Audiovox DV1500 Portable DVD Player

[SteveDVD]

I am interested in buying the DV1500 but the cheapest I can find is $375. I really don't want to do an auction anyone want to give me a good electronics site for cheap stuff?

I dont know if the APEX portable is as good as the APEX 1500 I got but it is on sale at Walmart for 199.00 If its anything like the 1500 in capabilty ...it will play anything.
Oh the ?...I always goto Ebay for auctions...or pricegrabber or pricescan
for best prices on stuff.

I was thinking about getting the Apex NEW portable but the thought of it breaking scares me. So i will be getting the Audiovox 1680 for only $400 on the navy base tommarrow. I will be saving $150 to $200 compaired to other stores with the high cost, shipping and tax close to $530 at Target if i were to puchase it there or Amazon, ext. But unforunally your is the cheapest price that i have came buy.

other sites and Audiovox 1500:

1. Ecost $ 380

Some things i have found out about the 1500:

1. Short battery life 2hr 2min (movies are somtimes longer and if your travinling without a wall socket or car plug it can become a problem)
2. You can plug a camcorder a game system (i.e. PSone with battery back, etc)

Where cann I get the Audiovox 1680 for $400?

[SteveDVD]

Wait... Hold on here...

You did say the 1500 can have a game system and a camcorder plugged into it. Right???...

the 1680 for $400 sounds real good for a portable...specs:The Audiovox D1680 is a portable DVD Player, it features a 6.8" Screen, Internal Stereo Speakers and Headphone Jack, Virtual Surround (Q Surround), it plays DVD/VCD/SVCD/CD/CD-R/MP3. It includes a Lithium Ion Battery Pack and has 3 hrs. Playback Time. (1700has a 7 in screen) They all make reference to RCA video/audio conectors. One say it has in, another says out....so hard to tell there.

I got the 1680 at the Navy Exchange on monday and its great! If your not military i suggust checking out Target or Target.com they have a sale this week only (till sat 12:01). The Audiovox 1680 for $399! I got mine tax free You have to purchase an adapter from Radio Shack that allows all three wires (yellow, red, and white) to combine into one wire, the ones found on newer camcorders.

Both the 1700 and 1680 have a single plug for an imput and output just flick a switch to go from one to the other

Well I finally got a summer job so I will probably get the 1700 or 1680. Basically the only difference is the screen size.
