Amazon.com Product Description

The PDV-0701A portable DVD player from Polaroid Electronics lets you enjoy your movies, music, and digital photos when you're on the road or relaxing in the comfort of your own home. Its autosensing power adapter (AC 100 to 240V, 50/60 Hz) makes it perfect for international use, too -- a great companion for business or pleasure. The book-thin, MP3-friendly player features a broad, 7-inch LCD configured in a widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio whose dimensions closely approximate those of your favorite contemporary movies. A supplied rechargeable lithium-ion battery keeps your discs spinning for three to four hours between charges, and the player also comes with separate AC and DC power adapters for use indoors, in cars and boats -- you name it.

The PDV-0701A also offers built-in stereo speakers for headphones-free listening, picture zoom, and compatibility with DVD-Video, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded discs -- not to mention digital photos stored as JPEG images on recordable CD (you can rotate and zoom on these, as well). Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output (through a .125-inch minijack-to-RCA coaxial cable, not supplied) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

Use the supplied AV interconnects to hook the player up with your television and/or stereo system. Playback options include frame-by-frame slow motion, forward and reverse play, and multiple-angle viewing (with applicable discs). Headphones are not included, though you do get a handy splitter for listening with a friend.

Do NOT buy a POLAROID DVD PLayer.......2007-08-17

I bought a similar portable DVD player from Polaroid and it's amazing how similar my experience is with all the other low scores in these reviews. It seemed to work fine for a few months of very light use. At about 6 months, it just stopped working correctly. It would jerk and freeze up whenever you tried to play a dvd. Polaroid has LOUSY support and wouldn't even respond to my emails. Please check the length of the warranty before buying anything by Polaroid. Mine was for only 3 months and even though it died at 6 months, they don't care. Not worth your money.

Terrible!.......2007-06-07

Oh but it worked just fine while under warranty - 3 months. Then all I get is black and white. Do you think my 3 kids want to watch black and white movies all the way to Florida? Buy something else. Oh yeah, when I call customer service they basically told me 'too bad, you are out of warranty. only thing we can do is replace it for $90.00' Uh, I don't think so...

Good DVD player.......2007-03-05

I bought this item and it worked perfectly fine. When I received my Xbox 360 I was planning to take it on the road and play it on the DVD player. The only problem was, unlike most DVD players, it did not have any where to plug it at. So if you are planning to play your PS2,XBox, or other consoles don't but this product.

Mine was garbage and poor warranty (90 days) Buy another brand!.......2007-02-10

I rarely give bad revues, but my experience with this DVD & a digital camera were so bad that I say two thumbs down to Polaroid.

I had an Initial and my daughter used it constantly for about a year. Then one day somebody stole it. I must have not locked the doors. :-(

This Polaroid was the replacement for that Initial. I used it once or twice and was unimpressed. By then the little one was more interested in the conversation in the car and she never used it. It sat safely in my closet for about 1 year. When I took it of of the shelf and tried to use it there was no picture.

The warranty was only for 90 days so I'm stuck. They offered to swap it out for $100. I can buy a new replacement for less!

I thought that this one was kinda thick & clunky and I really didn't like it much. I had a Polaroid digital camera which was very difficult to use and took lousy pictures, so they let me down twice. I had a few of their film cameras which were great, but based on these two items, I'll be getting a different brand replacement.

You get what you pay for.......2006-12-23

and in my case, it was free. Our company gave it to employees for Christmas '04. I only use it on long flights or train rides, about once a month, and it still works just fine. The only problem I've had, aside from the short battery life, is that the battery doesn't seem to fit very securely and I have to be careful when moving the unit while it's playing, or I loose power. I use it with high-quality digital headphones, and the sound is great. I like that its wide screen, since all my movies are in that format for my home TV. I don't use it for CD's because I have an iPod, so I don't know how well, or bad, it plays CD's. But all-in-all, its not a bad DVD player.

Great.......2006-04-02

Really Great portable DvD player. i got it for christmas of 05. But i wish the remote buttons were all on the player itself becuase i lost my remote so i can do some stuff like fast foward. Really good picture and sound. Overall great portable dvd player

Not good.......2006-02-27

We bought this player for Christmas for our 17 year old son. He has nothing but complaints about it and he hates to complain. The on/off switch does not go off. When we put DVDs in to watch a loud clicking sound begins. At times during movies, the system just stops.
Now it is 60 days later and returning it is a pain.

