Audiovox Dvd Portable Troubleshooting

Audiovox Electronics Corporation manufactures portable DVD players for viewing DVDs when you are away from home. The feature list for most Audiovox portable DVD players is the same. The difference between models is the size of the LCD screen. Audiovox portable DVD players will work as they should under most circumstances. You may encounter an occasional problem that prevents normal operation. By troubleshooting the device, you can often fix the problem, without the need of a service technician.


Instructions


1. Charge the internal battery if your Audiovox portable DVD player stops working. To charge the battery, plug the small end of the AC adapter into the "DC IN" jack on the back of the DVD player, and plug the opposite end into an electrical outlet. Slide the power switch to the "Off" position when charging the battery. You can run the DVD player from the AC adapter, if you choose.


2. Remove the DVD from the player if you are experiencing distorted video when playing back a DVD. Check the disc to ensure it is not warped or cracked. Take a clean, soft rag and wipe off the bottom of the disc to remove any debris or smudges. When cleaning the bottom of the disc, wipe from the middle of the disc outward to prevent damage. Use a light touch when cleaning the bottom of the disc. If you still have a distorted image, try another disc in the DVD player. If the second disc works, the problem is with the original DVD. If it doesn't work, you may need to have your DVD player serviced.


3. Replace the battery in the remote control if it no longer operates the DVD player. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control, discard the old battery and install a new CR2025 battery. Be sure to not block the remote control sensor when using the remote control.
