We bought a new DVD/VCR combo player and have no use for our old one.

It's an RCA 5-disc changer which we've had for quite a while. The problem we have with it is this: most DVD's we've watched at some point it'll stutter(sp) playing the movie..sometimes you can fast forward to get past this but sometimes we have to take the disc out, put it back in to get it to play right...at least for a little while longer anyway. It can be very aggravating.

Husband thinks it may be getting hot and not being able to cool properly because it does seem to happen after an hour or so watching a DVD. But this is pure speculation as this DVD player has done this since we got it. (bought it through Sam's club auction) We had a DVD player for our laptop which would do kind of the same thing so we were thinking it was just DVD players or we really shouldn't operate electronic equipment. Maybe DVD players have improved? I can't remember exactly when we bought it but I'd say probably 4-5 years ago.

But it does play CD's just fine so listen to music if you want with no problem. :-D
Or shorter DVD's I have no problem with. It does come with the remote.

PM if interested..I can take a pic of it and send it to you if you'd like or answer any questions.

hehe..yeah it'll probably wind up on the side of the road for garbage pickup...I bet someone gets it then..:)

It's been such an aggravating piece of equipment maybe I'll just take a hammer to it...:-D Save it until I have a really bad day at work..
