You bought the thing. Before I forked over my cash, I made sure to check
that my DVD player had a dual pickup before I bought it. Since I have been
interested in DVD since it was announced, I was well versed in the three
major compatibility problems of the format, and managed to purchase a unit
which worked around all of them. (The three problems being macrovision
(cannot route through a VCR), region coding (cannot play imported DVDs) and
CD-R invisibility.)
