Dual Screen Car DVD Player

Player Installation
There are, essentially, two options when selecting the player.  An in-dash DVD player allows users to replace their current CD player with the DVD player and comes with an in-dash screen. When using the remote, this allows users to pop in the DVD like a CD, and play the movie with the touch of a button. A second option is to install a small dvd player specifically made to go under one of the car seats.  This type of player often times is very affordable and also provides for the player to be placed in an area that is not as intrusive on the passengers.

Screen Installation
The two additional screens install on the back of the driver and passenger’s headrests. In fact, the headrest is typically replaced with a headrest that has the screen already built in. If the semi-permanent installation does not sound appealing, users can purchase a dual screen DVD player that is more portable.  With this type of screen, Velcro straps are needed in order to attach it to the back of the headrest.  The most common screen sizes are 7 inches.

Whatever the purpose, a dual screen DVD player helps bring entertainment on the road. Prices start around $100, and can vary in price depending on brand name, equipment accessories, and DVD quality. Before purchasing any dual screen player, users should determine their unique needs to avoid wasting money on a player that fails to meet their demands or one that requires the purchase of additional equipment just to utilize certain features.  For most active families, though, the dual screen DVD player is a great option, just remember to pack enough DVDs!
