Initial 1731 Portable DVD Player

byphungus Dec 21, 2004
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Plays most any disc, easily connects to a TV
Cons Not true widescreen, built-in sound is weak
Recommended it? Yes

The Initial 1731 portable DVD player is one of the best deals you can find for a 7-inch widescreen model. I shopped around online and in real stores and ended up finding the best deal on this thing at Amazon. Their price has gone back up a little bit and now some stores, such as Circuit City, are...

My use of the Initial 1731:

A Quality Piece of Machinery

13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Price, Dependability, Basics
Cons Sound quality leaves a lot to be desired
Recommended it? Yes

I'm actually surprised at how well my IDM-1731 has held up in over a year. It was a steal at $84.00 and I won't make much for complaints, especially for a product I found on clearance and sold by Macy's nonetheless as the fallout from the holidays. The thing about electronics products on sale from... Read full review »

Dependable Unit

byrassler Nov 5, 2003
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap replacement battery....34-36 dollars at Walmart. Very affordable unit, at $233...
Cons Not...progressive scan, also... sound's "canyon" effect on some DVDs.
Recommended it? Yes

Purchased this unit in Alaska at local Walmart, was marked down as a "display model" from $299 to $175, which I thought was a good discount considering that the only reason it was not full price was that they opened two boxes for "displays" and this one could not
be sold as new.

Pros Sturdy case for the price, beautiful picture quality for the price.
Cons Freezes up, poor sound, disc wont load.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this DVD player because in the store the picture quality was excellent. On the unit I purchased the picture was great too, however, the first time we put a DVD into it we got a blue screen. Finally after a lot of loading and reloading the disc we got it to play. About half way through... Read full review »

Pros Small, versatile
Cons Sound level
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this on a whim because we had several car trips planned with my 3 kids. After getting it home and reading the reviews on this web-site I was afraid I made a mistake.
But, we have used this player on 2 long car trips, at the hotel and here at home many times in the last few weeks, and... Read full review »

Pros Didn't work long enough to find any.
Cons Too many to list, suffice to say this item is junk.
Recommended it? No

Junk!! No matter what price you pay this manufacturer is knowingly selling garbage! Rating one star is the minimum here as I would rate it zero stars. Shame on Initial Tech. for putting so many customers through such an unhappy experience and extremely disappointing purchase. This unit never played... Read full review »

Pros Great price, quality, and compatability. BUY THIS UNIT!!!
Cons Battery is non-standard
Recommended it? Yes

I know that there are better units out there but most of them cost twice as much as this unit. I have had this unit for 6 months and have used it a great deal. I have had no problems with the quality of the unit. To the contrary, it has been dropped and still works well.
