Toshiba 4960 as a DVD-A transport


I've been using a 4960 as a DVDA transport but recently it has had some difficulties reading DVD+R and (-R) discs. I get random pops where the player is having dificulties reading. I only play my masters of live performances that I have recorded in 96/24 and transfered via Wavelab to disc.

I did some trouble shooting and it is the player not my DA. There are 3 possibilities to solving the problem on this nearly one year old player:

1) Contact Toshiba and see if they will fix it. I think the warrenty is only 90 days though and when I was having problems with my rear projection they weren't the most consumer friendly people so I think they won't help.

2) Send it in for repair. Although, this is a cheap unit that cost $129 and repairs may cost significantly more.

3) Buy a new unit.

Does anyone have any other thoughts or comments on the above ideas or further thoughts?

Since the 4690 has a history of crapping out on DVDA's should I realy look at buying another one?
I'm pretty familar with the mods that have been done, but since I'm only using it as a transport into my MSB Gold Link III, they really don't serve my purpose.

Thanks for the thoughts, though!

Maybe, but they also crap out and as I have stated I'm trying to avoid buying dixie cups.
