it's not quite two years old and it was factory reconditioned. Not sure what the warranty was but I think it was pretty short. I kinda thought it would just crap out altogether, but maybe that's coming...
Anyhoo, I got a Panasonic DVD-S27 single-disc player for DVDs - only $70 or so on Overstock

- and keeping the Tosh for audio CDs (still plays them without a hitch, so no point tossing it just yet.)
