this DVD was multi-regional. Because of that feature I had purchased 2 more Audiobox D1708 portable players for friends--which is not as sleek looking as the D1705, especially since battery goes on the back of the player. At this point, the 3 Audiobox DVDs that I have purchased were all multi-regional.

Lately after 2 years, the D1705 is no longer working right. The screen will momentarily work perfect then it will go off, then it might work perfect again after 5 mins. Although the unit is still usable as a DVD player if plugged into a regular TV monitor. So, to replace this malfunctioning unit, I purchased a D1708 (I didn't know at that time that the D1705 were still available)--however, to my horror, it is NO LONGER MULTI-REGIONAL!!! I called Audiobox to inquire if they just started limiting the DVD's to Region 1--and much like the other customers, I had a really bad experience with the Audiovox customer service--very rude and accusatory. The person that I spoke to accused me of tampering the units to make them multi-regional because she said that Audiovox only makes Region 1 DVD players (I did wish I were smart enough to tell her right off that I would not have bothered calling them if I already knew how to change the unit I just returned to a multiregional player). Now that I know that these D1705 still exists, I would have liked to replace my malfunctioning unit with this one since the battery pack we have still works for 3 hours (knock on wood)--the spare battery would be great on long plane rides. But now I am hesitant to support Audiovox anymore and if they stop selling multi-regional players--then they really don't have my business anymore. Besides, I don't really know if these portable DVD players could possibly have a longer life than 2 years.

Dead battery.......2006-05-19

My unit works only plugged, so the battery is dead. Now I have to either get a replacement batery or buy a new unit (certainly not an Audiovox). Even when the battery worked, the recharging time was around 8 hours, so it was good for one movie. I am thinking on Panasonic as reviews in general are good.

Good performance, bad battery, awful customer service.......2005-12-21

I have the private-labeled "Eddie Bauer" version of this unit and it plays exactly 5 minutes on battery. Once private labeled, no one, including Audiovox, has any information on the unit so that I can replace the battery. Customer service at Audiovox is atrocious; consequently I will avoid their products at all costs in the future. I think the unit was shipped with an alkaline battery, notorious for developing discharge memory. Replacing with a high amp-hour lithium ion battery will eliminate this problem... assuming I can figure out which battery fits the unit. Truly, companies like Audiovox are subscribing to the throw-away economy where products are assumed to be obsolete immediately on release and little is done to take care of customers down the road. Too bad.

This is an awsome DVD player that every one should own.......2005-05-17

I have another DVD player but this one is so much better. This one has long battery, can play any type of DVD (not kiding). Its plug has a converter built into it so all you need to do is hook it up with a adapter and any where in the world it will work. I have droped it more than once and let me tell you it works the same as it worked before. One problem would be that it gets scratched up esaily but can live for a long time. :) :D

Great product ... when it works.......2005-02-23

Great poduct, when it woks. I'm currently on my 4th unit in the last month (First 2 were the D1705 model and the next 2 were the D1708 model).

First off, picture is great. That's why I keep trying to find one that actually works. Very sharp and good color.

Sound isn't bad, but it's alot better on the D1708 unit since they added another pair of speakers on the screen and a second headphone jack. The D1708 though does have a plastic case and is bulkier, but the better sound makes up for it.

Now, on to the problems that I've had. First unit would skip. Second one had a battery with a 1 hour life. Third unit would freeze on me.

After returning it the last time, I almost switched to a Toshiba unit, but the Audiovox is such a nice unit ... when it works. Plus the store I bought it at offered a 4 year warranty for $20 ... so it's up them to keep it working.

Dont expect too much.......2006-02-20

This DVD player is great for its low price but dont expect to get too much out of it. It runs nicely with new movies, but as soon as there are a couple of scratches on the DVD, the player starts to skip and sometimes even refuses to play. No matter how many times you try to start it up again or try again it just doesnt work. Another problem is if you watch one movie right after another, then the player just wont play the second movie. Overall, if you plan to use it sporadically its a nice cheap buy, but if you want to use a DVD player extensively youre better off spending the extra money to buy a better DVD player from a more respectable company

Very pleased.......2004-04-10

I bought it for the price and must admit I was pleasently surprised by its performance. It has been working flawlessly and its data extraction speed is amazing. I also bought a CDRW from the same company and they work fine together. Installtion was a snap.
I highly recommend it.

