Polaroid 8-Inch Portable DVD Player - PDV 088PT
Screen Died
Bought this player just over 3 months ago and it started having problems where the screen wouldn't come on, but we were always able to get it going so we just assumed that it was a little buggy. Then about two weeks after the measly 90 day warranty went out the screen went with it. The screen doesn't come on at all now and when we called the support line they told us quite nicely that we were screwed and would have to buy another unit. Rest assured it will not be a Polaroid.<br /><br />So if you have *ANY* problems with this unit, return it and ask for another one before it is too late.<br /><br />Other than the screen going out I would not recommend this player for the following reasons:<br /><br />You cannot change the Discs when you have it turned around to put in a car carrying case. In order to change the discs you must remove the power cable and remove the player from the case and open it up...then close it back, return it to the case and re-attach the power cable. Tedious.<br /><br />Plus this unit has no battery memory. When it loses power (such as when you turn the car off to pump gas), it loses it's spot in the movie.<br /><br />The only way to get to the player's setup menu is via the remote, so don't lose it if you are unfortunate enough to have purchased this unit.<br /><br />The games are the equivalent of poorly done Atari 2600 games, and although they tell you that there are a bunch of games there are really only about 3 different kinds.  Those 3 are just repeated over and over and over again with slightly different graphics.
