1.0 out of 5 stars Piss-poor DVD playback - unable to play discs after 4 weeks, April 29, 2004

This review is from: Magnavox 13MDTD20 13-Inch TV-DVD Combo (Electronics)

This TV-DVD combo does not play DVD discs at all. We received it as a Christmas present and have been extremely disappointed with its performance as it only seems to be getting worse. Unfortunately this may be a problem with Magnavox, as a friend's earlier Magnavox DVD system had similar problems - "sticking" and "freezing" during playback. We have had a second DVD player for over a year, made by a different manufacturer (we won't mention any names, but it starts with an "T" and ends with "oshiba") and have had absolutely no problems with it - so it's not our discs.

We even visited the site and tried out Magnavox's "product troubleshooting list" for the item - (e.g. is the disc a DVD-R, is it a Disney movie, did we place it in the tray correctly). None of it helped, nor did a "disc cleaner" or cleaning discs with a soft cloth.

The system first began to act erratically approximately three weeks after we received it, when we found that it sometimes did not play discs all the way through, without "sticking" about 45-60 minutes into play. Then, it began to provide "Disc Errors" when playing some, but not all discs. Usually the problem subsided if we turned off the machine, reinserted the disc (making sure it was clean of any dust), and then attempted to play again.

Currently however, it will not play ANY discs, only four months after we received this as a gift. We have tried consecutively, five different CDs of different types - none of them MP3 CDs, none of them DVD-Rs or special Disney movies. All of them simply zip around and around in the DVD, with the final result being a "Disc Error", suggesting that the disc may not work in playback. Of course, all of these discs work fine in our other DVD player.

1.0 out of 5 stars Careful with this one...., May 13, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Magnavox 13MDTD20 13-Inch TV-DVD Combo (Electronics)

I have been extremely dissapointed with this Unit. I bought it for Christmas to use in our trailer, unboxed it and played the first DVD - everything worked fine so I put it back in the box. Middle of March took it out of the box in preparation for our first trip out in the trailer and it wouldn't play a DVD. I tried the disc cleaners, etc, nothing worked. I called Magnavox and they told me it only has a 90 day warranty on labor. I got 2 estimates to have the DVD fixed - over $100.00 for a TV/DVD that was used 1 time. It now is a 13" TV - won't play DVD's, CD's at all. I would not purchase this unit again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy This One!!!!!, June 22, 2005

We have used this DVD player maybe 6 times. It no longer plays DVDs at all - it keeps displaying "DISC ERROR." Like another reviewer, mine will play audio CDs. I did call Customer Service and once they found out it was out of warranty they would not talk to me unless I paid $15 - which of course I did not do. Based on other reviews, I would say Magnavox is incapable of making a DVD player that can last longer than a couple of months. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE UNLESS YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE $200 TO THE MAGNAVOX R&D DEPARTMENT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE A FUNCTIONING DVD PLAYER.
