there's a reason this item is discontinued. Though it looks beautiful it cannot survive the rigors of watching more than 5 DVDs. Mine will not turn on after maybe 5 hours of viewing. It's not the battery and it's not the power-plug -- there's something internally wrong.
CH-LDV1010RS vs. CH-LDV1010B
Some merchants on Amazon are advertising the silver Portable DVD Player CH-LDV1010B ( as pictured ) but shipping instead a black CH-LDV1010RS.
The CH-LDV1010RS is a slightly cheaper model. It is thinner but with a wider profile because the battery is located on the back of the unit instead of underneath the unit. Consider calling/emailing the merchant to confirm the exact model number before you order.

At least DataVision were good & easy about replacing/crediting me

we love it!
I bought the CH-LDV1010A from QVC for around 300$ (5 payments even!). I was really interested in the 10" size to reduce eye strain and think it is the perfect size. We have watched a couple movies and I really can find no faults. I have nothing to compare it to as far as portables go, but I can say the picture is clear and colors are vivid. Sound - is not like a stereo TV, but good for a portable player as far as I am concerned. I was not going to settle for less than my expectations - would have sent this back- but it is a keeper.
The player came with the battery charged, no wait to charge up....came with all the added cords I need. I did also purchase the Cyberhome case for this 10" player from Amazon and highly recommend that ... Read More
