I have known others who have purchased either TV/DVD or TV/VCR combos in the past, only to find that the TV would outlive the DVD player or VCR that is built in. Same story goes for VCR/DVD combos...I once bought a Philips Magnavox VCR/DVD combo unit at Wal-Mart, and a month or so later, the VCR starts eating up tapes. I had to exchange it for another one, which is working OK so far. However, you can't buy stand-alone VCR's anymore. A suggestion to the Haier TV owner...buy a separate DVD player and plug it into the TV's HDMI port, instead of relying on the built-in unit. Most built-in units are cheaply made anyway, especially with a discount-store brand like Haier.
