Want to make
road trips with your family more bearable? Then you should consider installing
a portable DVD player in your car. When it comes to mobile entertainment
systems, you have a wide range of options to choose from, from the in-dash
player to the roof mount DVD player.
Wondering which of them should you choose? Here's a quick guide to help you
out.
Types of Car DVD Players
The following
are four of the most popular types of DVD players that you can install in your
car:
1. Flip-Down
DVD Players
Also known as
roof mounted DVD players, flip-down DVD players are basically attached to the
roof of the car in front of the passenger seats. They are usually seen on vans
and minivans, where there are lots of interior space. The positioning of this
particular type of DVD player is a huge advantage as it allows the people at
the back of the vehicle to see the screen without straining their neck and
feeling uncomfortable.
2. Headrest
DVD Players
A car headrest DVD player, on the other
hand, is installed in the back of the driver's and front passenger's headrest. One
advantage of having this DVD player is that it prevents the driver from being
distracted. Second is that it provides people at the backseat with a great
viewing experience because they don't have to twist their necks at an awkward
angle just to see the screen clearly. Another advantage is that this type of
portable DVD player is an excellent space-saver.
3. In-Dash
DVD Players
An in-dash
DVD player makes a great choice for car owners whose vehicles lack interior
space. As the name implies, this type of DVD player is installed in the dash of
the car. If you have a reversing camera, you can hook it up with the in-dash
DVD player. There are two types of in-dash car DVD players: the single DIN
system and the double DIN system.
The typical
double DIN system has a screen, player, and amplifier, which is usually
installed into the dashboard of the car. The single DIN system is basically the
same as a double DIN player but it only takes up half the space.
4. Rear view
Mirror DVD Player
A rear view
mirror DVD player is easy to install because all you have to do is attach it
the screen to the rear view mirror of the car. The screen can also be turned
off so only the mirror will remain visible. However, the downside of this type
of DVD player is that it can be distracting for the driver when they look at
the mirror.
