Does it have to be unstrapped from the headrest to insert a new DVD?

No, you can insert/eject while it is attached. Not sure if you live somewhere with cold winter temps but ours quit working a couple months after we bought it. Was fine at first but had a stretch of very cold weather & quit. Can't think of any other reason...

No it doesn't, and it also it doesn't play all dvds I bought some dvds from Walmart and they won't play in it but it they will play in my dvd player I have to my tv

No, but you do have to undo some Velcro, which partially holds it in place. I wouldn't recommend this set though, ours died.

you can remove the dvd drive and put a hdd caddy. I did it without problem.

Yes. You'll see on the front panel there is a slot on the right. The DVD drive goes behind that panel. You will however need a slim, slot-loading DVD drive to fit one in there.

No you don't need to. It fits just fine. It touches the back headrests. You could probably remove those. But I don't have by problems with mine. Love it.

Yes. CD/DVD insert sideways instead of flat. I find it is necessary to keep disc in place when closing door. Also after leaving DVD's in PC they begin to slow down and stop. It might be wise to remove discs when completed. I think it is the heat from PC. I played same DVD in separate DVD and had no problem.

Yes, as long as you don 't open the compartment that holds the DVD. Just turn the unit off on the side and clase the lid.

This was purchased as a gift for my infant grandson. I asked his mother your question. Here is her response: "Yes you just have to point it at the top of the dvd player/headrest. And it works perfectly".

No the drive is completely enclosed, but you should check to see if your unit is EIDE (ATA) or SATA (serial ATA) adapters are available should you need one.

After consulting my "inner translator" for an accurate rendering of your question, I moved my Sony portable to our garage downstairs. The DVD player immediately began a routine of push-ups and sit-ups! So...the answer, Kim, is: Yes, it IS fit in our car holder and should be in your car holder, too.

If you remove the mounting disc the factory adhesive will be shot.... but you can re-use the disc by applying a new adhesive.. (epoxy, vhb tape, velcro, etc.)

yes you just have to remove it to change or take out the cd. i use it in my minivans dvd slot

I had to JAM mine in and I don't think there was any hope of getting it out and the DVD player back in... it was a real tight fit.. almost like it wasn't meant to go in.

My experience is that you DO need to snap the CD in place. Just laying it in there and closing the door doesn't force it to seat properly. Teach her to do it by touch, and also to remove it by pushing down on the center hub.

To install the HD(s), start by removing both side panels. Slide the HD into position in the HD cage. You will see that two of the holes in the side of the HD will line up with holes on the outside of the HD cage insert a screw into both of those holes and tighten them up. To assure good rigidity, do the same thing on the other side of the case.\To install the DVD, start by carefully popping off the front bezel. It's got a wire attachment you don't want to rip out by being careless! Slide the DVD back into the slot. On the left side of the case, you'll see a black plastic bar, with a tab that says "Open" and "Lock." Move the tab to Open and gently swing out the tab. Align the side of the DVD with two pre-drilled holes up around where the plastic bar is. The DVD has holes too. When the holes are aligned, push the plastic bar back into place. There are two projections on that that will fit the holes and hold the drive. Push the tab to "Lock." On the other side of the case, find those two holes and screw a couple of screws into them to assure rigidity and safety of your drive. Good luck!

Yes, it has an envelope with a removable insert that holds the dvds. You fold yourcarse artwork in half, insert it in the envelope. Use the removable insert to slide the dvd into and insert that back in the same envelope. Hope this helps.
