| frenchcx's Full Review: Cyberhome CH-LDV 700B 7 in. Portable DVD Player |
I returned the first unit to Radio Shack less than a month after purchase.I paid $229 will get a $30 mail-in rebate. The problem was with the battery/power supply. There is evidently a design problem with this part of the unit. A fresh charge on the battery allows it to play less than 2 hours. Example: On a fresh charge I played 1 hour of a movie then shut off the unit after checking the battery status - which showed half a charge left. The next day I went to play the rest of the movie and the battery was dead. Nothing. I was contemplating buying a second battery as a back-up, but after noting the price of nearly $90, I will not spend almost half what I paid for the entire unit just for a battery. Not worth it.Perhaps the best advice I read about this and similar units concerning the depletion of the battery while in the unit is: TAKE THE BATTERY OUT OF THE UNIT WHEN NOT IN USE OR NOT BEING CHARGED.
