Amazon.com Product Description

With Initial's slender, compact DVD-9510 portable DVD player you can watch DVD movies, listen to favorite MP3 CDs, and even watch slideshows of digital photography--all while you're in your home or out and about. The DVD-9510 features an 4-inch widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) thin-film-resistor LCD, and compatibility with JPEG and Kodak Picture CDs, as well as HDCD-encoded CDs. Commercial CDs encoded with High-Definition Compatible Digital technology number in the thousands and play on any CD or DVD player, but players with HDCD decoding chips derive an extra measure of low-level resolution from these discs.

The player also offers built-in stereo speakers for headphones-free listening. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output (through a .125-inch minijack-to-RCA coaxial digital-audio cable, not supplied) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The player is firmware upgradeable to accommodate future formats, and it comes with built-in anti-shock technology to help maintain smooth playback when you're on the go.

A composite-video output simplifies hookup with most TVs. Playback options include frame-by -frame slow motion, 2x and 4x zoom, screen saver/power-saving function, CD programming, parental locking, and multiple-angle viewing (with applicable discs). Supplied accessories include an AC adapter, rechargeable battery, user's manual, and a remote control. Headphones are not included.

Disappointing.......2004-03-17

Try a more popular brand with accessories that can be easily replaced from your local electronic store. Their accessories fail frequently and are expensive to replace through the company, yet the company is the only place to purchase them. I really rate this "0" stars!!

Not very robust.......2004-01-29

I purchased this DVD player at Walmart... Almost immediately it began to fail. The DVD would play, but the backlight on the TFT display would fail to illuminate the screen. If you would tap the display it would come back, but only for a few minutes. I do not recommend this product dispite the price. You will only need to immediately return it or purchase another one

Excellent and versatil.......2003-11-18

This portable DVD is great it not only comes with everything you need (AC Adapter, Car Adapter, Battery), but has a great support of formats and content in both DVD and CD.

First of all it plays all brands of DVD (DVD-R, DVD+R and their +-RW flawors) and CD (CD-R, CD-RW, CD pressed). It can read mp3 saved in CD or DVD (Meaning a whopping 84 hours per disc), it supports a path with more than two levels, reads mpg1 and mpg2 files saved on both types of discs (DVD or CD), supports JPG files (It even have a thumbnail menu), and above all this examples it supports VCD and SVCD (Even multiple audio!!!), so this unit rocks.

I have seen other players with better or bigger screen, but if you ask me, i prefer this because it can even play a guitar (well , no a guitar, but with all it plays the guitar is the only missing), hey, it play even things that my set top doesn't... So if you find it buy it !.

Some People Are Too Picky.......2003-10-20

I have read all reviews and a lot of people have said that the product is bad because of its small screen. Well, the screen size is something you are aware of when you bought it. Even if you bought it online, the screen size is still listed, and you can get a ruler to see how big it would be. So I dont know how you can fault the machine for that. As far as it being pixelated, any small screen is gonna be pixelated unless it is a plasma screen, which would not be cheap. Secondly, many people say the battery is ugly and that it is an external. It is an external battery, true, but an internal battery would cost more and make the machine a lot bigger. While the battery may not make the player win any awards for style, unless you are buying it to show at competition, this really isn't a factor. I dont think your kids in the back seat would say "Daddy, i dont want to watch a movie, the battery is ugly." I have never had trouble playing any DVD's, there have been times a dvd wouldn't play, but it was because the dvd was smudged or had a finger print. All dvd players are finicky, and will not play if that is the case. The sound is very good, for the size of the speakers. I have had no trouble with the battery staying on and it does not feel like it is going to break off. But as with any electronic product, take care of it, if you drop it, it wont last long. As far as the "external cable" that connects the player to the battery, It is a whopping 2 inches long. As far as the power cord not stretching to the back seat, it does fine in my car. Of course it may not do so in a minivan or limousine that is longer, but your average 2 or 4 door you should have no problem. Thats why they dont have a warning label saying "The car adapter cord will not stretch to back seat", because all cars are DIFFERENT! I have had it for about 9 months now, no problems. If you are looking for a portable DVD player, that doesn't cost you a lot of money, this is a great option. If you dont like a small screen, dont get this model, get one with a bigger screen. If you need subtitles, dont even get a portable dvd player because sub titles do not work well on any of them. If your worried about it breaking, buy it at Wal-Mart, they return anything, just keep your reciept.

Poor manufacturing.......2003-10-07

I bought this product almost 1 year ago. It was doing a great job for the first 6 months then I started having problems. I found out that you can not extend the car adapter to the back seat without it messing up the connection. However, that is why I bought it. I think it would be against the law for me to watch TV while I was driving. My kids sit in the back seat and they are the ones going to watch it. Initial needs to state this on their box if it is not intended for that use. It is a good DVD to hook up stationary to the TV but for portable use the battery back is a pain to keep attached. I would reccommend spending your money on a better brand. But research it!

not bad.......2003-03-02

When looking for a portable dvd player i decided that i didn't want to spend more than $...and for my budget this was the best one. The clarity of the screen isn't that great but it is worthy for under $...It plays mp3's really well and the only thing that i can complain about is the internal speakers aren't that great but with headphones it sounds really good. Also when it is used on a tv screen the quality of the picture is spectacular if not great. Overall a great product for under $...but that's just me.

