Description
The Audiovox Portable DVD Player is a compact personal media device designed for watching movies or TV on the go. Its small built-in LCD screen that folds over the attached DVD drive made the piece of technology a popular choice for road trips, general travel, and home use before smartphones came about. With a simple charge before using, you could have your favorite physical media go anywhere with you, a concept that was foreign and highly sought after in the age before streaming made that the norm.
ID: A small, black Portable DVD Player sits folded open displaying a blank screen and a closed disc drive that’s connected by a hinge below it, with the word, “Audiovox,” written across it. Next to the disc drive, there is a menu of buttons, including play, pause, stop, skip forward, rewind, fast forward, and fast rewind. Separate from the player itself, there is a small remote with those same buttons and additional ones as well.
Physical Dimensions: 8in L x 6.5in W x 2in H
