We bought this DVD player last Christmas. The battery never held a good charge. We never got through an entire DVD without the battery dying. I owned the player for 13 months when I could not get the player to work. I ordered a new battery and it still didn't work. I contacted polaroid and they said my warrenty was up and to add insult to injury, I could not return the battery. I will never buy another polaroid product. The only plus was, the sound was fairly decent when it did work
