We were very happy with this product. This two screen DVD player was easy to set up and use. We used it nearly continuously while driving for 4 days. We bought two sets of earphones and plugged those into each screen so the driver does not have to listen to the movie while driving. It also functions as a CD player by plugging headphones directly into the player. Just note that each screen has an input button (Screen 1, Screen 2) and if the wrong one is pushed the screen will not show an image. But simply press the correct input button and the image will play on the screen.
 Piece of cheap plastic junk - failed after one trip! January 21, 2008

I bought this for my kids for Christmas, thought it would be great for them each to have their own screen and for me to have the controls in the front (passenger) seat. On our first trip with the players, within 5 miles of our house, the bracket holding the strap on one of the screens broke. Thankfully I was able to rig it together with a band-aid. After the trip, I put away the players (my kids only watch movies on long trips) and took them out a week later for a 2 hr trip. One of the players had sound only, no picture. Completely and utterly broke. Thankfully I bought it through Amazon and returned it because it was defective.
The screens and player are so cheap, I would never buy again. I'm now on the hunt for a new dual-screen set, or even better, two tablet-style dvd players.
DON'T BUY - it is total junk.

I recently purchased this DVD player, even after reading all of the negative reviews. We had a two screen DVD player previously, and it finally died. We tried the ones with the DVD player actually in one of the screens, but the sound was horrible. This DVD player, while it is light and somewhat flimsy, worked perfectly, and the sound was amazing! The picture was great, and it worked like a charm!

I have now had this product for over a year and feel qualified to write a detailed review.
First some pros/cons-
Pros-
1. Dual Monitors.
2. Stand alone player
3. Extremely low price, compared to dealer installed player.
4. Easily transferable to another car, or hotel room when on trips
5. Capability of playing a video game on one screen and movie on another.
Cons-
1. No back up battery, if the car turns off/on the movie turns off and starts from the beginning.
2. On mine, the remote worked fine but not all buttons on the player worked.
A little more detail-
Dual monitors are great if you have more then one kid. They do not have to crank their neck at all to see the screen; it is strapped to the head rest right in front of them. If you have young kids that sit reversed in their car seat you can have one screen facing them and one screen for the older child. The stand alone player is key, yes it causes an extra cable, but it is needed so you can control the DVD player. It is hard to work through the menu of DVDs if you have to reach behind your head and try to feel for the buttons. You can set the separate player right next to you and easily press the buttons with this model. This player is around $170 delivered. In my Honda Odyssey, it was $3000 for a built in DVD player. DVD players will most likely not last more then a few years, I could by about 18 portable players for the price of the built in one. Even if it broke after a year, it would still be well worth it. When we go on trips and stay in the hotel, I just disconnect it from the car, use the A/C adapter, and the kids watch their movies in the rooms if they have too.
My biggest gripe with it is that it does not have a battery in it. For example, say you are getting the kids ready in the car and you turn on the player because you will be awhile packing or need to change a last minute diaper on one of the kids. The player will run with out the engine of the car running, but when you get in the start the car (at least in my Odyssey) there is a split second when no power is sent to the player, that split second is enough to restart the player from the beginning. If your kid cares, you then need to try to find the point the movie left off at. Kind of a pain. Something happens if you are running errands and leave one parent in the car with the kids, if you turn the engine off, it continues to run but once you start the car back up, it resets.
We do not use it every time we are in the car, only if we are in the car for more then 30 minutes or so. We have had many hours of usage and it and would definitely by it again.

I really do love this twin monitor portable dvd system. I researched the heck out of what was available and was a little nervous about getting this one based on earlier reviews, but none of the dual monitor dvd systems seemed to have good reviews at this price range. I have sense used it on very long trips (13 hour drives, etc). Out of the box, it is very light, but turned out to be very durable, (I have two toddlers who kicked the screens and banged on the dvd player.) Both screens worked great. Don't let other reviews sway you too much. It sounds like a lot of people simply did not realize that there are individual screen buttons that allow for one or both of the screens to be on at one time, and these need to be repushed whenever the dvd plyer is turned off. The convenience of having the dvd player seperate from the monitors was better than I realized it would be and the remote works great. I also did not have the problem that I read others had with many systems when the dvd player is turned off, as this one could be turned back on to the last part of the dvd watched, and pause, rewind and fast forward are all options as well, just like you would have at home. I loved it. The sound was loud and clear and you can use ear phones if need be. There is also not the mess of several different cords running all over the place or, as with our old single monitor, a swinging, strappy mess between the seats. The monitors fit neatly and easily on the back of the headrests. Also, once at the hotel, we disconnected the dvd player, and used another cord to watch movies with it on the tv in our room - saved a bundle on hotel movie rentals. Very easy to use, durable and works great!
