I’m not greatly into electronics, but bought a BOSE home stereo and TV system about 5 years ago.
The thing is awesome - it has AM radio, but also, it plays every single video CD or DVD I have ever put in there. I have 20+ year old pirated movie CD’s from China that it seems to have formatting for and plays flawlessly. My computers can’t even do that.
Bose. Paul Harvey used to rave about that brand.
Expensive, but maybe worth it.
