It is just aportable DVD player I bought in US and I need a voltage converter so my DVD player will not get damaged when I use in India.
The last time I took a pictureof a waterfall, it took 3 seconds for the picture to get damaged. I need to protect my DVD player from being fried.



Answer
Use a step-down transformer.

It should be rate for at least twice as much current
(or twice as many watts)
as the total load that it will be required to supply.

For a portable DVD player, a 50 or 100 watt transformer
should be more than sufficient, but you may think of
other things you would also want to use,
so you may still have a good reason to buy a larger one.

Considering the cost of these things, the best idea is
to buy the largest transformer you can afford (and carry around).

How do I get my portable DVD player to run off it's battery?

I bought an Insignia dual screen portable DVD player at Best Buy. I have returned 2 so far because I can't get them to play using battery power. I have called the Insignia help line 3 times with no success. I have tried plugging the unit in for 24+ hrs to charge the battery - both with the unit on and with the unit off. I assume that I should be able to play a movie, and remove the power plug to let the battery take over.....or turn the unit on without having the power cord plug in.....I can't do either. I can't find any switch to engage the battery....can't find any settings in the menus of the DVD player....and can't find any instructions about the battery in the manual. The helpline insists that it has an internal battery and that it should last about 2.5 hrs. I thought I was a smart guy, but I'm feeling very dumb......please help!


Answer
Hello,

I am sorry. I searched and searched and I was unable to find anything that said that there was a battery inside the "dual screen unit". Looking at the website, Insignia has many other portable DVD players. I am thinking that when someone said that they had a battery they were referring to those other units. I even looked through the manual and there was NO mention of a battery, internal or otherwise, except for in the remote control. This may be why you had two other units that wouldn't work off of "battery" power. Insignia only sells one dual screen unit (active and discontinued). Do you recall where you got the information that there was a battery? When the unit was plugged in, did you notice any icon that indicated that a battery was charging (a light, maybe)?? If I get further information maybe I will be able to help you more, I apologize for not being more helpful. (Hey, at least you're not dumb :) ) SMILE and be merry.
