Panasonic PV-D4744S Progressive Scan DVD / VCR Combo , Silver
I would rate ZERO stars if i could.
Opened the box, plugged it in, put in a tape, and enjoyed the feature.   <br /> <br />Bought a brand new DVD (LotR) and put it in my all new and exciting DVD player and it would not play (straches or dirty).   <br /> <br />This product is defective to say the least.  I found that the lense carraige doesnt stop when attempting to read the table of contents on the DVD.  therefore when moving toward the center of the disk, the lense hits and bounces off the DVD spinning motor (nice!).  I put the machine back together deciding that i would deal with the problem and just eject/reinsert my DVDs 5 times before playing them, but!! It doesnt play anything at all now - or - no output at all!  I found that there is a solar sensor that detects if the case has been opened (opened case with the light on).  The sensor now stores that information and wont even turn the machine on if no light is present (the machine will auto-power off if the lights are turned off).  Also, with no output, i can no longer use my Gamecube, PS2, or XBox with this product.  <br /> <br />I understand that I have voided the warrantee by opening the case, but for the product to self-destruct (litterally) if the case is breached, in my opinion says that it was never really mine in the first place... WHY DID I SPEND $150 TO LEASE IT THEN? <br /> <br />Do NOT buy this product - opinion.
