We bought this portable player and travel bag for a great price. It worked great for our first trip. Second trip the battery, which was fully charged, ran out after about 1 hour. Since then it will not power up or run unless plugged into the wall or car outlet. Also, was unable to hook it up the our home television. The audio worked, but the video didn't. We've only had it 2 months, used it 2 times, and I'm returning it asap! Too bad Consumer Reports doesn't have more info on portable dvd players.
