My daughter received the disney princess tv, dvd player, and clock for her birthday last july. At first everything seemed fine. The product was very cute and the picture quality on the tv was very nice. the dvd player occasionally smelled of very faint melting wire and stopped playing because it could no longer read the dvds. I returned the dvd player to the store that it was purchased at and got a new one. the 2nd dvd player stopped working within 1 month. same smell only this time it shows a picture but no sound. the store does not want to return it and the warranty is up with memorex. my daughter is 3 and she is heart broken. she cried when the player broke and wants a new princess dvd player that works. I am very disappointed also, but I do not want to purchase the same player that will just break again. now she has the whole princess product line but cannot use the dvd player.

My son got this DVD player as a birthday present this past July (2003) and it had trouble reading some DVD's. As of January of 2004 this piece of junk completely stopped working all together. It will not recognize or read ANY dvd's it just spins them. I have tried cleaning it but it will still not read. I even called Memorex who said that I would have to pay $100 to have it fixed (yeah, right). Anyway, it may look cute but it is completely unreliable and simply does not work. For shame, Disney for lending your name to such a shoddy piece of junk. AVOID!!

I bought the Disney Classic DVD player and TV for my 3yr old son in March along with 30 dvds and it quit working a month later. So now I am stuck with all these dvds that he cannot watch in his room. It seems like they would do a recall on the product since there has been numerous cases on the product failing. Jennifer C.

I was suprised to read some of the other reviews as we have had ours for 2 years and have had zero problems. It works incredible, easy as can be and I couldn't find a problem with it if I wanted to even with my son banging on it and pressing all the buttons on off, on off, on off....We love it!

We got this last December for my 3 year old. We haven't had any problems with it. It's super easy to use and does the job to entertain our little one. The only thing I have an issue with is lately it seems to be a little temperamental about opening to put a disc in. I seem to have to push it a couple of times. But then again, there has been a 3 year old playing with it. I actually bought mine from Sears and purchased an extended warranty for two years and I still have time to go in case I want to switch it out for a new one. BUT, I wish I could have gotten mine for as cheap as Target is selling it!! =o}

If you like Disney this is really nice and comes with a kid remote too. I got one with the matching TV, Only thing is none of the DVD remotes have controls for the matching TV or any other TV! (volume, ect) You have to go back and forth between two remotes to use it. This was a disapointment thats makes it to hard for the younger kids to use. Extra note: Also if You do get the matching TV, you can't hook up the DVD's right and left audio sound because the matching TV is MONO only, you lose the DVD "experience". That said, The DVD itself looks funny hooked up to a good stero TV but works very well. The manufacture may want to upgrade the matching TV to take advantage of the DVD features.

I've read the other amazon reviews for the Disney electronics and i thank you. I was headed to a downtown electronic store tomorrow to buy the Mickey Mouse DVD player, but after reading all the horrible experiences with it, i wont even by a Memorex DVD player, whether its Disney or not. Thanx for not allowing me to waste my money.

Disney would only lend their name to outstanding products and it is!! Well made and very kid friendly. It is easy to set up and has 2 remotes (one for parents and one for kids) and they (like the DVD player) are well made. The kid size is perfect for little hands and the parent's is larger. Even my 4 yr old couldn't harm it. The "feet" are removeable so you will get many years of use and it will fit any "Mickey" TV 13" or 19"

I've never had problems with products from Sears in the past, so I didn't feel the need to purchase an extended warranty. However after having TWO of these units fail within 18 months('cannot read disc'), I am wary of purchasing another one even WITH an extended warranty.
My recommendation? Do not buy.

We have never had any problems with the DVD player. It is great and easy to use. I think it's great the kids have their own remote that is simple for them to use. Maybe we were one of the lucky ones that got a good dvd player but I think this is a great little dvd player.
