Wasted Money, Time and DVDs

This unit was great, for a few months. Then it decided it wasn't going to accept any DVDs, pre-recorded, blank, or it's own recordings. My story is pretty much the same as the majority of the reviews I've read on this unit, here or on other review...

I'm disapointed, don't buy

I'm very disapointed with this DVD because: 1. Freezes with my DVD-RAM disks. I know they're better than normal RW. I send 2 times to the technic service and they recommend me to use better disks (I don't know where I can find it!!). When disconected...
