We had the DVD player for almost one year. It just decided not to come on one day. Unfortunetly, since the labor warranty had expired we were told by a Toshiba warranty center to pay for the first [money]just to open up the DVD player and that it could take 1 week to 3 months to get back. Needless to say we threw the DVD player away since it would almost cost as much to purchase a new one. Check for manufactures that offer 1 year parts and labor such as Sony.
