Not sure whether this should be in the hardware or software area, but I'm assuming it's a hardware related problem.
Last Spring I purchased a new Sony 875P 301 Changer to replace my JVC XV-D701BK player. I moved the JVC up to the bedroom, and use it only occationaly. I decided to try and watch Alias last night in the bedroom, and when I inserted the first disk, after attempting to read it, the player just spit the disk out again. I tried to insert it about a dozen times, and it wouldn't read the disk. I put in a different disk (Godfather Supplement disk) and it read fine. Then tried disk #2 of Alias, and the same thing happened, it would not read the disk.
This happened only once before with a rented movie, which I returned and got another which also didn't work (don't remember for sure what the movie was - it was over a year ago, but it might have been "Scary Movie").
Anyone know of problems with this player that it doesn't read certain formats of DVD's? Is there something special with the Alias disks compared to other DVD's?
Any help would be appreciated.
On a side note....If I need to look for a new DVD player for the bedroom, what's an inexpensive model that's good? I don't forsee me ever having a Dolby Digital/DTS need in the bedroom, since we'll only use the TV speakers, but we are talking about a plasma screen when the prices come down, so a progessive scan player might be nice. Looking in the $150 price range if possible.
TIA.....
