Car DVD Player : What is it?
| Car DVD players are more compact than regular DVD players, often just large enough for a disc tray and basic controls. Most models come with LCD display screens, but can also connect to car TVs. They can be installed on the car's roof or dash, or between the driver and passenger seats. Car DVD players are useful for families traveling with small kids, who tend to get bored on long trips. Some high-end car DVD players are designed for international travelers and can read different zone formats. |

Kinds of Car DVD Players include the following: |
Portable Car DVD Players
These car DVD players consist of a screen and disc tray, which can be folded for transport and storage. They are usually stand-alone and can be placed anywhere in the car. They can also be viewed outside of the car, either running on batteries or the car's power supply. Most of them can be hung from the back of a seat, allowing passengers to watch from the backseat.
In-dash Car DVD Players
In-dash Car DVD Players mount into a slot in the car's dash, with the screen folded upward for viewing. They are controlled from the front and can be hard to view from the backseat, especially in bright sunlight. They usually offer limited viewing angles because the screen rests flat on the dash, but some models can be installed a few inches outward to allow the screen to rotate. Most models can also play other media, such as audio CDs and mp3 discs.
Roof-mounted Car DVD Players
These car DVD players are built into the roof with a tilt-down or swivel screen. They can be tilted to different angles of optimum viewing from the backseat, and folded into the base when not in use. The screen is usually too high up to be viewind comfortably from the front seats. They are commonly used on larger vehicles, such as SUVs and minivans.

Viewing angles: Choose a car DVD player that can be comfortably viewed from the front and back seats. Avoid TFT screens because their colors tend to distort at certain angles. Choose a larger screen if you have a large vehicle, or consider getting a smaller satellite screen for the backseat.
Controls: If you travel with young children, choose a car DVD player with controls only on the front seat. This will allow you to monitor the shows they watch. Choose a remote-controlled player if you watch from the backseat. |
