it plays mp3,cds and other formats!
I tried musicCDs and they work fine no problems,Also jpegs,and other
formats like avi seems to work fine
Any clues?
Oh,just remembered,when it does play DVDs it seem to get stuck a bit

No doubt it was given to you precisely because the previous owner was having
problems with it.

Most common issue with DVD players is a bad pickup. Sorry. This puts it way
out of the range of an economical repair, even if parts are available (which
they probably aren't anyway for a cheapie).
