Works great!!
I use this portable dvd player every saturday and sunday night at my part time security job and it works perfectly. What's really amazing is I've only used the charger maybe three times since I've bought it and my battery has never died. I've had this item over 8 months and I haven't experienced any problems yet. I fully recommend the Axion portable dvd player.

DVD Player stopped working....
I would NOT recommend purchasing this. The DVD player worked very well for the first few times I used it but probably the 6th time I used it, it cut off to static during the middle of the movie and now will not read any DVDs. It turns on for about 5 seconds and loads as if nothing is wrong then just craps out. With so many options on the market it would be smart to pick another DVD player!!!

Not Happy
Overall the its an OK player, but what turned it from a 5 star rating to a 2 is product detail by Amazon. I looked high and low for weeks for a 7" screen dvd player with hi-resolution which Amazon's descriptions claims this to be. Under the specification it says the screen is a 720x480 but when I got my player and measured it out, it was only 480x234 at best. Now I know some retailers would describe a 480x234 as 1440x234 to make it look better than it really is, but I purchased this from Amazon thinking they of all people would have the right specs. Lesson learned, can't trust anyone's specs.

Just what I needed
I needed an easy to use, easy to carry and easy to use via battery DVD player and that is what I got.

Flimsy, short life span
Bought in April, broken by August (stopped reading discs). Even by the standards of these cheap Chinese DVD players, this one was flimsy.
The build quality was suspect -- the auto adapter had a very long thin wire instead of thicker, more durable cord. It was impossible to use the car charger with battery backup, so that when you turned off the car, the movie restarted unless you were using battery (and when the battery was dead, you couldn't switch power sources without restarting the disc).
I had better luck with the Coby.

well worth it
this is my first portable dvd player. for months i did an online search looking for the best buy for my money. i read several reviews regarding
portable players, and noted complaints about small screens, bad audio, not the sharpest picture, etc, so i was not even sure i wanted to buy one of these type units....however i came across the axion, studied the wonderful reviews and decided to buy it....
WHAT AN AWESOME MACHINE THE AXION IS.....
i am quite comfortable watching the 7" screen, the picture is clear and sharp, the audio is more than adequate without earphones, keeping in mind that i do not use it on an airplane, have not used the remote yet, but the controls on the unit are very easy to use.
the battery last two hours, most times i use it plugged into a wall outlet anyway. right now i am on vacation with no regular dvd player available, last evening i was able to hook up this axion to the tv and watch the dvds on a larger screen, but keep in mind that to do this you also need an extra cable (the one with the prongs that hook up into the 3 different colors on the TV, dont know what it is called) this cable is not supplied by axion, so have one available to hook up to the tv, the other end (prongs) are hooked up to "the cable axion does supply".
i have had this unit for a month now, so at this time i cannot attest to longevity of the unit, i will post again at a later date, but i can tell you at this point in time the axion was well worth the money.

Great DVD Player - Love It!
I've had this DVD player for two years now, and have found it to be reliable, with nice viewing, a decent battery life and pretty durable. We've dropped it a few times, and it still works well. I love how it has "anti-shock", so when riding in the car on a bumpy road, it doesn't restart. It's easy to operate, has portals for two headphones, and comes with a remote. Yes, the battery only lasts for two hours or so, but it works well for us. I would definately buy this again!

Good Over the Long Haul
I've had this for about six months, and use it about 3 times a week. It's been a great little player, even at this price. I've mostly used it at home, plugged in, but even when using it with the battery it works fine. Battery life is about 2 1/2 hours. The picture is very good, and the toggle from widescreen to pan&scan is a plus, since I watch a combo of new movies and old. I really like that all the "adjustment" controls are mechanical, that is, on the player body rather than brought up on the screen. This makes it easy to pause, arrow back and forth, fast forward or back, and turn a control wheel adjust to brighter or darker screen. It is very lightweight, and I am careful moving it around, so I don't know how it would do being banged around, dropped, etc. But the light weight is a plus for me since it makes it easy to carry it from room to room as I sometimes do, especially when playing an audiobook CD. The sound tone is pretty good for a portable, with no adjustments except for volume. I haven't played music on it, but speech is crisp without sounding tinny. I am not a "techie" by any stretch of the imagination, so I am very glad to have found this nice little player my first time out.

Axion AXN6070A 7" Portable DVD Player
I purchased this for my 2 year old daughter so I can have my big TV back. She does not treat it very well and it has help up to all of her abuse without any problems. My only complaint is the brightness adjustment is where I would expect the volume to be so the brightness gets adjusted a lot when I just want to turn it down. Pretty minor problem in my opinion.

I love it!
I have two kids, so I spend a lot of time driving and waiting around and, as everyone knows, waiting rooms of any kind are the 7th circle of hell. I got this to play movies etc. I've downloaded from the internet. It took a while to figure out the best way of doing that, but now that I have I wouldn't be without this little toy! It's incredibly compact and except for the earphones I had to buy, it came with everything else it needed (power sources, remote). I wasn't expecting hi-def, just something that worked and I think both the audio and video far surpassed what I expected. I use this propped on a stand while I'm walking on the treadmill, and I always carry it with me when I have to take the kids somewhere. For the price, it's WELL worth it.

