I buy this unit in January 2006 from bbuy . I admit I be mainly look for a surround sound system but the price seem reasonable and with all the other feature -lrb- 5-disc changer , divx capable , etc. -rrb- I think what the heck . at first I do not really use the dvd player that much , but when I do I have a problem with a few disc skip after about a hour into the movie , at the time I just figure the disc themselves be bad , like I say I do not use it to watch many movie . well recently my wife start work at a movie rental store , so with free rental we have start watch a lot more movie . now I see that the dvd function on this unit be basically useless , pretty much every movie we play begin to skip and then freeze at about a hour and fifteen minute into the movie . I know it be not the disc , sometimes she get free unopened movie as promotional item and the same thing happen , a hour and fifteen minute or so into the movie it begin to skip , every single time now . I have try disc cleaner with no luck . after some research online , it seem that alot of people have the same exact problem with all type of samsung dvd player . maybe there be just a few bad unit float around out there but nonetheless I would recommend go with another brand .
