We are going on a 12 hour (one way)road trip with our children and I need to by them a DVD player. We bought one a couple of years ago and it was junk.
What is it I need to look for when comparing the lower priced models?
Also do any of them allow you to play video games?
Thanks.

Answer
The lower price models are junk -- that's why it failed. Get a name brand like Panasonic or Sony. Make sure it has input plugs to hook up a Playstation or whatever (you'll need to get the right cord for that).

Sam's Club, Costco, or Overstock.com will give you the better players at the best price.

How come I can't see the closed caption on the dvd player?

hot dude

even though the dvd has cc on it, but i can't see the closed caption on tv? how come?

i have a coby dvd player. i bought it for about 25 dollars, i think.
oh, yes, i have set both dvd player and tv for cc, but nothing shows.

I am thinking that maybe it is due to the low quality of the dvd player.

Answer
You probably need to go into the setup in your DVD player or on the DVD itself. When I want the closed captions this is what I have to do. Look under extras or setup.

I have a Phillips Portable DVD Player with an AV out thingy, a headphone jack thingy, and no red white and yellow inputs. I want to connect my wii to the portable dvd player. I have 3 "y"av splitters 1 male, 2 female.
I will give a link to the dvd player. I really want to put my wii in my room and play wii at night. Any more info needed, just ask.

Answer
You can't do it without the RCA cable inputs. So no, you can't hook up your Wii to that.

What portable dvd player is really great for a good decent price?

nina bo bi

We need a portable dvd player for our road trip.
Where can I get one that is really good with a decent price, not tooooo much money but not cheap and crappy? What kind and where?

We need one that has really great sound so we can both hear it in the car.
We also need to know of any that come with a car charger or where we can get one for it?
THANKS!

Answer
I hear you about the cheap ones, they last for a year or so maybe. Go with a name brand like Sony. The Sony DVP-FX930 9-Inch Portable DVD Player has great reviews on Amazon and CNET. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TCJI7E?ie=UTF8&tag=howtobecafir-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001TCJI7E
