Wanlida/Malata DVD-806 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Rebate came just after my unit died
I agree with all the reviews. It was a great unit--while it lasted. I had high hopes for Malata--my dad had another China-made DVD player and it worked flawlessly in a high-end stereo system. Well, the Malata arrived at my home just in time to relieve a dying DVD player. It worked great for about 2 weeks, then one day it just quit playing CDs and VCDs properly--it paused for seconds every half minute or so! (...)! Fine, I thought. I had a dedicated CD player--I'll just use the Malata for DVDs. (...), and the Malata is starting to eat my DVDs alive--my wife put in a DVD, and when she opened the tray it was empty!!! Man, oh man, should I send this thing in to repair while it's still under the 90 days of warranty, or should I just save the postage money for another DVD player?
