Audiovox D1810 8-Inch Portable DVD Player

first of all amazon customer service is outstanding (5 stars) but i can't say the same for the audio product (8" portable)....
1st one quit after 2-3 dvd(s)...... amazon replaced w/another unit as the first & it played 3-5 dvd(s) before taking a dump.....
PROBLEM: PLAYER WOULD START & THEN STAY ON "LOADING"..... NEITHER THE REMOTE NOR THE DECK KEYS WOULD GET A RESPONSE (CHANGE MODE) NOT EVEN SHUT THE PLAYER OFF

We bought this item in June. It worked fine on all our trips this summer. We put it away for a few months and pulled it out again for a December vacation. It was having a hard time reading the first disc we put in it. Then it just stopped working. I called Audiovox and was informed that the DVD player only has a 90 day warranty. To fix it will most likely cost as much as a new one and we have to pay all the shiping and handling costs. I wish that I had known that the warranty time was a short 90 days and that the life span of our DVD player was only six months. Buyer beware!

it needs an operation manual!! It took a while to figure things out. I shouldn't have to do this. Someone isn't doing their job. I own all kinds of electronic stuff and Sony seems to have the best product manuals. AudioVox needs to get a clue in this department. The manual seems to have been put together at the last moment and just as an after thought. The player seems to work good..and has a great picture
