Query: thanks, but no thanks

I purchased this dvd player to replace a really nice GE. Yes, this will play a photo cd and it is very slim and light. But the bad parts are this - it is kind of slow to start up. If you stop or pause the dvd for over 3 minutes the whole thing shuts down. If it doesn't like the TV you connect it to you will have a 1-3" distortion all along the top of your screen. I'd return it if I could and just get a cheapie that would last until I upgrade to HD cable and new tellie.