You get what you pay for..........2004-02-14

I used to think that all DVD drives were basically the same. So when I needed a new one for my computer, I simply bought the cheapest one I could find: this model. As it turns out, not all DVD-ROM hardware is created equal. I noticed immediately that this one is quite a bit louder than most that I've come across; it frequently sounds as if I have a powerful fan running in my room. Also, its performance has rapidly deteriorated. The poor thing has trouble with even the cleanest of discs. Frequently when I watch movies on my computer, the sound will cut out and the image will skip while the drive makes noises like a chainsaw in the distance. Occasionally, it will stop spinning the disc altogether, wait a few seconds, and then take a second try. The company website is practically vacant and offers no online support. It's been nine months since I bought this drive, and while I could invoke the warranty, I have no desire to. I'd rather pay for a better product than be saddled with another one of these lemons. I would strongly recommend spending the extra five or ten dollars to get a product from a respected company.

Affordable and easy to use, Avion's AV-DVR100 puts the world of DVD recording at your fingertips--a great way to time shift your TV viewing, save your favorite programs, and archive your existing library of VHS tapes and home videos. The player/recorder's built-in NTSC broadcast tuner lets you record right off the air. Convenient front-panel audio/video inputs include S-video and i.Link (IEEE 1394/DV) connections for your camcorder and other components.

As a player, the AV-DVR100 offers compatibility with NTSC or PAL sources (with appropriate media and monitoring), MP3 CD playback for your homemade music mixes. A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent audio, four external input sets, TV tuner, likely an orphan product.......2005-11-22

Compared to its features, the Avion DVR100 is dirt cheap. However, I believe it is also likely to be an orphan product:
The Avioncorp domain name now belongs to Maxgroup. The original Avion seems to have disappeared after the AviAn flu appeared.

For me, the DVR100 was a bargain at the lower price I paid, even if I don't expect to use the DVD recording feature that often. I can typically record things using my computer DVD recorder just as easily.

The DVR100 has both s-video and component video outputs and two sets of analog RCA phono jack audio outputs. While the description states that it has both coax and optical digital outputs, mine only had a coax digital output (which is unfortunate since my receiver only has an optical digital input.) The sound quality, however, was excellent especially for MP3 CD/DVDs - better than any other DVD player I've tried.

A key feature, the reason why I bought it, is the internal high quality TV tuner. I have a 32" Samsung TV with a tuner that simply stopped working ten days after the short 90 day Samsung warranty. I used a Toshiba VCR's tuner as a temporary fix. The Avion DVR100's TV tuner, however, is far better than both the original Samsung TV tuner or the Toshiba VCR tuner.

The other great feature is the number of video inputs - (1) component video (2) s-video/composite (3) front panel s-video/composite (4) front panel firewire/1394 4-pin (camcorder or notebook).

This greatly simplified my wiring to my TV and receiver. My Pinnacle Showcenter goes into the component video inputs. My jWin Karaoke DVD player goes into the rear s-video input. I have an X-box connect to the front s-video input. I haven't tried the firewire input yet but it is nice to have it available.

All this means I can have all my video go into a single component input set on my TV and all my audio connect from the DVR100 audio output into my receiver. The DVR100 becomes the central control unit instead of my receiver.

The DVR100 menu system is fairly basic and probably not as well organized as it should be. The manual is not indexed and also could be better. (It took quite a while trying to figure out how to view all those EXTERNAL inputs - press 0 [menu] and then cursor down. You press the "monitor" key to flip back and forth between DVD functions and TV/external functions.)

When I first hooked up my Pinnacle ShowCenter component outputs to the DVR100 component inputs, the "red" color wasn't working. I found that I had to go into the ShowCenter to switch to "component output" instead of "normal" video output. It worked fine after that. An external DVD player may also require some small menu change like this.

The DVR100 does not play AVI or DIVX discs. It will play VCD MPEG discs although "computer-made" MPEG conversions of DIVX/XVID files are hit and miss. The jWin (your best cheap DVD player) had far better success with these files.

Unlike my under $50 jWin DVD player, the DVR100 plays only MP3 sound files, not WMA. The DVR100 displays much more complete information about each MP3 file than the jWin, but navigation to find files (especially with directories) is not too good. The, sound quality, however, is truly excellent.

The remote control is laid out well and the buttons are a good size. Even so, I won't use it much. I prefer to cram as many functions as possible from the TV, DVR, DVD, Showcenter, and Receiver on my Sony VL710 "learning" remote control.

BOTTOM LINE: a likely orphaned product a little rough around the edges but with high quality output and a number of very worthwhile features. For me, the recording capability is just an added plus.

Inexpensive yet serves it's purpose.......2005-07-19

This DVR is great for the cost. It is pretty easy to set up & use. Don't set the DVR for Progressive, most TV's are not & you are stuck with sound & no picture. Tech support via e-mail is helpful but just call to get quick friendly service. I still have lots to learn.

