I know from talking to service guys that a problem that drives 'em crazy is getting a unit in for service ( disc skiping,won't read -whatever) and realizing that it's the same mechanism they are already familiar with on a hate and despise basis from other co.'s products. DVD recorders suffered from this bigtime a year or so ago - apparently almost everyone bought their laser plus spin n tray from the same OEM in Taiwan (Funai) - none of 'em worked.
Frankly - from my point of view - the major problem is that CDP's last too long - people are still playing what were once pretty good for the time players - better and cheaper things have come along since and they just won't give up on that 20 year old treasure.
