Anyone Buy One of those Koss Portable DVD Players at Target (1 Viewer)

[Dave Scarpa]

It's a No screen Unit for around $90. Looks cheaply designed so I was wondering if anyone has tried one?

I haven't tried, but I read elsewhere that they have undocumented features like playing MP3 from DVD!

Ya know, I was thinking about buying one, but I couldn't find a review or specs anywhere. I found out by calling Koss Electronics (not Koss, it's a separate company) and asked a few questions, but I don't know how it performs. I was impressed that it had component outputs and an optical port. The main thing that turned me off of it was that it's not a portable in the sense that you can run it on batteries - it's AC (or DC with an adapter) only.

BTW, it's billed as a DVD/MP3/CD player.

99% of other players with the same quoted spec will only play MP3 from CDR, and will not play them from DVD-R...even if they can play movies from the latter format.
