Philips DVP5982 DVD Player

I purchased this dvd player in Feb '08 for an RCA tv...to no avail.  10 months later, I hooked it up to my old school Magnavox tv via RF mod.  For 2 months it worked fine; then suddenly, the player began to play games...fortunately, I was able to get my dvd disc out.

I turned the player off; yet it turned back on within a few seconds! The disc slot, never opened.  I emailed Sony tech and it taken 3 weeks for a response (now out of warranty).  I reconnected the player; within 1 month, the 4th dvd was a 2 hour movie...30 minutes later the dvd disc kicked out and it reverted back to turning on automatically.  That's it!

Recently, I purchased a Denon 1940ci dvd player.  Currently, I'm waiting to see how long this last.
