Mainly a description of DVD 'play'Aug 02, 2010
By Bargain Finder
I'm shocked. Unlike other portable DVD players I've read about, this one played both my home recorded, and 'store-boughten' DVD's very well. I thought at first it was DOA, but then I found I had to push-in the AC cord pretty firmly into the unit's socket to get a connection. After that, it powered-up Ok. The volume control 'could' be made to go higher on some of my DVDs, but for most DVD's, it's fine just as it is. By the way, the manual doesn't mention this, but there is a 'nearly hidden' On/Off switch on the back of the unit to turn On/Off the 'Display'...so be advised, in case nothing shows on the screen. Also, I had to 'tilt' the unit at a downward angle to get lower 'contrast'...which gave a brighter picture...but I think I read in the manual, somewhere, that there is a 'tilt-screen' control...or maybe not.) Now, as for the use of this unit under alkaline battery-power: I loaded 8 alkaline C-Cells under optimal conditions: They were just bought at a big box store which has high product turnover...so they weren't very long on the shelf; I never 'stored' them for any length of time (or used them in any other device); I inserted them in the player within 2 days of having purchased them; and they were (alkaline) Duracell's which, hands down, are the 'best' quality in my opinion. Over a 2-evening test, with a break after 4 hours of DVD's the first night and then continuing the test the next night, the batteries lasted almost exactly a total of 6 hours of playtime. That's not too bad. I know now that I can watch about 3 DVDs on one set of 8 c-cells...given the optimal conditions I described above. If the battery conditions are not optimal (such as being stored for 9 months before being used, etc.), I'd expect less than 6 hours of playtime. Also, I used the default factory settings for the screen brightness and contrast. As I understand it, if you make the screen dimmer, the batteries last longer (as was told to me by a different manufacturer.) By the way, an 'AA' battery DVD player that used to be on the market required 6 AA batteries to get 2.25 hours of playtime. So, that will give you a basis for comparison. I hope all this helps. It really IS a good unit in my overall estimation. (I just wish it would take 8 'D'-cell batteries, instead of 'C'-cells...which would likely have given it considerably longer playtime.) And I just don't know anything about long-term durability. (Follow-up: I went to the manufacturer?/distributor? website as printed in my package/box inserts, and this is what occurred: 1) The player being reviewed is no longer being shown as a current product (i.e. it's just not 'shown' at all). I'll let you decide how to use that information. 2) I emailed their tech support department to ask what kind of battery was used in the remote control of the model I purchased, and after 3 days, I haven't received any reply. Again, I'll let you decide how to use that information.]

 Beware: this will break and you won't get help from manufacturerJan 27, 2011
By John
We ordered this in October and gave it to my son in December for his birthday. He started watching a movie and all worked well.
The next morning, he started his movie again, and the player would not turn on, power up, etc. Because we ordered it so far ahead of his birthday,
we were outside the time frame to return it through Amazon. I proceeded to call 800-663-5954 which is the number provided with the product if one has a problem. This number linked me to
a customer service representative in Canada. That representative told me that I could mail the player to them, and they would replace it. I was given a file number and a Toronto, Ontario address
to use for the mailing address. I paid my $[...] to UPS and had the package sent. UPS called me a week later and explained that the company called NESA would not accept the package, and UPS would either need to send the package back to me in the U.S. at my cost, or the package would be destroyed. I called NESA back, and they told me they would never decline a UPS package; we confirmed the address and the File #, and I gave this info to UPS Canada. NESA still declined my package and it was sent back to me, unopened, and unrepaired. Stay away from Magnasonic!

Boombox that does boomSep 06, 2010
By Guillermo
The actual boombox is not bad looking, small and with a nice screen for its size. But it didn t work. I took it out of the package, red the scarse instructions, started a dvd and boom the dvd stopped working.I thought I had done something wrong so I went to the instructions again, all was ok, started everything again and nothing. A few hours later it worked again but again, 1 minute and then nothing. Expecting warranty, yes but only if you are a canadian citizen; and amazone will only refund if I get lucky, so... don t buy this boombox. I got lured cause it looked ok and was cheap but this was really a bad surprise. Maybe I am a rare case but the lack of service or warranty does not help much... hope this is helpful.

Sweet and Convenient!Oct 15, 2010
By Lisa M.
I purchased this product for my kids. They love it! They each have a different MP3 player/Ipod, and the hookups are convenient and easy to use. They use it in the bathroom when they shower. My 6 year old loves watching DVD's as she soaks in her bubble bath. The picture on the screen is excellent quality! I have recommended this player to all my friends!

 BoomboxOct 15, 2010
By pat
I was only looking to purchase a CD player. But I decided to purchase the Magnasonic MAG-MDVD500 Portable CD/DVD Player Boombox with 7" Widescreen LCD, AM/FM Radio, & MP3/WMA/MPEG4 Playback. I am very happy with the choice I made it's Grrrreat. It's everything and more what I was looking for. The AM/FM radio sounds good and so do my CD's when I play them on the CD player Boombox. The 7" wide screen LCD, show very good picture. It also was a very good PRICE. Everything all in one. I made a very good choice and my son thinks so to.
