Somewhat like some of the other comments this player is working well to play a movie two or three times a week. It plays the CD's through the stereo TV adequately as well. The kids have managed to dislodge a spring that pulls the door closed and I may have to give some thought to opening the cabinet and resecuring that. Until then I will just give the door a flip and close it manually. I generally agree with the comments of "you get what you pay for". However, if your six year old knocks it off the shelf it won't survive regardless of how much you pay for it. I feel somewhat the same about furniture at this point. Grape juice is unaware of how much the new sofa cost.