Best priced and quality player for under $200.......2003-03-01

This little baby is outstanding and screen is
good for 4" Whats best for me is that it plays
all and I do mean all my home burned dvd+R and
dvd+rw Discs burned in the "DATA" format(4 movies
per 4.7 blank dvd) in vcd format Awesome!!!and I think their
other 5.8" and 8" models will do the same.
Did I mention it also does jpegs!!

Great DVD plauer for the money.......2003-01-27

I have been looking for a portable dvd player for travel and to double as an in house dvd player, but I would not pay the prices. Then I found this one for 200 dollars! I thought I'll try it, and have not been disappointed yet. The picture is good, not perfect...but for 4inches and the price it works. When hooked to my tv the picture is amazing.

Definitely worth the money, especially with all the accessories.

LOVE IT!!!.......2003-01-09

I got this as a Christmas gift from my father and fell in love with it!!! The sound is great, the picture is great overall it is a great machine for it's price!!!!! So far I have had no problems what so ever!

Cheap, versatile and great compatibility.......2003-01-08

For under $..., I just had to purchase this portable DVD Player. This was a great investment for the long drives over the holiday season. I was highly impressed with the compatibility. For those of you who are familiar with the VCD/SVCD format, know the combatibility woes that are associated with them. This player plays them like a champ. The built-in MP3 decoder and player also worked great but the navigation could have been improved.

I would love to give this player five stars but there are a couple areas that should be improved. For one, when playing audio cd's and mp3's, after a few hours of continuous play the discs would start skipping. This appeared to be caused from excessive heat (Note: this problem did not appear while playing DVD's for as long as 8 continuous hours). Also, I felt the 4" LCD screen could be of higher quality. The screen is not as clear and leaves out a lot of small details that I have been able to view with many other portable players. But, then again, what do you really expect from sub $... portable dvd player?

Awesome.......2005-09-03

Well,
it's a cable, it's nicely shielded & insulated, it's attractive and has gold plated connections.

What more could you ask for? It's a very INEXPENSIVE cable for hooking up your subwoofer a long ways from the receiver.
I get great signal quality and zero distortion.
Why pay more?
Buy this quality Dayton cable, get great sound and keep your wallet full.

Product Description

Following the success of 900 MHz frequency phones, 2.4 GHz phones transmit at even a higher frequency. If you already own one or more 900 MHz telephones, consider a 2.4 GHz model when you are looking to add an additional cordless telephone. Many 2.4 GHz phones can transmit greater amounts of data than lower-frequency units. VTech calls this greater bandwidth. One advantage of greater bandwidth is the ability to link multiple handsets to a single base unit.Add this expansion handset/charger to your base unit to turn your cordless telephone into a multi-handset system. Imagine, up to 4 cordless phones with only one phone jack! Features include call waiting ID, 50 name-and-number phone book directory and handset speakerphone.

Good system with durability issues.......2005-07-20

I have used the phone system for a couple of years. It is one of the best I have found for a small office in terms of functionality and sound quality.

The durability is a whole different ball game. The key pad began to stick on the most frequently used telephones after about a year. resulting in missed calls, dialing errors, and other problems.

Great features; not so great durability.......2005-01-18

Phone has good sound quality in handset and speakerphone mode, great range from base station, easy to use presets and other dialing functions. However, many of the keys have already become somewhat lame. They now require you to press very hard; I have missed more than one call because the on/answer button simply would not respond no matter how hard I pressed it.

Good and not so good.......2004-10-06

This phone system met our needs perfectly (two lines, no messaging system, speaker phone, multiple handset capability) and from that point of view its been a really good phone. However, the keypads on the handsets have become problematic: you have to really press hard to get a number to register and when you do you often get multiples of the one number you're trying to type.

Also Works With VTech 20-2489 System........2004-06-01

This VTech 20-2420 Accessory Handset also works with the VTech 20-2489 Expandable Phone system.

The 20-2489 system is identical to the VTech 20-2481 Expandable Phone system, except that the 20-2489 system has a 20-2420 handset (with stand/charger) included in the box, for a total of *two* handsets, instead of just one.

5 stars because it works well.

Excellent phone system.......2004-03-03

This is a terrific, well-priced, and reliable phone. Reception is clear, battery life is adequate and it is simple to use. I have tried many, more expensive systems and the v-tech 2 line is the best. Additional phones can be added seamlessly and you do not need an outlet in every room. The answering machine can be acceseed from any handset and the paging functions work quite well. I now have 5 phones using 2 lines on the system and am very pleased.
