 D1718 doesn't last long December 4, 2008
My D1718 just recently broke. I have only had it for 4 months ... just past the 90 warranty. I would rate our usage of it as medium.
The unit worked great until it broke. It seems to have good features and the video resolution is pretty good. However, it now only plays cds. Anytime a try to load a dvd it spins up, makes a bad sound, and then says that no disc is inserted. I have tried the support site with no luck. I reset the software but still had no luck. Though this unit still plays cds, I would never buy a cheap audiovox unit again. It costs too much to throw away after 4 months.
AV out doesn't work November 27, 2008
I wanted to use this product for travel and as an additional DVD player for our bedroom. The travel portion worked fine. The problem is that I didn't attempt to hook it up to our bedroom TV until about four months after I bought it. The manual instructs the user to switch the AV in/out switch to "out" when connecting to a TV. Problem is, there is NO AV in/out switch! After doing an internet search, I discovered that the AV jack supposedly detects an external device and switches accordingly. Clearly, the manual should have mentioned this! In any event, it still didn't work. Nothing but static and noise.
In summary, if you want to use it for a standalone DVD player, it's ok, but don't waste your time or money if you need to use it with a TV.
 Seems ok to me September 20, 2008
A lot of the reviewers seem to hate this item. I got it last year and so far it seems ok. I'm not an expert on portable DVD players but it does what it's supposed to do. It's probably not the fanciest one but it does the job. I wold recommend it.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! July 30, 2008

Don't waste your money on this product! Although it is inexpensive for all the features you get, do you want to be buying another DVD player in 3 months when the warranty runs out like I have to? As soon as our warranty ran out, the screen began to cut out when the unit got warmed up- after say 10 minutes. (Imagine turning off your kids' show after only 10 minutes, imagine the crying they would do!!) After cooling down for hours it would play for another 10 minutes and quit again. I used the a/v out jack to hook it to the TV and it worked- it was a bad connection between the DVD player and the screen.
A local repair shop said no one can repair Audiovox units, they are "disposable" since Audiovox won't sell parts to repair shops. You have to send the unit back, and then Audiovox tells you it will cost $80 to repair the unit. A NEW one barely costs that! Since we can't have it repaired, we took the thing apart and looked at it. It's built with the cheapest components imagineable. The connection on the ribbon cord to the screen was flimsy, no wonder it broke. FYI my repair shop said to invest in a Panasonic unit and I'm going to.
Bang for the buck June 26, 2008
I bought one of these for my wife and she loved it soo much she asked me to get one for her sister ... it was one of those buys that I was glad for, because on a resent trip having two really came in handy ...
