Dvd Player Problems

[paulfr]

My DVD player is driving me nuts.

Most of a movie I watch plays fine and then .....

It begins stopping (for 2-10 seconds) and then starting.

One misses the action/dialog in the 'off' period.

It does this with most to all DVDs I play.

All the DVDs play fine on my laptop DVD player.

I have looked for a tracking adjustment or some other adjustment

without success.

Any suggestions ??

Dirty compnents ? How do I clean ?

Samsung machine.

Thanks

Don't know how old your machine is or even more important how many DVDs you've played. You should be able to get a DVD cleaner disk, someone may know where. I have a CD cleaner CD and perhaps that type can work in the player. Some have a playable track on it so the player thinks it has something useful in it and when it runs cleans the optics.

Worst case scenario buy a new one - dvd players are so inexpensive these days, so not even worth the bother to be fiddling.
