I bought a panasonic DVD player couple of years ago. DVD-CV50 5 disc
changer. Recently its started giving problems and not playing DVDs
properly.

1. I would like to know if there is any site that discusses about
fixing DVD players, hacking etc.

2. or Is there any exchange program for DVD Players

3. If I want to get it repaired where do I've to do that for less,
there is one in Sunny Vale, CA, and the minimum charge is $45, but
I'll get a new DVD player
for that price.

4. If nothing works how do I recycle it.

I appreciate your responses,

TIA
