I buy a ht700 two year ago and initially I like it , play great . after 2 year it stop play all music cd . both mp3 and original audio cd . couple of month after that , it stop play 50 % of blockbuster dvd . I have a 5 year old $ 75 samsung player , that still play great all kind of stuff . I do not think it be just the problem with this one panasonic system . it be all of Panasonic . it be just a piece of low quality stuff . they be just try to sell to american market this piece of junk . never buy any panasonic anymore unless you want keep buy every two year !! . - a disappointed customer
