I kept some old DVDs from my younger years and wanted to share them with my children. These players work great when it comes to playing DVDs. Just make sure to slide the 'on/off' switch on the side. I didn't see this switch at first and thought that the power button may be broken.
The remotes come with batteries, and the players come with straps that make it easy to attach the screens to the seats. The picture quality is better than I expected, and the included headphones offer surprisingly good sound. The dual screens are a convenient feature for road trips with multiple kids.
The only downside is that I hoped to connect the screen to my phone so my children could also watch online videos. Unfortunately, this set doesn’t include the necessary HDMI cord. I purchased one separately, but after over an hour of troubleshooting, I could only get the audio to play. I was unable to get the image to display despite selecting HDMI mode on the DVD player and trying every possible setting I could think of on both my phone and the DVD player. The instructions made it look like it was as simple as plugging in the HDMI cord, but this wasn't the case for me.
Despite this, I still think this was a great find, and I look forward to using these DVD players for years to come!
