Sony SLV-D550P DVD/VCR Combo
2 stars for the time period it actually worked
Now, after what appears to be a standard 9 month life expectancy, every DVD I put in the player now results in the message \\"Error\\".  Actually, the VCR player still works great.  I guess now I'm expected to be ghetto and buy a new DVD player and stack it on top of the broken one, so I still have a VCR player!  I guess you can't even trust a name that has a proven track record of quality products.  I know it will be more trouble than it's worth to try to fix it!
