Yes, that's really annoying. They're slow overall, right from
start-up. Plus they keep switching themselves off every twenty

Really? My cheapie panasonic DVD player doesn't do that. It's slow as

noticed it switching off on its own.

Yes. I have a Panasonic and it doesn't switch off. My Pioneer does,
however.
