You can buy an extra battery for this player I just called and ordered one from phillips customer care dept.1-800-531-0039.
hopefully its the one. I gave her her the model and serial # for the player.Its too bad i had to order another one but they really only last 2.5 hrs.
I recieved the battery 2 wks ago and its the correct one for the player.
It will come in handy for my trip to italy.

After an exhausting week of researching portable DVD, we chose this one. Actually mine is the MPD720, I beleive it comes with the travel case, but the same as the MPD700. We looked at Sony, Initial, Panasonic, Cyberhome, etc, etc, etc,
The features on the Maganovox are great, picture is awesome, sound is to be expected from 1" speakers, but okay. Battery life I get a about 2 1/2" hours. Not once have we had trouble, no glitches, freezing up, or anything!!!
We have had this player for a couple of months now and have been on several LONG trips and have used it a great deal! Still working perfect! GOOD JOB MAGNAVOX!
This also seems to be the most durable of ALL the players!

Bought this portable DVD player because of its many features. Now it is saying "Loading" or "No-disk" indefinately when you try and put a dvd in. Basically a big piece of junk. We always housed it in a protective case and it never has been abused. It was a nice unit while it lasted. Haven't called customer service but I know what's going to happen.

Ok. We bought the MPD-700 last year (May 28, 2004). It suddenly stopped working two weekends ago (January 29, 2005 - when we had no power due to an infamous "Georgia Ice Storm" and the kids needed to watch Barney and Dora the Explorer). The unit either says "Loading" while spinning endlessly, or says "No Disc" and stops spinning. I called Magnavox customer support and they first said that it was outside of the 90-day warranty. I told them that I had the warranty right there in my hand and that true, the *first* part of the warranty expired after 90-days, but that the second part of the warranty (where you send it back to them for a replacement for a "preset exchange fee") extended through 1-year post-purchase. After being put on hold for five minutes, they came back and said, oh yeah, you are right. I asked them what the "present exchange fee" was, and they said $250.00! This is more than what I paid for my unit! Needless to say, I will never buy another Phillips (parent of Magnavox) or Magnavox product again. I will be contacting my lawyer to see if my state (Georgia) laws provide any greater warranty protection than what came with the unit. I would not recommend Magnavox to anyone!

I've had a problem with one of the DVD players. I notified Electronics Expo twice and you once. To date nothing has been done to resolve the problem. I'm very unhappy as it was a Christmas gift, ordered and paid for well in advance. After this experience I will be reluctant to purchase anything of this expense from Amazon again.
