Don't buy this - your DVDs will be ruined

I bought one of these discs years ago when they first came out. My DVDs have been there for years. Now some of these DVDs cannot be played due to heat warping around the bottom edge in the tray. These aren't scratches. It's a discoloration that looks like a rainbow. You see, in this device, DVDs are always erected by the edges and lie there in a closed and hot space. And if they sit there for a long time and you don't play with them to turn them, the bottom edges will eventually get damaged. They are no longer playable. You cannot clean them with toothpaste or baking soda to remove scratches because there are no scratches. This is thermal damage. I had to buy about 100 DVDs from my collection. Luckily, they're a lot cheaper now than they were when I paid $20 for them. So please don't repeat my mistake. Don't buy a DVD changer that stores your DVDs vertically. It's better to copy them to high-capacity hard drive with software like DVDFab and use media server like Plex to stream them to TV via DLNA media players like Xbox, PS3, Rocu, etc. Then store the original DVD in a good, cool and dry place.
