4 Questions To Ask About Your New Car TV DVD Player

DVD players, TVs, and touch screen panels are becoming all the more common in today's automobiles. This is due to the fact that technological advances have taken place at a rapid rate over a relatively short period of time. This occurrence means that the components necessary to produce such entertainment items can be made quickly, inexpensively, and much smaller than in the past.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

If you are looking to get a dual DVD player TV for your vehicle, or if you are to have one, here are several important questions that you need to ask yourself before you purchase or install a new unit.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

1. Does it do everything I need it to?

If you've managed to find an item that you're interested in, make sure that it has all of the features you want. If it doesn't, look elsewhere. Don't get pressured by a salesperson or buy on impulse.

2. Does it come with all of the components it needs for it to work properly?

Many aftermarket units will come with a variety of components that are necessary for optimal functionality. However, some models may need additional pieces which have to be purchased separately. Make sure you have everything you need before you get home and try to install it yourself or try to have someone install it for you.

3. What kind of movies can be played on this particular unit? Does it do anything else besides play movies?

Before you purchase this particular type of new toy for your car, you need to know what type of format the player will play. Is it an international model that only plays a certain type of DVD? Is it a region-free model which can play any type of DVD? Does it only play DVDs or can it play Blu-Ray movies as well? Is there anything else that can be used for besides movies? Some examples include, streaming Web content, games, satellite radio and as a music player replacement.

4. Will the screen size desired fit into the area it is meant for?

The small versions of dual DVD TV models meant for use in cars come in a variety of sizes that are meant for different locations. Some of these locations include in the seat backs, in the back of the front headrests, or in the dashboard at various positions. Make sure the model that you purchase is appropriate for what you want to do with it.

Buying: How to Buy a Car DVD Player

Nowadays, there isn't a home without a DVD player, but one of the latest and coolest ways to electronically enhance your life is installing one into your car! Car DVD players come in all different varieties and prices, but even the cheapest ones will send you into movie viewer heaven!

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

Steps:

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

1. Look for a car DVD player that you can afford. Car DVD players can be simple or very extravagant. Portable units that sit between the seats and plug into the cigarette lighter are generally more reasonable as opposed to a full-blown in-car theater system (from 0 to ,000 and more).

2. Most people who are looking to add electronics to their vehicle will want to future-proof their purchase by choosing car DVD players. Anything else that is not as advanced will simply be outdated.

3. Inspect your car for the best place to install a car DVD player. You'll want your car DVD player to take advantage of the best-quality inputs available.

4. Bring a DVD with you when you shop. There are three competing, incompatible formats: DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM. Even if a player says it takes your format, make sure to test it.

5. Buy an all-in-one car DVD player or individual components if your budget is small (under 0) and your needs are simple. An all-in-one unit includes a videocassette player (VCP) or a DVD player, speaker and screen.

6. Component systems tap into your vehicle's stereo and pipe sound directly to headphones for quiet viewing. Most high-end car stereo retailers carry these systems. Choose a component system (0 and up) where a single video source can run several screens, usually liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). The car DVD player screens can pop out of the dashboard, drop down from the car's ceiling or mount in headrests.

7. Make sure any component system is expandable, so you can adjust your system in the future for more or different screens and input devices.

8. A diversity antenna, also known as a dual-antenna, is used for better TV reception when the car is moving and is recommended.

9. Making sure that your vehicle's electrical system can handle the demands of a mobile entertainment system is very important. You may need a professional installer to determine this for you.

10. Remember that the audio encoding-Dolby Digital or digital theater system (DTS)-on the DVD itself is critical.

Tips: Car DVD players can also play audio CDs. If you burn CDs on your computer, bring along a homemade disc to test it.

-A laptop computer with a DVD drive can serve as an entertainment system for smaller cars with one viewer. Mobile entertainment systems are theft targets. Invest in a good car alarm.

Warnings: Front-seat viewing is illegal, not to mention idiotic while a car is in motion. Make sure to install your car DVD player in a proper place!

Car DVD Player 101 - What Is ATSC?

