Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Ready, steady, Go: you'll be set for whatever adventure the road brings your way when you pack GoVideo's DP7240 portable DVD player. The unit features off-road construction for the rigors of an active lifestyle, including anti-shock protection (ASP) and stylish blue Impact Shield rubber edges. The player's 7-inch LCD is configured in for 16:9 widescreen movies, and it'll spin your photo CDs and music CDs, too.

The DP7240 comes with a rechargeable battery good for around 2.5 hours of playing time and a credit-card-style remote that's small enough to slip into a pocket. The payer's optical-media compatibility extends from standard DVD-Video to recordable DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, music CD, Kodak Picture CD, and recordable discs filled with JPEG images or MP3 music files. Is it equipped to show your custom slide digital-photo shows to relatives while you're traveling? You bet it is.

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 (coaxial audio cable not included).

Listen through the unit's built-in stereo speakers, or take advantage of its .125-inch headphone jack (headphones not included) to listen in private--or to confine gaming noises to the gamer's head. Additional supplied accessories include a car adapter/charger, an AC adapter/charger, and audio/video hookup cables.

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.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote battery, a rechargeable player battery pack, a DC vehicle power adapter, an AC/DC power adapter, audio/video hookup cables, a user's manual, a quick-reference guide, and warranty information.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Works--with help........2006-12-26

This was purchased for our child to watch DVDs in the car. It doesn't draw enough power to work from the cigarette lighter, so we have a small transformer that allows us to use a wall plug. This works for us because I generally have a laptop computer that needs the transformer anyway. The battery doesn't stay charged enough to watch a total 2 hour movie. Other than that, the screen works well, the speakers are more than adequate (she uses headphones and we've added a dual headphone jack for two listeners) and it's lightweight. It's adequate but not outstanding.

1 out of 5 stars Not Worth It.......2006-04-27

We purchased this DVD player after reading a good review about it in Outside magazine. Sounds like we were lucky and ours worked almost 5 months before it started to scratch the DVD's and not play anything. I sent it back three months ago and have called every two weeks since to find out when we could expect what I thought is/was going to be a NEW player for a $90 service charge. I am continually told it will be another two weeks before they are in stock. After reading the other reviews I have resigned to the fact that I will probably never see a replacement. Fine by me....I plan on buying another portable DVD player made by a company like Sony or Panasonic. Go Video's customer service is horrid. You can't even get a human being on the phone at their corporate office.

1 out of 5 stars DON'T PURCHASE FROM GO VIDEO.......2006-02-10

My player didn't work properly within the first 4 times using it. I sent it in for warranty repair and received AN EMPTY BOX back! Can you believe that? THEY SENT AN EMPTY BOX! Now, I have been trying to get a replacement or even my original unit back but the Customer Service is HORRIBLE. It seems I am not alone on this issue and I wish GoVideo would get the pants sued off them for Fraud.

If you have issues, call the Attorney General of the State of Arizona. I am doing that right now. 1-800-352-8431.

You can also call corporate and get EVERYONE's voice mail (does anyone really work at GoVideo?) I think they exist to rip people off. I would recommend Amazon.com and other retailers STOP SELLING THEIR PRODUCT. It makes them look bad.

1 out of 5 stars Lasted 4 months.......2006-01-04

I also read a positive review in CNET and bought this - it started being flaky after about 2 months, and it's completely dead now at 4 months. I wish I read the Amazon customer reviews before buying it. Whoever gave this 5 stars either works for GoVideo or hasn't used it for long before rating it.
I will not buy another GoVideo product again.

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy this item.......2005-12-31

I purchased this item and gave it as a Christmas gift (2005). It broke after only 5 days. Because I bought it on line, I can't just return it for a refund. I read a positive review of this item on the CNET website and ordered it. Then I read the negative reviews on this site. CNET should be held accountable for not giving truthful information about this product.
