is there a dvd in the tray?
if so, what happens when you switch it?

I've tried 4 different dvds, just in case.

I just changed it again, and it played for a couple seconds, then displayed "root."

I think it's broken, but I'll wait to see what answers I get at their website.

This will be like my 5th dvd player in as many years. wtf? Is that normal?

Find a teenage on street. They'll have it fixed pronto!!!

Sounds like it could be an electrical issue - take the dvd to work and see if it works there.

Hey wait - didn't you say it shocked you at one point when you plugged something in? That could be a short. dunno ????

At this point I think you need a bigger hammer.

Three inputs are the best.

Yeah, but appropriate?

When you're in love, anything is negotiable.

Alcohol helps.

Mother of god, why the fuck do they make these things so goddam difficult? I can read, I'm not stupid, I used to test electronics for christ fucking sakes, and I can't figure out how the fuck to get my DVD player (and I got a new mother fucker) to fucking work with the fucking motherfucker DVR box or TV. The directions are ridiculous, they don't even try for integration. Just tell me: Put fucking yellow wire in fucking yellow hole on this fucking unit. Turn the fucking TV to channel fuck...voila, you have a movie. Not "available s video cunt sucker HD motherfucker, only if fucking ps cable has 9 pieces of lasagna, then to find other coaxial if you need it you go to the box with which you have loved and lost, and t-table 6 remoted the output of the input next to the cuntputt of the TV. In 6 days, check to see if light p4554e3w lights up: if so, meat and potatoes for dinner with your movie is suggested in light of all other cables."

Yeah, I'm pissed. I've called in the expert ex. I HATE when I can't do crap myself.

But there's always a good side: ex and housemate got a dog at the pound, who I will get to meet for the first time. Her name is STELLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

I would almost be willing to travel to your house to hook it up and then leave again immediately, just to bask in the live version of that rant.

:p

It was one of my favorite rants ever! Better in person, though.

Guess what? Couldn't get it to work through the DVR (I had set it up right!) so it's hooked into the TV, then I had to dig out the old TV remote and use the aux button. Sheesh.

I watched the first two episodes of Dexter. I like it.

The dog is a sweetheart. Lab mix...very playful but not obnoxious. She's a year old.
