Bones Season 3 Disc Issues (1 Viewer)

[Bryan X]

Anyone having problems with Disc 1 of the Bones: Season 3 set? When I put Disc 1 in any of my players, the disc plays, but the player makes loud vibrating sound the whole time. You can actually feel the unit vibrate. It's like the disc is unbalanced if that makes any sense. Strangely, the video looks and sounds absolutely fine-- it just makes the player sound like it's going to vibrate to death. I put any of the other discs in the set in my players and they play flawlessly without the vibration.

Just wondering if this is an isolated incident or if others are having the problem.

That's not a disk problem, it's a hardware problem. Especially if your DVD player is shaking.

How do you arrive at that conclusion since it is ONLY the one disc. No other disc does this and it does it on EVERY player. To me, that doesn't indicate a hardware issue.

If your hardware is shaking, it's your hardware. DVD's don't do that.

Mark,

Maybe I'm not explaining well. All my players are quiet when reading discs. When I put this one disc in, SOMETHING (whether it's the disc or the drive working extra hard to read the disc) inside the drive makes significantly more noise and I can feel that noise when I put my hand on the player. It's not like the player is shaking off the shelf. But the noise the disc makes is enough to feel the sound vibrations. Yet strangely, the disc plays and sounds fine.

I appreciate your input about it being a hardware issue, but if you really think it's a hardware issue please answer this:

How do you explain that ONLY THIS ONE disc makes EVERY dvd player in my house noisey and you can feel a vibration if you lay your hand on the player? It does this with my Toshiba A3, Sony Blu-ray S350, Sony DVD player, Sony recordable DVD player, three desktop DVD drives, and on my laptop. Yet NO OTHER DISC makes any of these players exhibit this noisey behavior.

I'm not going to try to guess what the problem is but I'd say to return the disc and give another copy a shot.

Sounds to me like the disc is a bit uneven on the surface to be honest. I had a case like this as well a while ago, a new disc fixed the problem.

I did return the disc today and no problems at all with the new disc. Strange.


I kind of thought the same thing, but didn't know if that made any sense. The sound the players made with the disc gave an impression of an unbalanced disc. But again, I don't know if that's really possible considering the disc played. I suppose it could be a nearly imperceptible defect. Anyway, before I returned the set, I set the problem disc on a flat surface and there was an ever so slight unevenness to how it layed. I don't know if that was it or not, but swapping sets did fix the problem.

Edit: Spelling

I had similar problem with another disc a few weeks ago... can't remember the name now. However, after a while it sorted itself out.

Strange, but at least you've got yours sorted!
