dvd-vcr and other dvd combos

Is the worse buy in my life. The DVD does not work and to get a new one is cheaper than repair. JVC Colombia unable to fix it.

I would not buy this product again. After about 6 months (and perhaps 20 hours of use) the DVD player started freezing images or playing too slow. Took it to a local shop and had the DVD unit replaced as some expense to me (JVC agreed to pay about half and I had to pay the rest, about $60, as the warrenty had expired). Now a couple of months later the DVD player is starting to do the same thing again and I have to decide if I want to go through the repair thing again. Probably not. I am disgusted! The VHS unit has worked great and has seen a lot more hours of use.

I used the DVD player twice, and it no longer will recognize any disc. After going in circles with tech support, I was finally told I need to (take time off from work to) bring it down to the service center and pay $70 for them to fix it (since its 8 months old, more than the 3 months warranty on LABOR). Since I could buy a new DVD unit for $50, I can't see the point. I'm VERY disappointed and unhappy with their product and with their committment to service (or lack thereof).
