RCA RC5400P Portable DVD Player
Good Unit but Can Cause DVD Wear
I purchased this unit from another retailer about a month ago and just started using is pretty heavy in the last two weeks.  I was watching a brand new DVD yesterday and could not figure out why the disk stopped playing and became distorted.  When I examined the disk, I noticed that it was developing wear marks on the edges but I could not figure out how.  Then I noticed that the wear marks were in the same position as the white felt pads. I believe these were designed to keep the disk from scratching if it was bounced due the portable nature of the unit.  However, either due to the internal heat of the unit or whatever may be the case the pads seem to actually touch the disk and wear off onto it.  I could not remove the marks and luckly was able to get a replacement for the disk.  I also returned the player in hopes of finding another unit that was designed without these type of pads.  It is a shame as overall the unit is pretty good for the price.
