Our old portable DVD player died so it was time. I purchased this one based on other reviews. I must admit the video quality is great, however, the speakers are greatly lacking. We happened to have a speaker that we were able to plug in and works great. The only other issue we are having with it is the voice being off. the video and sound get off, so we pause it for about 10 seconds and play again. Seems to be working so far. Over all, I would say this is a great purchase for the price!
