Very Dissatisfied!

I've had a problem with one of the DVD players. I notified Electronics Expo twice and you once. To date nothing has been done to resolve the problem. I'm very unhappy as it was a Christmas gift, ordered and paid for well in advance. After this experience I will be reluctant to purchase anything of this expense from Amazon again.

Don't buy this one

We bought one of these for Christmas for our children. They were so excited to be able to watch movies in the van. When we first tried it out, there was sound, but no picture. We read through the instruction booklet and it said that it might do that if it had been brought into a warm room from the cold. So, we kept it. WE SHOULD HAVE RETURNED IT IMMEDIATELY. It finally worked with sound and picture, but then the connection started going bad. The DVD player would just stop working in the middle of a movie. It was like we had unplugged it, but we had not. It turned out that the connection at the plug in spot is bad. We even bought a new cord for almost $40 to try to fix it, but it still doesn't work. It also continues to have sound with no picture at various times.
We travel A LOT and it is so frustrating to be driving along with three children who are so happy to be watching a movie and it just goes off. It takes forever to get it to work again if you can EVEN get it to work again. If you get it started and you happen to mash the play button too hard and move the DVD player just a fraction, it will go off again and you have to start all over.
I contacted the company about this several times. Of course they said when I called that it was out of warranty and they would not do anything. When we bought it, it cost $230.00. Basically that is money down the drain. We will have to buy a new DVD player. I have read several reviews on Magnavox products. There have been several indicating that they have sound with no picture, even on large screen TVs. They call customer service and there is no help available.
I spent extra money to get this well known brand as opposed to a cheaper brand. Well, I think I'll choose the less expensive brand next time. At least if it doesn't work, I won't be losing so much money when I have to buy a new one!

It's not so bad.

I received this product for Christmas at least 2 years ago, and it does not have any major problems. It has always been a reliable product. I do not use it as my primary DVD device now b/c I got a laptop w/ a DVD writer (
