"After about a year the internal fuse blew on our player. It had a video and a DVD stuck inside. I had to take it apart to retrieve the two items and figured I'd try replacing the fuse just to see if it would work.

"Even though this unit has left & right audio output jacks for VHS section, its VHS section only has standard monophonic audio.
