Polaroid PDM-0723 7" Swivel Portable DVD Player
1 star is too much....DO NOT BUY!
Okay, I don't have this model what I do have is the junk PDM-2727. JUNK JUNK JUNK! It claims it plays DVD-R's. RIGHT....with pauses in between, frames skipping, and very rare is the volume dropped (no audio). Now, you all are sitting there \\"uh, perhaps you backed it up incorrectly\\" or the \\"buy better media\\" or even the \\"that is piracy\\"....NO! I backed it up fine with the appropriate PROGRAMS! Yes..not just ONE program about 5 programs. I even backed it up burning the WHOLE dvd with commercials and everything...same! I even bought better media...Memorex, Maxell, Fujifilm....SAME! Skipped frames. Freezing...you name it! AND NO...IT IS NOT PIRACY WHEN YOU OWN AND BACK UP! Oy...so yes...AVOID this \\"brand name\\" at all costs... <br /> <br />My troubleshooting advices from Polaroid ranged from: wrong media, incorrect burning programs, dirty lens/dvd's/cd's, inserting the media incorrectly!, wrong format (unlock format code...etc.), and my absolute favorite \\"Use the master DVD's rather than the copied versions.\\" <br /> <br />After reviewing their \\"what types of media it plays\\" according to their manual I find that their information is seriously incorrect. After calling them on it, they decided to call me 'ignorant' and refused to accept responsibility. Shame on them and shame on them again for sending me the same model 3 times and SHAME on me for putting up with this type of customer service. <br /> <br />On top of all this, the power button on the second unit is stuck inside the frame of the unit. <br /> <br />I am trading this in for a \\"Venturer\\" and seeing what my luck will be on this unit. I will keep you all posted...STAY TUNED!
