I just received this player yesterday and I played around with it last night. Picture for such a small screen is not bad. All the buttons and the remote work. Played through Return of the Jedi and everything was great. If you are looking for a cheap protable then this would be it. Now as for its bad points. It is a bit loud on startup and you can hear when it skips tracks and such but not overbearing. The AC adapter gets really warm. I had it hooked up to charge the battery and unplugged it because I was afraid it would start a fire…lol. Also on the chapter screen and optoins screen the highlights are hard to see. But overall good little player…enjoy.

Initial IDM-9520 Portable DVD Player with 4-Inch LCD and Car Kit Overview

Watch movies and listen to MP3 CDs using Initial Technology’s IDM-9520. The player comes with everything needed to use it in the car or in the home. Its built-in 4.2-inch widescreen TFT (thin-film-transistor) LCD displays your favorite movies in their native aspect ratios, while its onboard antiskip protection–a surprisingly rare feature in portable DVD players–paves the way for media enjoyment during more active uses.

Listen through built-in stereo speakers or through the headphone jack using personal headphones (not included). Connections include a composite-video output, an analog audio output, and an optical digital-audio output so you can hook up the player with your audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system to enjoy immersive DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround from your discs (optical digital-audio interconnect not included). The unit gets about 2.5 hours of playback from the supplied rechargeable lithium battery.
