Panasonic DVD-LS55 7 in. Portable DVD Player

This was a great purchase. We did a lot of research and decided that we would purchase a player that had a longer battery life. I don't know that it ever lasted as long as it stated but it did last a long time. We were very careful with the unit because it cost a little more than the average player. Then with no warning we were watching it, turned it off to get out of the car and it never would turn on again. An error code would appear. The unit was a little over a year old, so out of the warranty period. Panasonic would not repair, only offered to send us a repaired unit for 190.00 plus shipping with the same wonderful 90 day warranty. I think we will pass. I can buy a new unit with an extended warranty for that amount of money. And if my first unit did not work, how could they expect me to buy another one??? If you look at other reviews for Panasonic players, Panasonic is aware of this problem and is not doing anything to compensate their victims.
