The first DVD player A and I ever had was a Toshiba SD-2109 that
perigee gave us several years ago. A couple of weeks ago, it finally kicked the bucket - it wouldn’t respond to the remote control anymore. We tried using the PS2 (a gift from
perigee, actually), but it’s been having drive problems for a while. It can usually still play games, but it was balky with DVDs, so it was time for a new DVD player. Before buying one, we asked A’s dad if he had one he wasn’t using anymore - and he did. So I’ve just installed a Panasonic DVD-F61A in our bedroom. It’s a 5-DVD changer, not sure what we’ll use that part of it for, but it works with the remote, and it’s shiny, and I’m glad it was a snap to install. (Well, once I realized my father-in-law had given us the wrong cable - it was audio only - but I used the A/V cable from the old DVD player and it’s all happy.)
