Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Watch movies and listen to MP3 CDs using Initial Technology's IDM-9530. The player comes with everything you need to use it in the home. Its built-in five-inch widescreen TFT (thin-film-transistor) LCD displays favorite movies in their native aspect ratios, while its onboard antiskip protection--a surprisingly rare feature in portable DVD players--paves the way for media enjoyment during more active uses.

Listen through built-in stereo speakers or through the headphone jack using personal headphones (not included). Connections include a composite-video output, an analog audio output, and an optical digital-audio output so you can hook up the player with your audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system to enjoy immersive DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround from discs (optical digital-audio interconnect not included). The unit gets about 2.5 hours of playback from the supplied rechargeable lithium battery.

    1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-08-27

    I bought this dvd player about 2 years ago and I also bought it with a case so it would be protected...or not. This dvd player is literally made out of garbage. The plastice hinges where the screen is held broke off so now it is just hanging by two wires. The compartment also broke off where the dvd is put in. Also, if you do not use the so-called "2.5 hour" (which at the most I can get out of it is 1.5 hours) battery within two days when you last used it, then the battery will die. Also what I've noticed is if you tap the compartment where the dvd is place in it will start the movie over, and the movie sometimes just goes blank when I'm in the middle of watching it. Bottom line is that no one should by this dvd player. You're better off with some other company that makes better dvd players.

    4 out of 5 stars A Nice Little Totable DVD Player.......2005-03-20

    This dvd player is great for the price (I did not buy thru Amazon, but I am a happy Amazon customer) Picture quality is good, sound quality could be better, (but for the price I paid, I'm not complaining...) and overall I believe I got my money's worth since I only use it at work. I'm having a blast with this player!!!
    The only problem I seem to be having is the unit heats up during playback and I have to let it cool off between discs for fear that it might overheat and cause damage to the "guts" of the machine. If anyone knows how to remedy this please let me know! :)

    5 out of 5 stars Inexpensive, but does all that is advertised. Works great!.......2005-01-29

    Like the last reviewer, I do not understand the negative reviews on this product either. The Player is a low-end player, but does the job asked to do (plays DVDs) at a very reasonable price. It has a 4:3 format screen and it is not progressive scan. If you want those features, you're not going to find it at this price point (so stop complaining about them).

    The picture quality looks fine to me when played on the 5" screen (I've never plugged it into a TV). Widescreen movies play in letterbox on the screen and make the image a little smaller, but on an airplane or in the back of a car this is still perfect size (especially if you are stuck in coach/economy, like I usually am).

    Battery life is short ( < 2.0 hours), true... so use the car cable or AC adapter (can I say "duh" here). If you need this on a flight I'd recommend picking up the RB-270 extended battery (5400mah) or the RB-Li06 (3600mAH) battery that came with the older 9510-series. For some reason Initial went cheap and lowered the battery on the 9530 to 2200mAH. Batteries only range from 25-50 dollars, and cosidering how inexpensive the player is, adding an extra battery just improves the overall usefulness of this device. You can find this this player and the 6-hour battery for the price of most other players on the market that only have 2.5-3.0 hour battery life standard. I get close to 8 hours (total), for the price of 2.5 hours players. Hard to beat that!

    The bottom line: this is perfect for travel, inexpensive, and I have no problem recommending this device. It works for me. Pick one up when it goes on sale, and you'll be happy too.

    5 out of 5 stars Great value under rugged use.......2005-01-24

    I never write reviews, but the negative takes on this product prompted me to defend it. We've been using ours for a year under very rugged conditions: 4 and 2 year olds watch it while mommy is cooking dinner. The unit has been subject to sticky fingers, spilled juice, several hard knocks, travelling around in a diaper bag--and it's been working great. Only problem is the short battery life: 1.5 hours. Maybe the screen and sound quality could be better, but they are just right for kiddie DVDs.

    1 out of 5 stars 4:3 Widescreen??.......2004-10-30

    Product ad copy writers who know nothing about the technology they are writing about, should be out looking for a new job. 4:3 is FULLscreen, NOT WIDEscreen. This is NOT the original format of DVDs. In fact, even the 16:9 ratio is slightly less than the typical DVD movie aspect ratio. I'm sure the people from the Initial Co. gave the product specs to Amazon, so they are the ones getting 1 star from me.