In this episode of Car DVD player 101, we are going to have a discussion over the question: what is ATSC? How does it work in a car DVD player.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

ATSC stands for "Advanced Television Systems Committee." Actually it is a set of standards on how sound and video are encoded and transmitted, which now includes 18 commonly used digital formats.T he United States is the first country in North America to quit analog broadcasting signal which provides a poor quality of picture and sound compared with even the lowest quality standard of ATSC. Canada and Mexico are now considering make a sweeping switch from analog signals to ATSC.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

HDTV is the top level of ATSC standards, but whether you could see a high-definition picture and hear a clear sound depends on two factors. First the station that you followed should be broadcasting a high-definition signal that meet ATSC standards, secondly you have to have the right device to receive and view it which means that you should get a overall picture on the equipment that you shelled out money for.

Vertical Scan Lines
Vertical scan lines refer to the number of horizontal lines a television can display to create an image. As the number of lines increase, more information is displayed, resulting in better picture quality. Traditional analog TVs can display approximately 480 lines, while high-definition television can display up to 1080 lines.

Horizontal Pixels
Each horizontal line in a TV is made up of individual dots (pixels). The higher the number of pixels, the finer the TV picture becomes. Horizontal pixel measurements using today's technology can range from 250 for a VCR to as much as 500 for a DVD player. Typical digital TV broadcasts have at least 640 pixels.

Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio identifies the ratio of the TV screen's width over its height. A 16:9 aspect ratio refers to a wide-screen picture format, while a 4:3 refers to a standard TV format.

Scan Mode
Interlaced scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with alternating lines of information and is the cause for flickering. Progressive scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with consecutive lines of information that results in flicker-free picture quality.

Frame Rate
Motion picture on your TV is generated by a series of still pictures that changes from picture to picture at a very fast rate. This rate is measured by the number of still pictures (frames) displayed within one second of time. The higher the frame-rate, the smoother the picture displayed.

In our next topic we are going to learn more about how HDTV works.

Car Portable DVD Player

If you spend a lot of time in the car, your kids are probably not shy about letting you know how bored they are. When they get bored, they want you to entertain them. If you don't, they may entertain themselves by doing something that you don't want them doing while you drive, or at any other time for that matter. Short trips are easy to handle, but if they have to be in the car for more than twenty minutes, and you do this quite often, you should consider something like the car portable DVD player to keep them happy, busy, and content on any trip you have to take.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

Some cars, vans, or even some trucks come with a DVD player installed. This is a great bonus, but is not always the best choice. If you have a new car or van with this inside, you don't have to to think about getting a car portable DVD player for your kids in the car. If you have more than one kid but can only play one movie, however, you may run into some problem. If you are lucky they will like the same things, but that is not usually the case. You may want to get a portable one that you can give to one child while the other enjoys the installed in your vehicle.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

You can find a great car portable DVD player for a very good price these days. Look at the features and specs before you decide which one you want to buy. What you want to look for is how long the battery is going to last each trip, and if you can plug it into your car for extra power if the battery dies. Also look for refresh rate, which determines how clear and continuous the picture and movie are going to be. Very cheap DVD players are going to show a choppy movie, so keep that in mind.

No matter what brand you choose, one thing that is better about the car portable DVD player is that you can take it out of the car. This means your kids have something to do when you go visit relatives for the holidays. They can get overwhelmed with a lot of relatives they don't know, and a quite time in a room with a movie is just the thing that can help them calm down and relax. They can also use these at home when the family TV is taken by someone else. These have to be charged to be used, but you will find that they are useful other places than in the car.

You don't have to be a kid to enjoy the car portable DVD player. Adults can use these too. They are great when you are going on a trip when you are not driving, like a bus or train trip. You can also use them in your home when the kids are watching a special movie, but you have no interest in being in the room. You can sneak away and enjoy your own movie. These portable DVD players are cheaper than ever, and just as useful as you can imagine. Family time is great, but a person needs some me time once in a while. If you have kids, or if you love movies yourself, this is always a great investment.

