Keen to purchase a twin DVD player I toyed with the idea of buying any twin screened player on the market from £80 up to £200. In my haste I assumed all players on such a small screen would emit around the same quality in both sound and vision, after all what else would you want it to do other than amuse the kids on a car journey? However, what I soon realised was what this model does which the others don’t – allowing you the option to watch DVD’s independently or else the same film on both screens! Not only this but each unit is a stand alone player in it’s own right – each having a built in battery thus allowing the kids to take the player from the car and watch it in the hotel room/plane/boat etc without the need for a mains charge or any connecting leads necessary from yet another unit (like some other models..). Image looks awesome and the car-fit kit (included + travel bag) is easy & quick to fit and totally unobtrusive compared to the straps etc of other makes. The DVD is top loading meaning a DVD change takes place without removal of the whole unit (again unlike other models) and the sound is balanced and impressive. The screen control is a light touch up/down/L/R button on the front which is makes navigation easy – especially for little hands! All leads come with the product – inc output leads to display onto a TV – the only down side being a lack of a remote control, but this in itself does not distract from what is an excellent piece of kit!
