I bought this as a second DVD player so that I would have one at my college dorm and one at home. It stopped working for no reason after about 8 months. I will never buy a no-name brand again! My expensive Apex dvd player that I have had since DVD players came out lasted until this past year. I guess trying to buy something cheap isn't always the best choice.
