Cons images and sound could be better

Even though we rarely watch DVDs, we've gone through five* (hubby had to replace his PS2 once) different players over the past five or so years.

Pros NONE!
Cons It is a piece of junk.
Recommended it? No

I bought this for the car for my daughter to watch movies...I spend more time cursing at the darn thing than it actually working! It constantly stops for no reason & skips a lot too.
