Ready, steady, Go: you'll be set for whatever adventure the road brings your way when you pack GoVideo's DP7240 portable DVD player. The unit features off-road construction for the rigors of an active lifestyle, including anti-shock protection (ASP) and stylish blue Impact Shield rubber edges. The player's 7-inch LCD is configured in for 16:9 widescreen movies, and it'll spin your photo CDs and music CDs, too.
The DP7240 comes with a rechargeable battery good for around 2.5 hours of playing time and a credit-card-style remote that's small enough to slip into a pocket. The payer's optical-media compatibility extends from standard DVD-Video to recordable DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, music CD, Kodak Picture CD, and recordable discs filled with JPEG images or MP3 music files. Is it equipped to show your custom slide digital-photo shows to relatives while you're traveling? You bet it is.
Connect a camcorder, video game or other external audio and video source and enjoy home movies and games while you're on the go. Or, take advantage of the unit's coaxial digital-audio output and route it through your surround-decoding AV receiver and multichannel speaker system to get the full benefits of its home theater abilities (coaxial audio cable not included).
Listen through the unit's built-in stereo speakers, or take advantage of its .125-inch headphone jack (headphones not included) to listen in private--or to confine gaming noises to the gamer's head. Additional supplied accessories include a car adapter/charger, an AC adapter/charger, and audio/video hookup cables.
The unit even sports a progressive-scan component-video output for use with your high-definition or HD-ready TV or monitor. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

1 Battery does not work
I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT. MINE WORKS JUST FINE. BUT, THE BATTERY DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IF YOU WANT TO BUY IT TO KEEP IT CONNECTED IN YOUR CAR OR AT HOME, FINE, BUT DO NOT EVER BELIEVE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE IT TRAVELLING (BY PLANE, BUS FOR EXAMPLE). BATTERY LIFE IS OF ABOUT 45MIN TO 1 HOUR. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS EQUIPMENT BECAUSE OF THAT.
2 Horrible battery life and customer service
I had minimal expectations for this product: that it run for long enough to view one movie in its entirety with a decent picture and audible sound. Well, the picture and sound were fine, but that doesn't do much good if the battery won't let you finish your movie. The manual states the battery should last 2.5 hours, but I found it to be more like 1-1.5. Then, I tried to contact GoVideo customer service and received an automated reply, which was unhelpful. I tried again, and they never responded. Luckily, amazon accepted the product for a refund since it was defective. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get something else.
3 Also doing pre-purchase research
Check out CNET.com. They have rated it higher than others, including the Polaroid PDV-0700. It seems only the expensive units come with an international charger (i.e., 120-240VAC 50/60Hz). Otherwise, the unit is "one-way" only on an international flight.