Great Little Player
I really liked this little player. It broke very easily though. That's my only complaint. Great picture.

Great Value for Price
This is the 4th player I've tried, the least expensive, and best screen quality. Easy and dependable.

Not the best
I got this as a holiday special on amazon and paid $25 for it. I don't think I would pay much more for it though. The lens got dirty almost right away and it stopped working until I cleaned it off. It works though and does the trick but it's not that wonderful!

Low Life
At the same time that I purchased the Axion AXN6070A 7" Portable DVD Player for my kids, I also purchased the Phillips PET824 8.5" portable DVD player for myself. The Phillips is in a different league than the Axion, and if you're a traveler that will rely on the battery life of the portable DVD player, then you definitely don't want the Axion. The Phillips is a bit more expensive, but it has everything and more than you could want out of a portable DVD player.
Both the Phillips and the Axion LCD screens are crystal clear. You lose a little definition as you move side to side (as with most LCD type screens), but nothing too drastic that would warrant a complaint. The Phillips PET824 has an 8.5" screen and the Axion a 7" screen. The 1.5" difference is not dramatically different, but the larger Phillips screen does enhance the viewing experience.
The sound is fair on both the Phillips and the Axion without headphones, but I don't think that the idea was to use the units without them. Sound is fabulous on the Phillips with a good pair of headphones, and just okay on the Axion; your iPod headphones will do just fine for either unit (and if you don't have a pair you'll need to buy one because the players don't come with any). Both have two audio output jacks, and a 3-way splitter (not included) worked fine on both so that 4 people could watch and listen at the same time with headphones.
Here's the big difference between the two units: Battery Life.
I've gotten almost 7 hours out of the Phillips' battery, and the Axion's battery gives you less than 2 hours. Therefore, if you're an airline traveler or just want to bring your player somewhere that you can't use either the car adapter or the DC adapter, then you absolutely don't want the Axion; you want the Phillips.
On a recent airline trip the Axion--after a full charge--conked out after less than two hours...that's not even a full movie in most cases.
The Phillips' battery is a bit bulky. You'd think that with today's technology they'd be able to slim it down, but you can't complain about the 6+ hours of life you get with it after a full charge. The Axion's battery is smaller and more lightweight than the Phillips, but what can you do other than watch a few SpongeBob episodes with less than two hours of battery life. The Phillips PET824 is good for at least 2 full-length features before charging and that's awesome for long trips where you can't use the DC adapter or car adapter.
The car adapter on both the Axion and the Phillips work great and they both have long cords. So no need for the battery on car trips. The Axion at best might be a nice, less expensive alternative if you won't be taking your portable DVD player to places that require battery use.
Both the Phillips and the Axion fit in my small briefcase, and they're both relatively light. The Axion is a feather compared to the Phillips. Amazon sells cases for the units that can mount on the back of the driver or passenger seats. The case I got also mounts in between the driver and passenger seats. I'd highly recommend a case for your player. I went with the Case Logic Koskin DVD Player Case.
All in all....The Phillips PET824 was a much more satisfying purchase for me. For my purposes, the Axion just won't do for airline trips, and that's a major requirement; hence, the Axion is a major disappointment. But as I said earlier, the Axion is certainly a viable alternative if you don't mind sacrificing screen size and you don't plan on the need for battery power.

Pleasantly surprised
I've had really bad luck with portable DVD players. I had two Toshibas which were chock full of features, but both of them ended up malfunctioning after about a year. I decided to save a little money and go with this Axion one, since it got decent reviews. And I am happy with it! It is very basic, but it's quiet & runs nicely. It even comes with a remote. The sound quality is excellent, and though the video resolution isn't spectacular (text is a little hard to read), for the money, it's a great treat to be able to watch a DVD without having to reset the laser every half hour. I look forward to many happy hours of DVDs.

A really nice portable DVD player
I have owned this player for over a month now, and have had no problems with it. Battery life is ok too. We took it on a long drive, and my son was able to watch a full Harry Potter movie on a single battery charge. The brightness of the screen was sufficient for watching the movie in a bright van with full sunlight coming in. The audio output of the unit is also impressive for its size.

Amazon Rocks
Amazon hooked me up by selling me this for less than $25 - thanks to there Customers Vote contest. DVD works great in everything. My only complaint is that the screen doesn't dim when closed (inconvient if you are hooking it up to a bigger TV). DVD player is great for video games and the battery lasts surprisingly well.

Great Portable DVD Player
I had already gotten a portable DVD player but after I saw this one I took it back. For a cheaper price I got this one. The screen is larger and the battery life is longer. My husband and son LOVE it. We haven't experienced any problems with it. Great Buy!

Lovely piece of work
I got this as a deal for $20 and I use it as a regular DVD player at home (connected to my TV) and a portable one when I am on the road. Battery is decent. It can use any DC power (at the appropriate voltage) also due to its design. Only little problem.... remote doesnt have a volume control.. but then many DVD players dont.
