I should have listen to the other reviewer who say that even at volume ' 1 ' this thing be too loud . there be a digital volume that go from like 0 to 50 or something . I have never try over 3 . if the kid be sleep , 1 be too loud to watch a movie .  also no input , so you can not run a VCR or something through it .  the menu be a bit confusing . it take several minute to figure out how to watch pg movie or enable the surround speaker .  do not throw away the doc , you 'll need the password pin .