Portable Car DVD Player - 5 Money Saving Options

There are many portable car DVD player choices available and each has its own advantages and potential disadvantages. Every vehicle is unique, as is each driver, but the choices listed below are very accommodating and I'm certain you'll come across one that is right for you and your vehicle.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

Mobile DVD Player Case

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

This is probably the right choice for those on the lookout for a cheap car DVD player set up. Cases are essentially similar to a laptop case. You just place your portable player inside the case, and secure it to the car's front seat backs for instant rear seat screening. Just fasten the top section of the case to the seat back and flip down the horizontal bottom part. The player sits on top and is secured into place. This is a reliable choice if you already have a portable player that has reasonable skip prevention technology. With this set up, your existing portable DVD player becomes your car DVD player, and you can bring it with you when you leave the car. Although simple to install and extremely inexpensive, car cases are not for front seat screening.

Dual Screen Car DVD Players

Dual Screen Car DVD players also mount to the front seat backs and are excellent for back seat viewing. Dual screen car devices have the player built into one of the 2 pieces. The second screen acts as a detached receiver which gets the signal from the primary unit's IR transmitter. With their own external speakers and headphone input jacks, each users can exercise a fair amount of power over their immediate viewing environment, although, they will have to fight over the lone remote control. As with the first alternative, battery performance is a restraint, although nearly all come with the requisite adapters for in-car charging.

Tablet DVD players for cars

Tablet DVD players are simply portable players that do not fold. Think laptop vs. tablet PC. It is all in all the same machine with a modified layout. The tablet DVD mounts flush against the seat back and the disc loader door is located either on top or on one of the sides. External speakers are typically flush mounted on the surface of the component. Tablet players often come equipped with dual wireless headsets.

In-dash car DVD

In-dash players can be had in several styles. With or without an included viewing screen, in-dash is the most customized option to be had. You will need a big enough opening in the console and a reasonably generous passenger area to install one with a screen. When not being used, the screen, normally 5 to 7 inch wide, folds into the unit itself. You will see in dash units described with either a single or double din label. Very simply put, a double din unit is 4 inches tall and a single is 2 inches tall. In dash portable DVD can be had with and without a TV tuner.

Flip Down Portable Car DVD

As an alternative, you can put in a flip down portable car DVD screen from the roof and link it to an in-dash unit via a built in IR or Bluetooth transmitter. You can really go full function with roof mounting all-in-one systems that bring in DVD, Game console, FM transmitter and TV Tuner. A lot of families love these and usually mount them to gain rear seat viewing and/or gaming.

Car Portable DVD Players For Travel

People who like to travel tend to enjoy the portable DVD player. Now that they are made with very good picture quality and at least a five hour battery life, enjoyment of your favorite DVD's is still great. Couples who plan on traveling to places where TV reception can be a bit iffy know that they can still enjoy watching DVD's that they bring with them or they can go to the local video store and rent newer up-to-date ones. Most portable DVD players are simple to operate, very sturdy, give you a good picture quality along with ample viewing time.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

Some people are opposed to the portable players because most weigh in at about three pounds making them a bit heavy to tote around and the sound quality is not always that good. The picture quality might be great but when it comes to the sound, but can be a bit rough. Many of the manufacturers make the portable DVD player so that it will only accept their adapter causing the user a little bit of grief if they need to replace it while on their trip.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

College students like the unit even with this problem because they find getting a new adapter on campus is not that difficult. It is very advisable to invest in a cigarette-lighter adapter especially if you are traveling a lot. It really does not hurt to have an extra battery just in case you plan on using your unit for an extended period of time. You wouldn't want to find that you're watching your favorite movie and your player dies.

Buying A Car DVD Player - 7 Questions To Ask When Purchasing

Car in dash DVD players and other automotive DVD players are appearing more often in vehicles these days as a larger number of cheap car DVD players appear on the market. But sometimes it is hard for a person to know where to start looking for a car DVD player ad what to look for.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

The first point you will have to consider after you have decided to buy an automotive DVD player or component is whether to purchase it online or from a 'bricks and mortar' car audio store. While you are able to deal with salespeople face to face at the 'bricks and mortar' store you may find you get a much better price online from an electronics wholesaler. You will still need to ask several key questions, regardless of your decision.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

Will I get all the components I need?

There is nothing worse than paying good money for a car dvd player, going to install it and finding you still need to buy the speakers, TV tuners, TV antennas, wires, brackets or other components before it can be installed. After all, what is the point of buying an in dash car TV DVD player if you don't get the tuner or aerial to make it work.

