Still faulty after all these years!

I found one of these abandoned in the trash room of our apartment block. I wondered why till I tried to use it.
Some functions work ok but reading the earlier reviews below, I can relate to most of them.
Re not reading DVDs - for some inexplicable reason, it will play DVDs made on my computer using Pinnacle, but won't look at a recent DGG Region 0 disc! After an interminable "loading", it finally gives up and says "no disc!"
The drawer won't open in operating mode. You have to switch back to standby then press the Open button!
Re low level of CDs - some CDs are only just loud enough on full volume, whereas DVDs are fine at about level 10-20.
There are other issues which might bore readers so I'll avoid those.
Radio works ok.
Otherwise it's too much of a hassle. Might go back to where I found it!
PS I only got the box,not the speaker system.
