Check the cord??, November 2, 2005
This review is from: Polaroid PDV-0701A 7" Portable DVD Player (Electronics)
The player works okay but we have had problems with the cord, and had to order a new one. It has been an extra expence, we didn't plan to replace the cord in less than a year. Even with that our girls have been very rough on the player (dropping it, spilling stuff on it...) and it doesn't seem to have any problems. We would buy this item again if we were sure our first cord was just faulty and not something that happens all the time.

Basic, but works well, August 13, 2006
This review is from: Polaroid PDV-0701A 7" Portable DVD Player (Electronics)
I bought this for travel, and it has cured hours of boredom on the plane. We also use it in our bedroom.
Pro:
-Inexpensive
-Good balance of screen size, weight, bulkiness
-No difficulties playing discs or reliability
-Surprising picture quality
-Options you'd expect like closed captioning
-Using the headphone jack automatically mutes the speakers as a courtesy to those around you
Con:
-I find that the battery is inadequate and can run out on long movies, partial charges or when using scan, rewind, and other similar features a lot
-Power switch can be turned on accidentally as there is no hold switch that's common on most portable electronics
-Only one headphone jack
-No remote control
Tip:
-I think power lasts the longest if you leave a spare external battery connected at all times... waiting until the main battery dies and then plugging in the battery I think works less effectively
Bottom line: a good item that I recommend, but only if you buy at least one extra external battery.
