Virtually *all* DVD players are Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese made.

as if they weren't killing american
manufacturers already.

What American manufacturers ? RCA, Magnavox? most of their stuff is made
in the far-east these days.

Of course the American consumer electronics industry was
wiped-out/taken-over years ago.

RCA is a brand of Thomson (French), Magnavox is a brand of Philips
(Dutch), plus a load of other *household* American brand-names have
disappeared, or are now foreign owned. It's just the same with well known
British brand-names.

I bet it's very difficult to find a DVD player that is actually made in
the USA.
