in the past I have be a very loyal Sony customer ; however , this dvd dream system be by far the worst Sony product I have ever purchase . I purchase the system less than two year ago . the dvd player start act up -lrb- not play -rrb- about two month ago despite limited use . I attempt multiple time to clean the unit use a dvd cleaning disk and even take the unit apart to blow out excess dust . the unit will still not play dvd 's ... in the past month , the unit have start not power off unless it be physically unplugged from the wall . I be force to keep the unit power at all time in order to use the home theater speaker . my response from Sony be less than satisfactory . my recommendation be for anyone look to buy a home theater\/dvd combo unit to stay away from Sony product .
