    Sony DVD Failure (DVP-NC655P) -- "No Disc" Message!

    Thanks for the quick feedback... I guess that having this thing running a lot caused it to go out sooner--yes? So what to do with it now? Wanna buy a slightly used DVD player? :) BTW: it's interesting to note that a very cheap VHS player that I bought in 1994 is still going strong...

    I'm looking at the new Elite's as well.... From what I have been told from reliable sources the Elite is as good as it gets for a RPTV.... It will not look as good as the Loewe but it may have the edge during movie watching (DVD or HDTV). I don't think you could go wrong with any of the new...
