Twin Screen In Car DVD Player £117

13»

Comments

  • hope this helps someone.I just bought a 7inch twin screen in car dvd player in toys r us for 129.99.(not a well known brand - Designer version but at that price who cares.) The big benefit of this for us is you can plug in a games console and 1 screen can watch a movie and another can play a game(or another movie if we take a PS2!!!!)With 5 kids this really helps on long journeys. To make things even better when we got to the till the sunday newspapers had published a brochure which had a £10 off coupon so we got it for £119.99!!

    This was the store in Belfast Northern Ireland.cant find it on their website so not sure if it exclusive to there.

    Just collected mine from Makro.

    Doesnt seem to want to play my DVDR+ that I've used to record from the TV. Pre-recorded DVDs play ok

    Gets to about 3/4 through the disc and gives up.

    Any help, tweaks please

    Other than that is a great machine for the price

    Cheers

    You have to make sure that you dont try to get too much on a dvdrw ie dont have quality setting more than 3hrs, cos it causes problems

    I bought one of the Tech lux ones and have one problem. It appears to me that I don't have the correct cable to connect the two screens.

    The cable has 2 leads at one end ( a black and a blue pin style) and the other end as ordinary red yellow and white leads ( i think they are called cinch connections)

    Did anyone else who bought this get the same - the 3 lead side doesn't seem to fit at all.

    Ay help appreciated

    if you live anywhere near walsall, there is a argos clearance centre selling twin screen in car dvd for 89.99 and you can plug a console into the one screen whilst the other child watches a film. I got it to keep the kids quiet on a long journey but let them watch ice age and they were laughing so loud i wish they had gob silencers aswell as headphones lol

    Hello All

    A very informative thread indeed, however may I kindly ask whether anyone can recommend a in car twin DVD 7inch system that can be used as a standalone and also play divx/xvids.

    Any info appreciated
