Sony SLV-D500P DVD/VCR Combo
Sony Quality on the Decline
I purchased the first Sony DVD/VCR combo and it worked great, for about 4 weeks.  Then half way though a movie it started jumping from scene to scene before it froze up.  I tried a couple of different disks but all I get in return are error messages.  I received a replacement unit and on this one the DVD player only works on half of the disks I've tried.  The other half I get &quot;can't read disk, clean disk, error&quot;, etc...  These are the same disks that worked fine on my original unit until the crash that is, and they all work fine on my Marantz 6400.  I really like the way the Sony 500P interfaced with my Wega TV but it seems like Sony is just interested in selling low quality DVD players
