Panasonic DVD-A120 DVD Player
BAD CHIPS IN PANASONIC DVD players!
It seems there is a trend here.  I also loved my Panasonic player until it melted down - just like the others in these reviews.  <br />The repair guy says he can order a new board (as the chips aren't replaceable) for $150 -  total repair price over $200.  <br />I bought it exactly 13 months ago - so  much for a one year warranty.  Panasonic won't admit to any problem with  these chips and won't repair it under warranty.<br />If this many machines are  going bad with exactly the same symptons (pixelization, sound cutting in  and out, then locking up), shoudn't Panasonic step up and recall them or at  least honor the warranty one month over the date?  <br />I am buying a Sony  and will never buy Panasonic again.
