What's wrong with my DVD player?
Im dealing with the same problem on my Integra universal player,just took the cover off,also had to remove a small metal cover to get to laser and gears, and cleaned the tracks and laser,and a couple plastic gears,,,,it was pretty gnarly in there!it is playing cds again,,something it has not done since the DVD problem started,im going to the library to pick up a couple DVDS to try ,will report back later! |
Doh! Not sure what else to suggest in your case, other than your laser pickup may need cleaning or the disc(s) may be defective. Have you tried the disc that freezes in a different player? I'm having an issue with a 96/24 DAD title not playing in my Sony DVD player. I have tried two copies of the same album and both skip and freeze badly. I have a hunch there was a problem in the manufacturing run for that title. All my other DVD's/cd's work fine..Still awaiting word from the dealer on a refund. Bummer.. -jz |
Well, I spoke too soon. It's not working. The angle thing just doesn't cut it. What appears (momentarily) in the corner is the chapter and section of the movie. Then back to the beginning. It was going a bit longer before the freeze/back to the beginning thing. BTW, why would my DVD player possibly run hot, if it hasn't been doing that for the past 4 years? It's not on long enough to get hot before the freeze. |
I agree with Sugarbrie that it sounds like it could possibly be overheating. Don't assume it is not just because it sounds too simple. I also agree that burned DVDRs can also be harder to read if some players get too hot. The second link about a Pioneer player is right on point. http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15703 http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B00007LD1X/ref=cm_cr_pr_redirect |
Try going into the setup menu in your Denon and turn the multiple angle feature "off". The picture is freezing at the parts of the movie where there is a flag for multiple camera angle and it is tripping up your display if using a digital HDMI connection to your display. You should be able to see the camera icon at the point where the picture is freezing when using an analog video connection. Let me know if this works. -jz |
