 Great DVD Player December 6, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Great for use at home, in the car or at school. I have had a great experience with this product. I use it in my classroom by hooking it up to an LCD projector for presentations of video that has academic content. I will buy one for myself at home also.
 Doesn't work December 10, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
We purchased this DVD player for use in our car. It worked fine -- once. The next time we tried to use it, it worked for 15 minutes then it stopped and just made a rattling noise. After fully re-charging it, it still didn't work. We returned it to Toys R Us and got another one. This second DVD player had the exact same problem. We will now buy a Sony or other name brand DVD player.
Bought 3, 1 Worked December 12, 2005

Bought 3 for my kids at my local Toys R Us after seeing this online at Amazon. Luckily I tried them before Christmas morning (after reading a bad review posted here). After fully charging, the first one started fine and played a movie for about 12 minutes, then the screen went black (and never came back). The second one only played sound (no picture), and the third worked great for the 30 minutes I tried it. I took all three back and got a refund (I couldn't afford to take a chance on the good one going bad on the second movie). My question: Doesn't Toys R Us test this crap before they put it on their shelves?
 I think I figured it out. December 30, 2005

I bought this DVD for my granddaughter for Christmas. My daughter called a couple of days later and said that it wouldn't work. After charging it would only play for a short time and the screen would go black. I went and got it to send it back, but I decided to read the manual and play around with it a little first. It stated in the manual that the "Ni-MH batter will not be fully charged the first time, so the discharging time will be short. The battery will take a full charge after four to five times of charging and dishcarging." I have been charging and discharging it since yesterday. It is now charging for the foruth time. After the third charge it played for 2.5 hours before discharging. The manual also says that after a period of storage of if not used for a period, you have to repeat the steps to get the battery back to normal charging conditions. Each time I have charge the player it plays for a longer time (so far). I think that must have something to do with it. Hope this helps.
Santa gift didn't work Christmas morning January 6, 2006

We charged the battery per manufacturer manual. Turned it on Christmas Eve before setting under tree to make sure worked. Next morning, when my daughter got up, I turned it on again (she hadn't even laid a finger on it). The picture was so faint you couldn't even see the movie or the settings screens. We could hear the movie, just not see it. Luckily, I distracted my daughter with other gifts & hid this one (returning it to Amazon that week) & bought a brand-name DVD at a local store to replace the one Santa brought. She didn't seem to notice the switch, but it was a big disappointment (it looked so nice on Amazon & didn't look cheap or flimsy out of the box. We tried charging it again, thinking maybe the battery wasn't fully-charged, but still no luck on getting a picture. DO NOT BUY this DVD player. It's also not top-loading, the screen pops up on a hinge and you put the DVD under the screen. I had expected a little slot at the top of DVD player that accepted DVDs like the car CD player, but I was mistaken.
