TEAC DV10D Audio and Video DVD Player
DVD player that doesn't work with TV's
I bought this item from alectrics (evidently another name for Dakmart, who shipped the item) through Amazon. Upon hooking it up to my TV I was able to get a good image and soundtrack, but no dialogue! After lots of trouble shooting (to no avail)I called TEAC's customer \\"service\\". After waiting over 45 minutes to talk to someone I was told that I could only get dialogue by hooking it up to a 5 channel surround system, and that the problem is with the way that new DVD's are made, not with the product design or flaws. This is crazy and ridiculous; in fact I was able to play the same DVD's that wouldn't work on the TEAC on both my computer and an older cheapo DVD player. Also, by playing with the audio controls I was eventually able to get dialogue, but not in a way that was predictible or repeatable with the same settings. To top it off, the \\"service\\" person not only gave me absurd and false information, but was also condescending to a point approaching  rudeness. I can't say how this machine does in other set-ups, but selling a DVD player that doesn't work with TV's seems similar to selling a blender that works fine as long as you don't put food in it. Given this machines inherent flaws, and TEAC's horrible customer service I would not recommend this machine, nor will I be buying TEAC products at any time in the future.