Great product, terrible instruction manual........2005-05-09

The unit performs very well. The instruction manual is almost useless. No feature can be accomplished from the page it is featured on, you have to "fish" the entire manual for the missing parts of the puzzle. There is no glossery, so again, fish the entire manual for critical information.
Having said that, the recordings are great and play in every dvd unit I have. Nick G Austin Texas

Avion DVR 100 DVD Recorder.......2005-03-22

I have owned several DVD recorder's but each one has its ups/downs.
This however, is the first to perform in many areas with success.
The Avion AV-DVR100 has both component (B/G/R/Y/W)- In & Out! By having such, it's great for even more crisper, cleaner recordings.

This unit also recognized EVERY blank media I placed into it, without "Disc ERROR", there is one tricky part when viewing...the
fast forward button and reverse button serves as both "next chapter" and when pressed multiple times..FFD X 4, 8, etc.

There are a few places besides Amazon that sell this excellentStandalone DVD recorder, Aiyamicro.com $ 174.76 total and ACTBUY.com for $ 149.00 total. (Shipping included)

For the price, the quality and no disc errors, this machine has thus far, out performed all other stand alones.
Features:
Digital to Digital Camcorder input (front)
S-Video and Composite Inputs (Front)
Full Remote with easy to find buttons (clearly marked)
Rear outputs and inputs are many (more than other models at this price by far)

The processor TV tuner is much clearer, has a choice of vivid contrast or black . There is much sharper images while recording and especially play back.

DVD+RW disc's do not always perform well on all DVDR Stand alone
systems, this does exceptionally well. After a disc is finished
recording, press the "STOP" button to eject the disc, then press
the number 2 (like Philips DVD recorders) and allow the disc to
return inside, while continuing to press "2" you have made this
RW disc playable on most other DVD players.

Hands down, this machine has the best picuture, rare component in and outputs, captures 720 lines of resolution on the 1 hour mode.
A great price for a solid machine.

Died within five months - SAVE YOUR MONEY.......2006-05-21

After only five months, it just up and quit one day. The disk indicator light that flashes when my system is powered up does nothing now and the tray no longer opens (but the power light is on). It has not moved from the location it was originally placed, so I've no clue what the cause of death is. I now question the quality of BUSlink products and will not consider them again when purchasing in the future.

died after one year.......2005-12-05

What a disappointment! While it worked, it sometimes was difficult to get the disc holder to eject and now, after a year's time, it just up and died with no warning. It sat safely on a shelf next to my computer- was not moved around- and one day when it wouldn't turn on I picked it up to check the cord connections and could hear the sound of parts rolling around on the inside. Yikes! Wish I'd gone with a better brand from the start.

Breaks down over brief time.......2005-10-19

I received one at christmas time and it broke. Luckily, the store warranty is extended over the holidays and I was able to get it replaced. After a few weeks, the new one broke down in the same way! And too late for the store warranty, and the company doesn't give any kind of warranty. I would NEVER buy this product or ANY product from buslink again.

Works Well For Me.......2004-12-07

Wow... Had I read these reviews prior to purchasing this external cd r/w drive, I probably would have avoided it. But I personally haven't had any problems with the one I bought two months ago. I found the installation to be very easy, and was burning CDs from my laptop within five minutes. Included with my drive was a USB cable, Nero SmartStart 6.0, and the CD R/W driver. I have XP on my laptop, so I didn't have to install the driver. I just plugged in the USB to the R/W driver, hooked it into my laptop, and the system recognized it. That's all it took. Within a few minutes, I was burning data to a CD-R.

The Pros -- Fast (up to 52X), quick and easy installation, and... well, it works.
The Cons -- Rather bulky and somewhat noisy.

I can overlook the cons I mentioned above, as this external burner is exactly what I need -- a fairly inexpensive burner that was easy to set up and does the job quickly. That's all I can ask for. I hope I don't run into the problems these other reviewers have had... so far, so good.

Worked for 2 days then croaked.......2004-04-05

This review applies to the Buslink 2.0 CD-RW which is no longer available, so I can't write a review for it. the UII appears to be a newer version. You can take this review with a grain of salt for that reason, but I know I will never buy a Buslink product again.

I bought this one for about $90 at Compusa. I got it up and running pretty easily, but it stopped recognizing media when inserted after a couple of days. I returned it to Buslink after a couple of months (in the meantime, life being busy, I had simply continued to use my zip drive for back up and just did without burning cds for other reasons.) They supposedly fixed it, but I was still extremely busy when i got it back and didn't try to hook it up for about 4 months. When I finally did, the media door wouldn't open. Yes, I admit it, in a fit of pique, I threw it down, had the satisfaction of ripping the housing off it, and trashed it.

If I had all the time in the world, I suppose I could have sent it back AGAIN. Forget it. I am in the market for a new one, and this time I will look for reviews.
