First time that I've had a problem with my Panny RP56. I was watching LOTR:Extended Edition today and I noticed very choppy playback, like it was dropping frames or something right from the beginning of the movie.

You know what one I am talking about, where they are driving in a city at night, with a techno song playing, and the girl in the front seat is dancing to it? For some reason this commercial just totally annoys me. I don't know if its the music, or if it's the girl doing "the robot" to it in the...
