Amazon.com Product Description
For those who crave variety or love to travel light, GoVideo's 8.4-inch, 16:9 widescreen DP8440 portable DVD player offers not only the ability to spin your favorite DVD movies, photo CDs, and music CDs, but also the capability to pull in broadcast television stations when used with GoVideo's affordable NTSC TV tuner (model DPT100, sold separately). The tuner attaches directly to the DVD player, transforming the DP8440 into a high-quality, portable LCD television. The slim remote supplied with the player controls basic TV functions such as tuning and volume.

The player also comes with a rechargeable battery offering up to 3 hours of battery life. The credit-card-style remote is small enough to slip into a pocket. The payer's full optical media compatibility extends to DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, music CDs, Kodak Picture CDs, and recordable CDs filled with JPEG images or MP3 music files.

Listen through the unit's built-in stereo speakers, or take advantage of its dual .125-inch headphone jacks (headphones not included) to listen with a partner--or confine the kids' gaming noises to just their heads. Additional supplied accessories include a car adapter/charger, an AC adapter/charger, and audio/video hookup cables.

Connect a camcorder, video game or other external audio and video source and enjoy home movies and games while you're on the go. Or, take advantage of the unit's coaxial digital-audio output and route it through your surround-decoding AV receiver and multichannel speaker system to get the full benefits of its home theater abilities. The unit even sports a progressive-scan component-video output for use with your high-definition or HD-ready TV or monitor.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Nice out of box, terrible quality.......2006-07-10

This DVD player looks great on paper and worked great for us...for about 20 videos of use. It just stopped working. I have read many other user reviews (mostly on CNET.com) of product failure. Think twice before choosing this poor quality machine.

4 out of 5 stars Good value.......2006-06-21

I bought this for my son in 2004 and it does the job nicely. He doesn't care about hi-fidelity, so sound and picture quality isn't an issue. He has dropped the player a few times, but it survived. Overall I'm happy with it. It comes in handy when one kid wants to watch one show and the other wants to watch a movie.

2 out of 5 stars Good when it works.......2006-04-21

I had this for 6 months before it stopped working in the middle of a movie. Wouldn't work at all. I called customer service and, after repeated attempts, eventually got through to them. To say that they weren't helpful would be a huge understatement, they actually directed me to buy a lens cleaner to see if that was the problem. It wasn't. They then told me it would be over $100 to repair. Instead, I opened it up myself and manually "fixed" it in about 5 minutes. Now it works great.
Will never buy from Go Video again though.

1 out of 5 stars Stay Away From Go Video.......2006-04-05

When I first bought this machine I was very happy with it. It worked great. However, about 9 months later the screen started malfunctioning. It was under warranty so I sent it in. Now OVER 4 MONTHS LATER I still don't have a replacement. To make matters worse customer service states they don't have visability into when I will get my fixed/replaced. Purchase from Go Video at your own risk.

1 out of 5 stars DONT BUY THIS!!!!! STAY AWAY FROM GO VIDEO!!!.......2006-01-24

the unit started malfunctioning shortly after it arrived. the display was faulty and couldnt see anything on it.but it gets worse!WHAT A LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE!.calling the 800 number is playing russian roulette.good luck if hold time doesnt exceed less than 20 minutes.i had the unit replaced for one of lesser value!now still waiting for the right one.3 months and counting.it is not worth my time to spend such long hours calling them.ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK should be their logo.
