Worst electronic product ever purchased
This is the single worst electronic product that I have ever purchased. The unit quickly stopped reading most DVDs and was useless fairly early after purchase.

Not reliable broke down 2 weeks after warrenty expired
I have lately been disappointed with Samsung products and the 145 is another example. I bought the 145 a year ago and played a few disks and recoreded 1 time.
