  If your Polaroid Portable DVD Player can't play discs, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the disc cover is fully closed. Then, check that a disc is actually in the DVD drive, inserted with the label side facing up. The disc itself might be dirty or warped, in which case you should try cleaning or replacing it. Also, make sure the player's region code matches the DVD's region code. If there's moisture on the lens, remove the disc and let the player dry for at least two hours. Finally, verify that the battery isn't dead by charging it or using the AC or car adapter.
