Samsung manufactured a very inexpensive VHS/DVD player under the
label, Go-Video

This unit displays very strange tracking on a favorite DVD. It seems
to 'lock up' when it gets to the track. Sometimes can't go passed the
scenes once into them. That includes PLAY, FF, and even super FF.
When the player gets to this section it just doesn't seem to go
further.

Luckily, depending on temperament of the day, the player has
'unlocked' and jumped through the "bad" section so we have seen the
end of the film. But usually takes a good six to seven or more 'back
up and forge through it' attempts.

Besides the obvious, where is a tutorial describing tracking, tracking
failures, etc?

My questions a

From the experiences of the membrs of this group who deal with actual
machines, which machine generally has the best playing and tracking?

Which DVD player is the best in terms of robustness at playing less
than perfect DVD's?

And, which machine lasts enough time to make it a purchase, not a
rental of trash?
