Rar.

Since my last post, I have discovered that the DVD player isn't as, well, powerful.

Because the last player was so good, I bought a huge chunk of my DVDs used. Or if they arrived already a tiny bit damaged (scratched), I'd give 'em a go anyway, and 99.9% of the time, the player didn't even recognise any of the damage -- played the DVDs perfectly.

This one? Not so much. Pixelises and skips over the damage.

Honestly -- any advice on how to fight this would make me really, really happy.

Take it back. Demand a replacement. You spent $200 on the other one ... and sure the technology's changed and they cost less now, but you shouldn't get stuck with one that's not playing as well as the other. Take it up to the manager at the slightest balk from the salesperson. If you can't get satisfaction in the store, then ask for the address/phone numbers of the crporate office. And write them. And copy the BBB. Don't let them get away with this shit!

I am definitely going to see what I can do about getting something satisfactory. *hugs* I'm desperately mad now that they made me return the manual for the previous model. Grr.
