Sony SLV-D350P DVD / VCR Combo
Failed out of the box
I selected this unit over other similar units because of the brand name.  Out of the box, the unit could not load any of the movie DVDs that I tried.  After a long delay, it would report an error saying that the disk could not be read.  These DVDs all worked in my other DVD player.  I took the unit back and exchanged it for another of the same model.  Brought it home and it had the same exact problem.  I then bought a different brand of combo unit and it worked just fine.  It looks like Sony has a poor design or extremely bad quality control.  The other brand had the same features and cost $50 less than the Sony which I bought on sale.  Don't even bother trying this DVD combo.
