Title: Dead on arrival
Review: The unit I received was dead on arrival. At first all I could get was a power available light, which comes on when you flip the rocker switch on the back. None of the buttons would work. I turned the unit off and let it sit for 30 minutes, then turned it back on. This time I was able to eject the tray and load a disc. Unfortunately, the machine cycled repeatedly between different speeds without reading the disc. I tried this with several discs but only succeeded in locking up the player and having to power it down, wait 30 minutes, and power it back up (immediate power up resulted in no functionality at all) to retrieve my discs. I've worked with the machine for 24 hours and have seen several failure modes, including one where the television screen flickered and rolled wildly. No amount of coaxing or rebooting had led to a successful load of any kind of disc.....
Is the review positive or negative?
