I purchased the same model two years ago and it has operated in any capacity for less than one hour total. Now the DVD reads "loading" constantly and, after a call to JVC support, the DVD will not come out. I am shipping it to JVC service and will probably get a whacking big bill and a device that will not do everything it was supposed to do. I will probably give it away, if it is returned marginally operational. I am through with "do everything" devices in general and JVC in particular.
