how many dvd players have you had?

[Zagatto]

I think the premature death of my player was caused by my wife always leaving the player on at night when she came to bed. The Panasonic doesn't have any sort of auto-off feature if it's left alone so it was running about 12 hours a day during the time I had it.

We were watching a lot of videos during that time too.
I expect the Toshiba to last a bit longer because we only use it about 8 hours a week now and if it does get left on, it has an auto-off feature at the end of a movie.
