Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
I would recommend this DVD player. I feel that it does all the things that I would expect from a portable player. Currently offers rebate.
I must say I'm impressed with this DVD player. I have not had too much experience with Polaroid and I took a chance. I bought this for entertainment on an airline trip and I thought it would be a good way to pass the time. I plugged in my headphones, popped in a DVD and I was on my way. Very enjoyable with pretty good sound (with the headphones.) Speakers are a tad tinny otherwise. I also like that this player supports JPEG so you can view your picture CDs as well. Although Polaroid says the battery lasts 3 hours, I watched 2 movies on the plane and it never gave out. I would guess the battery time is closer to 4 hours and I will continue to experiment to see. The latch appears a tad flimsy and I would think if you are not careful, you could break it. The only other quirk I found is that it sometimes had the annoying habit of turning on subtitles and I could not turn them off in the DVD menu. In all fairness, not sure if this was a fault of the particular DVD or the player, as I could turn them off with the remote which comes with the unit. Also, this did not happen with all DVDs...seemed to be with older DVDs. All in all, I'm quite impressed with my purchase and I would purchase it again. I intend to get a case to protect the player and all the accessories (remote, battery, power cord with adapter, dc adapter for the car, a/v cable, headphone splitter.)
