    Just crap

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This dvd player doesn't work, don't waste your money. Find one that is a little more expensive that will actually work. The only thing I'm getting out of this is knowing I will never purchase another LG product, and something for target practice. I don't understand why these companies keep putting out crap products.
