Done. I charged it to your credit card. :D

My friend has one of these. He likes it. The only problem is that he had to input the names of all the movies on a menu screen. It took him awhile but it played the DVDs well.

We have one, which is why I recommended it.

Hopefully, he input the movie names using a keyboard (the unit has a standard PSII keyboard connector on the front panel - although USB would be better).

Ok so ... are all your DVDs subjected to the heat of the machine any time it plays, or are they stored in some sort of CryoTank awaiting selection?






(And do they get jealous while you watch other DVDs, leaving them in the CryoTank?)

If it works like my 200 cd changer it's more like a juke box. It only pulls out the one it's playing an the rest just sit in the cart.

I buy Billy Bookshelves in BULK.

innerSpaceman 10-16-2007 07:53 PM

Yes, but the cart (not the bookshelves) is inside the machine, no? The machine gets hot, yes?

Prolonged exposure to heat damages DVDs. If you were to play the same DVD a hundred times, it would become heat damaged. So, if you expose 100 DVDs to 100 plays of any of them, they all become heat damaged.


It needs a cryotank, I's tellin' ya.





This has nothing to do with swankifying your digs. I have no budget-concious suggestions on that front.


Plenty of ones that cost a cool walletful. No cheap ones. Sorry.

Concrete bricks and pine boards make a great shelving system.

Yeah… but to make it really swanky, you need to use those fancy open-patterned concrete blocks.

And stacked milk crates make a great media center (just don’t forget to get ones that are all the same color).

You know that look is only swanky if you have hardwood floors though.

To really dress it up, drape some Mardi Gras beads over the whole shebang.

I try to get them from the same dairy.
