I have an Initial IDM-1731 DVD player that I bought on eBay (new in box,
obviously never opened). The screen is small (7", which I knew when I
ordered it), but the quality of the picture is very good. The unit will
receive very light usage -- it was purchased to use primarily when I travel
in summers. However, it has an *extremely short* power cord. I don't think
I have ever been in a motel room where I could comfortably view this unit
with that cord. I know this is a strange question, but I know virtually
nothing about electricity or the technology used in DVDs. So: What type of
extension cord can I safely use with a unit like this and not take risks of
damaging it? Do I need a specific type, or would it be acceptable to just
use the very lightest-weight cord (for portability)?

Thanks,
MaryL
