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.

 My Initial Reaction May 12, 2003
30 out of 32 found this review helpful
Always wanted a nice compact portable dvd player,but these toys are usually too high in price..This player got it right on the money.
The player has everything the high price ones have except the BIG screen..(If I wanted that,,I'd get a laptop computer with dvd),,,besides,,it's all about being compact..This player is fun to watch ..The screen is 4 inches but that's what you look for in a portable,,not a suitcase...
Picture is clear,,disc does not skip..Where did these Initial guys come from??This is a high quality player for the price.
With a pair of Koss 50 clip on or Panasonic RP-HS41 clip on headphones,the sound is unreal.
Some People Are Too Picky October 20, 2003

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.
 Doesn't Live Up To Expectations May 31, 2003

After reading many positive reviews on several web sites, I thought this would be a great deal on a great product. I was extremely dissapointed when it arrived. You should know that the rechargeable battery is EXTERNAL and locks on with flimsy plastic nubs and you have to connect an external cable from this battery pack into the main unit. This adds extra weight and doesn't feel securely attached (doesn't look good either). An AC adaptor and car adaptor are provided to power the device, but I bought it for my commutes on the subway...Aside from the power situation I found the screen quality to be poor: very pixelated, motion was jerky, colors were off, and there was a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. The menus and other text is unreadable. The audio sounded fine on my Sony headphones. The price is right, but I returned the device for poor quality.

Don't put your money in the trash can September 21, 2003

This initial brand is one of the worst "new" brands outside. I made the wrong choice by purchasing this portable dvd based on the price and what I did was to throw away my money because It didn't last more than 7 months. The battery died forever and the audio was not according with the picture. After 6 months its warranty covers only parts and of course you'll have to pay for the labor, which in most cases it's even more than what you paid for the whole thing, keep adding because this people won't even pay for the shipping to send them the product. Hope you don't fall in this kind of "business". Just keep browsing.