Took a lick'n and kept on tick'n...........2005-12-04

I bought this model nearly two years ago because it was very inexpensive at the time, and I never expected it to last more than a few months - especially since it was being abused by a 2-year old boy. After about six months, he dropped it off a table onto the hardwood floor, and broke one of the hinges that holds the screen on. I figured that was it, but even with the screen hanging on by the ribbon cable, it still worked perfectly. I was able to fabricate a new hinge pin out of a paper clip, and we used it successfully for another 18 months. Over that period it has spent much of it's life in the back of our SUV, where it has repeatedly been dropped, kicked and stepped on. Unfortunately, my son just stepped on it once again tonight and cracked the screen. He's 4 years old now, so I guess the extra weight was just too much for the poor thing. Hey, at least it still plays music! Maybe we just got lucky with ours, but given our highly abusive experience, I would definitely have to recommend this model - especially for the price. We definitely got $170 of use out of it.

Amazon.com Review

This scanner connects to your PC's parallel port for quick and easy setup with almost any Windows-compatible computer. Paired with a well-designed driver and a complete software bundle for editing and managing your images, Umax's Astra 2000P offers hassle-free scanning.

To set up the Astra 2000P, we followed the instructions in the quick start guide. We connected the parallel cable from our PC to the scanner and then connected our parallel printer to the scanner. We plugged in the AC power and installed the software from the CD-ROM. The software installation process was mostly automated, installing several applications consecutively. In our case, installation of the last application (OmniPage OCR) failed, requiring us to install it manually--a process that turned out to be quite tedious.

We tested the Astra 2000P by starting an imaging application and scanning a magazine photo. The Umax VistaScan driver software started automatically and, after a short delay while the lamp warmed up, showed us a preview scan. (VistaScan consistently waited for the scanner's lamp to warm up even after the lamp was already warm.) VistaScan has Beginner and Advanced buttons at the top of its window; the Beginner screen includes icons for color photos, printed material, text, line art, and Web images. We selected the working area on our preview scan and clicked the Color Photo icon for a final 300-dpi scan. VistaScan automatically exported the image to our graphics application. The image had an unsightly moiré pattern, so we repeated the scan using a magazine descreening option. A third scan at 600-dpi looked only marginally better than the first scan and not as good as the second.

To test OCR abilities, we scanned a page of text that contained accompanying line art. The scan took about 40 seconds, including OCR translation. Caere's OCR software ignored the line art, created a two-page single-column document from our single-page two-column original, and exported the document to Microsoft Word. The two-page formatting was unexpected, but the interpreted text was correct. The OCR software did a decent (though not perfect) job of recognizing different fonts. You'll want to explore the well-chosen bundled applications, which are designed more for home use than for business.

Pros:

Easy hardware setup
Detailed, printed owner's manual

Cons:

Lengthy software setup

Decent but not great scanner..........2006-12-06

I owned this scanner for a little less than a year with satisfactory results. The scan speed seemed a little slow on higher-resolution images, but the scan quality was great. After about 9 months I started getting the yellow bands on my scanner that other users seem to get as well. If you have Windows 98, the scanner might be worth purchasing for the low prices it currently sells for, just know that you'll probably only get about a year's worth of scans out of it. However, I did use my scanner fairly heavily for the duration of the 9 months I had it.

Extra cost w/win XP.......2004-02-10

Used scanner w/W98 with so-so results. Upgraded to W-XP.
Scanner doesn't work w/XP. Sent in $15 to umax for CD that
was supposed to allow 2000P to work W/XP. Re-installed soft-
ware from CD umax furnished, no go. Tried to e-mail umax for
some help, but ran into a long jump-thru-the-hoops process that
did nothing but frustrate. So, I now own a 2000P door stop.
If anyone is thinking about buying umax, I would think long &
hard about their products.

Yellow bands and no XP.......2003-07-03

I used this scanner with great results for a year or so... was very happy with it. Then I started getting yellow bands on my scans (as have MANY OTHER PEOPLE -- most haven't been able to get rid of them). I haven't attempted to see if I can get rid of them because I upgraded to windows XP and UMax doesn't provide an XP compatible driver.... wonderful scanner... for a year.... if you have Windows 98...

Good scanner for newbies!.......2003-04-29

I found the quality and speed to be just fine especially scanning pics for my web page. The software offers all of the options with regard to resolution, size and the various choices you may want to make for a scan if you are a more experienced user. It's a parallel port scanner so it won't work with XP but it runs great on win98. It might be good to use on a second system with Win98 or maybe for the kids on their system. It's not the best but I believe it's a decent scanner that can be found for an inexpensive price now.

Can't get it to work with XP.......2002-09-28

Now using Microsoft XP but can't find a driver to bring it up past 98.
