Reviews of the Initial IDM-1731
-
CNET Review
The Good: Low price; crisp picture; long battery life; S-Video output; compact and light; plenty of volume through headphones; car adapter included.
The Bad: Awkward battery charging and connection; long battery-charge time; no separate contrast control; remote necessary for many basic functions.
The Bottom Line: The Initial IDM-1731 portable DVD player offers a budget price and a decent-looking picture, making it a solid choice.
Manufacturer: Initial Technology, Inc.
