6. I'd take it back and tell them it may be defective... |
|
...sometimes they can be just defective enough to prevent them from playing in standalone machines.

Yeah. I tend to agree with the above poster. Sometimes foreign DVD's won't play on certain players but I'm not sure of the details.

Was it a commercial DVD or one that you burned yourself? |
|
If it's one that you burned, you might want to try using a different brand of media.

They're newer and some of the older players can't handle them. I have the opposite problem because my PC DVD players are newer than my stand-alone units.

10. I will never buy another Sony DVD player |
|
And it helps, I find, if every couple of showings you run a DVD cleaning disc through the Sony player.
