RCA RC5240P DVD Player
Good while it lasted...
I bought this DVD player new in November of 2001.  It lasted until August of 2002.  It just decided one day that the tray wasn't going to open.  I opened up the unit and unjammed the tray locking mechanism by sliding it to the right with my finger.  The unit immediately opened and gave me my disc.  It worked for a week and did it again. So I unplugged it and haven't used it since.<br />I don't like the idea of paying this much for something and it only last 10 months.  When I contacted Thompson Consumer Electronics I was told that the parts were still covered, but I would have to pay over $100 in shipping and labor to get it fixed.  That's when I saw the price of the unit was now $98 at Wal-Mart.<br />As much as I liked the features of the player I can't recommend it due to the short life span.  I admit I watch a DVD nearly every day, but I would think that it would hold up better.
