I get it as a gift a few month ago and , at first , everything be fine . then it start freezing on one dvd after another . it begin with lotr , then the Princess Bride , then occasionally on lotr : tt and now on HBO 's band of brother . the dvd play without a problem on other dvd player .  the system still have a few month of warranty leave so I will try talk to Samsung . but give some of the online comment I have read , it appear to I they will want I to ship , at my expense , a 55lb dvd player .
