Akai DVDP5851

I purchased this DVD player and had problems with it. I sent it back for warranty repair 9 months ago. AKAI keeps on telling me that it will be shipped back shortly, BUT NOTHING!!!!!! I have called so many times that I feel like a fool. I guess I will...

I guess you get what you pay for - this player is cheap with a cheap remote (that stopped working within one month), a cheap loading tray and pretty poor performance. Yes - it plays multi-region DVD's but when it plays them with pixelated images and...
