Query: 6-month rental

The thing worked relatively well for about 6 months but it will no longer play DVDs. Audio CDs and CD-Rs of MP3s still work. From the beginning it had a one-second freeze in the display once or twice per movie. The default display is far too bright, making it difficult to even see the menu selections on some DVDs. You can adjust the brightness, but it resets with the next movie.I called APEX Customer Service and they suggested using a DVD lens cleaner or I could send it in for repair with a [$] labor charge.
