Blue Ray that Plays rented Movies????

Hi All. I have a Samsung Blue Ray Player, we have had for a year or so. In fact we probably just got done paying it off. lol

Anyway, it plays all our home movies great! Plays both DVD and Blue Ray with very quick processing, which I am happy with. It also streams off NetFlicks great as well.

However if I rent a movie, and it has the slightest imperfection, it sticks, and the screen freezes and you just hear a tick tick tick sound as the disc goes round and round. We can play the same movie in our old DVD player and watch it without a hickup!

Is there another player I might be able to use, that wont be so critical, Were about at the point of hooking up the old DVD player, and just skipping using the Blue Ray with rented movies, as I have not seen one in years, that does not freeze at least once since I have owned this.

Buy regular Lemon Pledge in the yellow can and spray the offending disc, wipe it off with a lens cleaning cloth or super soft towel and see if that helps. Pledge fills in fine scratches and usually works like a charm for a few viewings. I use it on my eyeglasses, too for the same reason: fine scratches disappear.

Rental discs are notoriously scratched up whereas your personal discs are likely pristine and that's why they don't hiccup like the rentals.
