dvd-vcr and other dvd combos

We purchased this unit about six months ago and the dvd player simply stopped reading any kind of disk.

After calling Philips/Magnavox, they informed us that the unit was still under warranty and they would be happy to send us a used replacement for $99.

This company does not stand behind their products and they are deceiving consumers by selling defective merchandise and then trying to double their profit by selling you another unit under the guise of a warranty.

I would strongly urge everyone not to buy products from Philips or Magnavox until they change this policy and treat their customers fairly.

We purchased this unit new and six months later, the DVD Player simply stopped reading all disks. After contacting Magnavox, we were told that they would be happy to send us a used replacement unit for the "discount" price of $ 99 plus shipping.

Magnavox does not stand behind their products and in fact try to further profit from defective products. This must be part of their business strategy to sell poorly made products and then sell them again under the guise of a "discount" warranty price.

Companies should not be allowed to act this way and I would urge everyone to not buy products from Philips or Magnavox until they change this policy and stand behind their products.

ZERO STARS - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I have had many fine Magnavox products and this is not one. This was a birthday gift to our daughter. The unit worked fine for about six months - except the remote only works from about five feet away. I have not had any problems with the VCR but the DVD player comes back with a Disc Error even on new DVD's. Now I can only play VCR's but I already had a VCR player so what's the point. The warranty is useless., timed to expire right before the machine dies. A $130 lesson learned, review the product before your buy.
