| Hi, All;
|
| I bought a cheap-ass DVD player from Radio Shack (hey, it was on sale)
| last year, but I only just started using it a couple of months ago.
| For seemingly no reason it locks on to certain tracks that can't be
| cleared without turning off all power to it, and every once in a
| while, the power light will turn on and the drawer will open itself,
| then a little later close itself.
|
| The power on indicator uses a dual color LED, I think, and
| when the player is not in use the indicator flicks between
| orange for no power, and green. Besides being a piece
| of Radio Shack junk to begin with, does anybody know
| what's going on with this demented DVD player?

I am convinced to this day that somewhere in China someone is saying, "These
things are crap. Who are we going to sell them to?"

And someone else is replying, "No worries, we'll sell them to Radio Shack.
If they won't buy them we'll license the RCA brand logo and stick that on
them".
