Extreme heat and surly messiness


General Comments

I suspect if you wedged an LP in an AS551 DVD player, it would have a go at playing it. It has a wide variety of play modes for a small budget.

However, the remote control was designed by monkeys, and the worst thing about it is the tremendous amount of heat it generates if used for more than about half a movie. This is, I suspect, what causes the enormous pauses and occasional outright failures in the player. I was trying to have a bit of a Buffy season five marathon tonight, but right after the bit where Glory sends Tara insane, the machine just gave up the ghost and tried to hang on to the disk. I actually had to power it down to get it to behave, and the disk eventually popped out white hot. Don't bother, in my humble opinion. Chip a Sony instead.
