OK, I know this video and not audio, but I figure someone here might
be able to help. I have a fairly new DVD player that all the sudden
stopped working right.
No matter what disc I try to play, even new ones without any scrathes,
it will "freeze" for a few seconds, then play again, over and over,
until finally it says "check disc" and gives an error number
indicating that the disc is scratched or dirty. It seems to do that at
around 35:00 minutes into the disc. I've used canned air and a DVD
cleaner, but it still does it. I'm just wondering what else I can do
if anything. If I took the lid off, what would I look for as far as
cleaning it?

Hi,
It might be a problem with "the magic eye". It could either be
misaligned, dirty, or completely out of whack. It's not that expensive
to replace, although being fairly new it's hopefuly still under warranty.
Unless you know what you're doing... The laser system is pretty sensitive.

DVD pickups die like flies. Hopefully it's new enough to return it or get it
replaced under warranty.
