Greatest Portable Television System Ever!! 
2008-07-31
This has been an amazing product, I have been in Iraq for almost three years with this tv, If anyone has been in Iraq knows how dusty it gets. Even in the Dusty environment this product has stood the test of time. This Tv comes with two wireless headphones which are great. I have taken this tv in a tent environment and a dorm environment. I Have watched tv with the wireless head phones and not disturbed anyone sleeping. The sound is incredible. If you choose to use the speakers this puppy is loud. Most Tv's go up to volume level of 50 this has a level of 100. The two speaker system sounds great so you can listen to cd's and also watch jpeg cds.
I will probably be getting a Audio Vox Tv for my bathroom next. If your a College student and plan to have a room mate or getting shipped to Iraq or Afghanistan you need this tv!!! It does have a Cable antenna hook up as well so you can take advantge of Arm Forces Network or any other Cable Network. Mine came with a carry on bag so you can easily travel with this tv on planes and helicopters. It has straps were you strap it somewhere stable or you can us the stand that easily pulls out to stand it on a night stand or desk.
Must be operator error 2007-02-16
I saw this item showing 2 stars. Are you kidding? This is the BEST DVD portable system I ever owned. 12 full viewing inches, infra red head sets, but you can also plug in additional headphones, straps super easy in between back seats, great picture, can also bring inside and plug into wall and watch. Does it get better?
It also comes with a great carrying case that the DVD player drops into when you get out of the car. I usually leave the mounting straps in the car to make it easier. Everyone I know who has this item loves it! The ONLY drawback I have found is that if your DVD is burned, it wont play it, so use original DVD's and not burned copies.
Only buy this if you have money to throw away!!

I bought this in December and after playing 2 videos it overheated and just showed colors on the screen. If you have even a tiny scratch on your DVD it wont play it. We only use it on long trips so it has not been used that much and now it wont even load the DVD at all. I called custumer service and without the reciept my warantee is no good and it will cost $180 plus shipping to fix. I even read the bad reviews and thought mine would be different!! HAHAHA. It will be my next yard sale item.

I am the mother of 3 and drive a Ford Expedition. I didn't want to get an overhead tv because either they were too small or blocked my vision. I have just ordered online my 3rd tv of this exact same model...seems that thieves like this tv as well.(Remember to cover it, I never did.) I have read the reviews of those who have given it one or two stars and I have to disagree. I have tried several other portable models for autos and am not as satisfied with them. For the price and the size of the screen the Audiovox 1210 is a good deal, also the wireless headphones are great. I would say that if you use this tv alot you should try to get a replacement warranty if available. We had problems with both of our first two not wanting to play dvds at around 10 months. The picture would first start to freeze up and then it would stop working. I did send one back to audiovox and they fixed it no problem in the 13th month of ownership (they give you an extra month of the warranty.) I have always found the picture to be clear and my kids have no complaints on long trips. Also, it is very convenient to be able to bring in the tv to a motel and not have to worry about ordering movies, etc. All in all I obviously would purchase this tv even with the shortcomings that I know it has.

Its extensive distribution network and its long-standing industry relationships have allowed Audiovox to benefit from growing market opportunities in the wireless industry and to exploit niches in the consumer electronics business.PRODUCT FEATURES:4: 3 aspect ratio;Horizontal and vertical resolution (450 X 350);2 detachable speakers;TV tuner for in home use;2 wireless headphones;Remote control;Includes in car mounting kit.
byer beware 2006-03-30
I was not lucky enough to get this unit at this wonderful price.
I paid $900 a couple of years ago and was lucky enough to have wonderful customer service from the company I purchased it from.
I had to return the item for replacement 3 times because it would power itself off. All at my cost. Finally the last one worked long enough to be outside their purchase warranty and I had to deal with the company directly.
horrible customer service!
I also had to send the cord in previous to this at my cost because one of the prongs had come off and stuck in the outlet. It took three months to get that back and they tried to claim I had already received it, which I had not. several calls later and speaking to the president of the company itself I was offered to be met half way on repair costs for the unit. I was than called back and told it had no problems they could find. After it was shipped back to me it worked briefly and than started acting up again. The screen now has a green cast to all movement. the good news it doesn't seem to be shutting itself off at the moment!
Disappointing Unit 2006-01-03
First I'll say that I have no one to blame but myself for having bought this unit - I purchased it sight unseen on eBay. I can't say that it does not do what it is supposed to - and it has survived several long car trips without problems. The DVD player has worked fine throughout. However, it does have one major fault: the display is simply not bright enough. It's OK in the house (provided you dim the lights). However, in the car the display is almost unusable. Even in the back seat of a minivan with dark-tinted windows I had to block off the sides with cardboard to make the display watchable.
So the bottom line is that the unit doesn't quite fulfill it's promise. I would not recommend it to anyone. I would recommend that anyone looking for such a unit buy from a local store where they can return the device if not satisfied. My only compensation is that I paid considerably less than the average price for the unit I have.
Poor quality doesn't justify cost or features. 2005-11-03
My review is not of this particular player as much as it is for Audiovox DVD players--based on my experiences with model D1812.
The unit was manufactured in Jan 2005. We purchased it Mar 2005. By June 2005, the unit stopped playing DVD's. It wouldn't even seek the DVD to load it.
Audiovox customer support didn't respond to repeated emails. When we called the customer support number, we were informed that the unit came with a *90* warranty and repair of the unit would incur the $98 standard return fee.
I'm sure they'd just pull a refubed unit off of their shelves and ship it back for the $98. That's a no net loss for them.
It's time to beware of cheap electronics manufactured in China that sport gobbs of features for a relativly low price. What good is it to have built in games, dual headphones, delux carrying case and all the other bells and whistles if it's primary function --play DVD's--doesn't work?
It isn't any good.
And that's why I recommend staying away from *any* Audiovox DVD player. Chances are they same components and manufacturing standards are going into this unit as the one that failed on me.
Bad experience and waste of time!! 2005-10-28
This unit looked like it has everything I needed, including a TV with a PAL/NTSC that can be used overseas. I ordered the first unit; it froze and refused to eject the CD after 30 min. I returned it and the second unit did not have PAL system and the audio quit halfway through the first movie; returned the second unit for a refund. Bad product!!
