And, even if they offered affordable replacements they would probably outlast the DVD drive motor. (If I can afford it-Unfortunately I can't)I call it planned obsolescence simply because the company doesn't want to sell replacement batteries or power packs, and they certainly don't last long enough. I was really pleased and had high hopes for this MUSTEK MP72 player, and, I'd have paid what they asked for one that would last as long as my other consumer electronics, or the company would stand behind it if it didn't. .I guess I'm just going to have to accept the planned obsolescence of all DVD (and CD) players that I purchase. I look for the best price of course, and if I get a couple of years out of one before the battery, power pack and/or player quits working then I'll assume I got my money's worth and buy another. (Mine is getting sluggish on start up now and that's the warning that it will soon spin its last revolution) None of my drive motors from any manufacturer have made it to the three year mark when used regularly.
BTW, you can make your own SVCDs from your digital camera home movies. You need NERO with the MPEG plug, a CD burner, and ordinary cheap CDRs. Don't lose the remote. It comes with all the cables for hook up to a regular TV, as well as a 12V auto cord, wall charger/110V adapter, earbuds, and the remote. It plays DVDs, VCDs, and to my surprise, SVCDs. It will entertain the kids in the back seat, and you can also take it into the hotel room to play back movies on the hotel TV. Super Video CDs are a higher quality VCD, burned onto a regular CD, that have near DVD quality. Without it you can't do anything except play and stop.
The product was really good and I am enjoying hearing CDs on the system. It was well worth my money.
One of the few players that can play a varity of formats.Plays divx, mp4, avi, mpeg1,2, vcd, svcd besides dvd mp3 etc.Bought one new for $50 after MIR and was impressed by the fact that it can play most video formats. Not the best looking or solid player out there but cant beat the features and price.
Seller mail the wrong item for me, ut still not received respond from the seller, so no commended
