How to Buy a Car DVD Player

Monday, April 7th, 2008

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!

Steps:

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 $100 to $3,000 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 Anything else that is not as advanced will simply be outdated.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 $250) 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 ($400 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 Buying Guide

The Basics: Car DVD Players

Car video players, car DVD players, and mobile multimedia refer to the vast variety of entertainment systems available for today’s automobiles. We are way beyond car stereos now, with surround sound options, video capabilities including DVD-Video and DVD-Audio, and security and navigation systems.

Until recently, the only option for visual entertainment was a television and VCR for rear-seat passengers. Today, in-dash LCDs, DVD-Video playback for movies and navigation information, and complete surround sound systems are becoming everyday add-ons. To make these systems easy and safe for the driver to operate, single controllers are available; these are what we call multimedia systems. Who needs a drive-in theater when you can have a driving-around theater?

How to Shop

A multimedia system can contain a built-in video monitor. Some are motorized to disappear into your dashboard, and others designed to tilt away from the driver to avoid distractions while driving. Laws are in place to prevent drivers from being able to view the monitor while a car is in motion. Other systems only use rear-seat viewable monitors. These are fine for entertaining passengers on a long trip, but obviously, they’ve ruled out driver navigation use. Multimedia systems can even include a TV tuner, with station presets and station scanning to help out when you’re traveling to a new broadcast area. Any system that incorporates a CD and/or DVD changer is a space and money saver. However, these might alter the systems’ ultimate functionality.

There are some systems that, combined with rear-seat headphone monitors, allows multizone playback, with the rear-seat passengers enjoying a DVD movie while a music CD plays for the people up front. Many multimedia systems include an AM/FM tuner as well. Multimedia systems are also in charge of digital signal processing, including amplification, equalization, and decoding of Dolby Digital and DTS signals from a DVD. One manufacturer, anticipating the 5.1 surround sound dilemma faced in most cars, mounts a small, amplified center-channel speaker on the dash-mounted unit, since most cars lack an easy place to install this center channel.

There is one important thing to consider when you’re purchasing a multimedia system. The terminology varies from system to system, manufacturer to manufacturer. Some systems are only the controllers that require additional purchases of the monitors, signal processors, and DVD or VCR players. Make sure you’re purchasing everything you’ll need to complete your system.

Glossary

Antishock Memory

A feature of DVD, CD and MiniDisc players that stores audio data in a memory buffer that is output if the main signal mistracks.


Antitheft Protection

A variety of ways a system attempts to prevent theft, including a detachable faceplate, a masking face plate, or systems that will not operate if disconnected from the battery without a custom code.


Changers

A CD, MiniDisc, DVD or MP3 unit that handles more than one disc–a multiple player.


Digital/Analog Tuner

An analog tuner uses conventional circuitry with a tuning knob or thumbwheel and pointer to show you the frequency to which you are tuned. A digital tuner, more accurately a synthesized tuner, permits using a digital frequency read-out and presetting radio stations for touch tuning.


Direct Access

Using a numeric keypad, you simply press the corresponding key to hear a specific track.


Distortion

This is a measurement of the deviation from the original signal to the reproduced signal. Distortion is a harsh sounding artifact that alters, in a negative way, the signal.


Dolby Digital

Formerly AC-3, Dolby Digital is a method developed by Dolby Laboratories to digitally encode up to 5.1 discrete channels of high-fidelity sound in a single digital bitstream. The .1 channel refers to the “low frequency effects” (LFE) channel that carries only low frequency information, which is usually directed to the subwoofer upon playback. The encoded signal can be any number of channels, from a mono signal to the maximum of 5.1 (front right, center, front left, surround right, surround left, subwoofer) although it has now become common to use Dolby Digital to refer to any 5.1 signal.


Driver

The element of a speaker that actually produces the sound.


DTS

Stands for Digital Theater Sound and comes from the company of the same name. DTS accomplishes much the same thing as Dolby Digital, but it does so slightly differently. The two systems are incompatible when it comes to decoding, but after the signal is decoded, it is otherwise the same to the receiver, allowing many new receivers to incorporate both. Thus far, DTS has not made much impact on the home market, and minimal software is available that uses the system. The system was originally engineered for movie theaters.


Dynamic Range

The difference between the loudest peak and softest passage. It can also refer to the spectrum between the edge of distortion at the high end of a product’s performance and the product’s noise floor.


Equalizer

A circuit or program that changes the frequency response of a signal, boosting or cutting selected ranges from the overall response.


FM Modulation

For someone unwilling to remove their factory installed equipment, an FM modulator takes the audio output of an FM-modulated add-on and generates a radio frequency (RF) signal that is received by your car’s FM radio tuner.


Frequency Response

Also listed as Frequency range, is the spectrum of frequencies produced by a product, within a certain tolerance. For example, a frequency response of 30Hz to 18kHz (+/- 3dB) means a product produces all frequencies from 30Hz to 18kHz without dropping or peaking three decibels. The signal below and above that range does drop off more than 3dB, so the range is really the usable spectrum of sound.


Head Unit

The usable part of a component that is mounted in the dashboard is commonly referred to as a head unit. It controls the components, either internally or remotely installed, such as a changer mounted in the glove compartment or trunk.


Impedance

Impedance is commonly listed from 4 to 8 ohms, with some ranging from 2 to 16 ohms. This is a technical description of the amount of inductive resistance a speaker offers to the flow of electrical signals from a receiver. Under normal circumstances, impedance bears no relation to sound quality, but many receivers need a minimum of 4 ohms to work properly. A good receiver may work with 2 ohms, but other receivers or amplifiers will automatically shut off or blow a fuse. If you intend to use two pairs of speakers in parallel from the same terminals, choose loudspeakers rated at least 8 ohms. Also note that speaker impedance ratings are nominal, meaning that a speaker may actually fall below its rated impedance at some frequencies.


OEM (original equipment manufacturer)

This refers to the factory-installed system that comes with a car. Many car manufacturers are using name brand products, either standard or part of an upgrade package.


Player

Whereas a changer plays many discs, a player can hold and play only one at a time.


Programmable

Customizing the playback order of tracks on a CD, MiniDisc, MP3 player or even a cassette by storing your own play list, or using a random function that scrambles the order, or selecting one track to repeat.


Signal-to-noise ratio

The ratio between the audio signal and noise floor. A low number indicates that the noise and music are closer together–the higher the number, the less noise is apparent.


Surround Sound

This covers many different formats that play sound through multiple speakers to simulate the natural sounds from many locations.
