First it started losing content which I thought was operator error.  Then I went to open the tray to  replace the DVD and I get a \\"Blocked\\" message.  Well if you get \\"Blocked\\" according to the owner's manual the show is over.  The end.   FINIS   Omega    Nothing you can do about it.         Opening and closing a disc tray is so very basic.     All my CD players have managed to do this.    All my computers do it.       All our DVD players do it.      My cars can handle it at 105 degrees F or minus 10 degrees F over rough road or off road.   But MAGNAVOX gets hung up just sitting still in a cool room in a basement and can do no more than tell you its         \\" BLOCKED \\".           I got mine as a gift and it was purchased at Radio Shack.  I'm surprised they carry this lemon of a product.   So now I have the hassle of having to try to get it fixed but to save you time with reading the next 27 messages.  ITS NOT WORTH IT.  Don't buy it.  Look at the star ratings and know that most of its owners would never buy another one again.       Have a Great Day !
