Left on DVD Too long ? sad mistake ?

Hello ,

I did a silly thing I have my cable TV connected to the dvd player-recorder[ a panasonic] and I left it on for months . I was not using it but it was on . I went to put a dvd in just now and it did not respond to the open or close command to put the dvd in . I was able to turn it off by the remote and hope it will cool off or mend the problem .
It didn't feel very hot, I really hope I didn't burn anything out .

I would very much appreciate any suggestions .

should I service & fix it ??? It's hardly used.
I would say if it was made in China no.... Don't waste your money.

2004, good chance it was made in Japan. If so I would spend $130.

This was made in japan , I agree about the china comment big time ! but all these thing are made of virtual crap it seems, and I am so tied of brake downs I have a samsung a 4 years old and now that doesn't work . the only thing that keeps on working is the fisher fvh4511 VCR that is older and was cheap .

Made in japan is a good thing but this model panasonic has had problems I have now researched

Whats really good out there, and not pricey& Strong ???

An Oppo DV-980h $169

Sony Playstation 3 off Craigslist $250

Pulleeeze... China makes perfectly fine products. What more do you want for the price people expect to pay for things.

Just don't buy a GM, Ford, or Chrysler.

Granted given all things being equal, I would buy a German, Swiss or Japanese product.

The playstation 3 is an interesting idea because it is meant to be used more interactively and is stronger ?
But how is it just for playing DVD's
as good as the panasonic ?

nothing being equal, I always buy vintage cars 50's and 60's

and things made in Europe or older american products.
