upside down or downside up?

Lessons in good DVD player maintenence:

1. Buy cheapest player on the Tesco market.

2. ALWAYS play US region discs in E.Europe coded player.

3. When player begins to screech (loudly) and skip, flip upside down.

4. Ignore and deny that it has any problem whatsoever.

And, Voila! watch a movie whenever (almost, it's kinda picky about which it actually will play) you little heart desires.
