JVC XV-523GD DVD Player
Worked great for first year- now wont read disks at all
Just like a number of people have said... a bunch of them break shortly after being purchased.  Mine worked fine for about 9 months then started getting really flakey.  By then the warranty only covered parts and not labor so I have decided now to just shell out [the money]to get a sony rather than pay to get this fixed. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD PLAYER!
