the dvd player start freezing up on I after only a few month of use . sometimes if I unplug & plug it in again , it would temporarily fix the freezing problem ... for a few day ... maybe . a few week after the freezing start , the dvd player would not properly play dvd 's . I try several different disc , even brand new one ... same issue . the audio and video would not be line up , now it be only show half of the picture and the rest of the screen be yellow . my tv be fine , it be this rca dvd player . the player itself seem to get very hot , so maybe it be a overheating issue that cause all the problem ? overall , it be loud -lrb- lot of clunking noise when change disc -rrb- , slow -lrb- painfully slow , like 30 + seconds to load a disc -rrb- , and just plain unreliable . I have have better luck with my 3 year old apex dvd player -lrb- which never freeze up btw -rrb- . the speaker system have be pretty decent -lrb- so far -rrb- ... the only reason I give this system a 2-star rating . for close to $ 200 I expect something a lot more reliable that would not poop out on I after 2 month . my next dvd player will not be a rca !
