Title: Not Happy
Review: I purchased this combo DVD/VCR player for my exercise tapes, which I use daily, since I have a wide collection of both VHS & DVD's. And I've always liked the user-friendly aspect of Sony products. However, after only 4 months, both DVD & VHS tapes started freezing in the middle of play. Not good when you're right in the middle of your morning work-out.Because of security features Sony now installs in their devices to forestall piracy, only the Sony company can do repairs. So, even though it was still under warranty, I'm required to ship it back to them at my expense. After 3 months, they sent it back, saying it couldn't be repaired, only replaced. Yeah, like I want another one!Instead, I purchased a Pioneer DVD player that doesn't install such security devices. All I want is a reliable, consumer-friendly player. Not one armored for warfare. No more Sony's for me.