This depends on where the car DVD player is being purchased. If purchased from a bricks and mortar store then it should be offered by the vendor as electronic goods cost more at stores than they do online.

Can I connect my USB devices or flash memory cards to the player?

More music and data you want shown in vehicles is stored on computers and USB and an increasing number of car DVDs have a plug-in function. These USB ports can also be a useful point to install Bluetooth cellular car phone kits.

What formats does it support?

Will it support MP3s or MPEGs? What about AVI files? If you are choosing a system that will accept USBs and flash memory cards it is always good to check that the system will accept the format of programs you store most often on flash.

What region DVD's does this player accept?

DVD's are becoming increasingly multi-regional but that doesn't necessarily mean that every car DVD player will play every DVD. It is always a good idea to check which region of DVDs you are actually to make sure your dvd player car audio in dash unit is compatible with your collection.

How big is the screen?

The cost of LCD screens have come down a lot in last 12 months, as seen by Panasonic's 150-inch LCD screen showcased at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, which cost the same as the 109 inch screen the company put on display at the show the previous year. As a result, in dash car TV DVD players with 6.5 and 7 inch screens are considered to be the norm, and should be extremely affordable.

It's got a screen, but is it a touch screen?

We all know what a touch screen is, it is one of the things that has made the iPod such a big hit globally. Touch screens are becoming increasingly common and automotive dvds with touch screens should not be astronomically priced. After all, there is nothing worse than hunting for a tiny knob when trying to change music whilst on the road.

Purchasing a car TV DVD player is a big undertaking. Time spent working out what the DVD will be used for and finding out information about the intended purchase would not be wasted.

Car DVD Player Mysteries - What is PTY?

Many people who are considering purchasing an aftermarket car DVD player soon find themselves quickly confused by all the acronyms or abbreviations that see in an online add for some whiz-bang player.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

here's really no mystery to what many mean and just a couple minutes research can reveal just what the ad for the player is saying. In this regard one of several car DVD player mysteries: What is PTY? is quickly answered with just a brief read through this article.

Car Tvs And Dvd Players

To begin with, today's modern aftermarket car DVD players come with a variety of functions and features.

In addition to standard radio, TV tuner and DVD/CD/CD-RW (compact disc, rewritable) and other disc-playing and decoding capabilities, the player might also feature GPS navigation, Bluetooth communication, picture-in-picture (PIP) and other convenience features. One of them is PTY. But, what is it and how does it work?

Simply put, PTY is a feature offered in many car DVD players sold in a number of countries that allow the user of the device to search for radio broadcast channels of certain types.

For example, say somebody likes talk radio or even classical music. In countries that require broadcast signals to contain identifying signals such as the programming format of the station (and most do), the car DVD player will be able to pick out only those stations featuring those formats.

In the United States, one large domestic auto manufacturer has offered a variation of PTY in certain of its car radios for years, and it works well at picking out stations that broadcast their format types through their signals.

Now that many countries are making the move completely to digital broadcast, the amount of information that can be contained in a typical signal is almost limitless. PTY, therefore, will be seen with greater frequency in the years to come.

Many aftermarket car DVD players sold in countries where the broadcast standard is DVB-T ("Digital Video Broadcast?Terrestrial") offer the PTY function as standard equipment.

This standard isn't available in North America, where ATSC has replaced the older NTSC standard, so always make sure that any aftermarket player being purchased comes with the right broadcast signal tuners for the country in which you live.

PTY can be a very convenient feature for those users who are traveling through areas in which they're not familiar with the radio stations and what their programming formats are.

Going from London, England over to Liverpool might mean having to look for your favorite ska or jazz music in the new city. Well, with PTY it's as simple as using the touchscreen or the remote, selecting the kind of music you'd like the player to find and then letting it locate a station playing that kind of music.

If there are problems with PTY it mainly has to do with the function's occasional inability to easily identify stations that don't clearly broadcast the right kind of information in their signals.

PTY can sometimes hang up on one station, in which case it then needs to be manually re-tasked. It's really no big deal, though. So; if you're in the market for a good player, know that you can find one that'll find you all the stations you want with a simple command.
