Really Easy

I don't own that model of DVD player but in most cases if the battery
is built into the player then by connecting the DVD player to a power
source should charge up the battery. There should not be the need to
switch on the player during the charging of the battery.

Regards Brian

Thanks, all.  We downloaded the manual and my son walked through the
steps (external battery, one adaptor/power cord for the unit, leave
unit off during charging), but the charge light didn't come on, and it
didn't seem to charge.  We might have a bad battery I suppose, or else
he's maybe not attaching it to the player correctly.  The charge light
does come on when the unit is on with the battery in, but the battery
doesn't seem to charge then.

I might have a better idea of it when he comes home from school in a
few weeks.  Thanks, again, for your help!

Most portable electronic products will charge whether they're turned on or
off, but charge faster if off.  There usually is some sort of indicator: a
light that blinks during charging and changes to steady when done, or one
that changes from red to green, or similar.

As Brian said, it probably charges right in the unit.  However, if there's
a separate charging cradle, then the battery may have to be removed and
charged in that.

"Memory" is an artifact of the charging process, not a setting.  NiCads
are especially prone to this; they should be fully discharged before
recharging.  With more modern batteries, like NiMH, this is much less a
problem.
