This is a great looking player with seemingly solid construction however after approximately 45 minutes of use, the screen went blank. Thereafter, it would shut down after 20 seconds of play. I returned the item for replacement, hoping that I had just received a dud. The replacement player worked during its initial use however thereafter same problem as before. Moveover, the sound was never great - especially for use in the car. At full volume, it could hardly be heard above the road noise. I would not recommend this player but, as always, Amazon was super to work with and their customer service cannot be beat.
