Panasonic Portable DVD Player
Panasonic DVD-LS86 8.5-Inch Portable DVD Player
You get beautiful images while watching movies on a dimly lit airplane, or when you’re relaxing in the sun at a resort or other outdoor spot. When you’re in the mood for a movie, this versatile player can play back many different types of prerecorded DVDs, including DVD-RAM/-R/-RW1 and DVD+R/+RW1 discs.
Panasonic Portable DVD Player, the operating manual states that the battery on this unit recharges in 7 hours, when turned off, at 68 degrees F.
At a brightness level of “0,” the manual states that battery life drops to 7 hours; most users would compromise for in the trade-off between visibility and battery life during the day. “0″ is noticeably brighter than “Moonlight”. Try tolerated “Moonlight” in a brightly lit indoor location to extend the battery life; it’s rather like watching a film in a discount, second-run theater that turns the projector brightness down to conserve the bulb life.
Finally, the manual states a battery life of 5 hours with the bightness on “5.” You might need this if you want to watch movies on a sunny day at the beach– if you go to the beach to watch movies. Managed to avoid scratching any discs; but, was uncomfortable seeing the discs bend.
I, therefore, wouldn’t recommend leaving it to children to change the discs, particularly if the unit is as sensitive to micro-scratches.
Sadly, my love of Panasonic portable DVD player products has been, in the case of portable DVD players, so far, unrequited. Battery life, and as expected, did not get anywhere near the 13 hour battery life advertised. The DVD player lasted 5 hours. I think sure if you use the “moonlight” setting (darker pic), you will get longer battery life, but that is not how we will be using the DVD player…
