I have own this dream system for 3 year , and have have continuous trouble with it . first malfunction be when the unit 's disc eject mechanism break . second malfunction be when the unit start to experience startup trouble and would repeatedly cycle through its power-on\/power-off sequence . the latest malfunction involve a annoying high-pitched whine emit from the speaker when the unit be play in Video 1 or Video 2 mode . unlike other owner who experience this problem , I be not willing to open the casing and poke around at the unit 's innards . I be just feed up with this system and would discourage any prospective buyer from consider this unit or any future model brand Sony dream system .
