    The DVD player didn't have clear instructions on how to set it up. After many attempts and working with the Geek Squad I finally was able to play a DVD. You don't want to move the location of the player while watching a DVD. You'll find the movie stops or the screen isn't clear because the DVD is reloading to find the correct spot to start up again. Very annoying!
