Ok, here is the situation guys:


I have a Toshiba SD-1700 DVD player in my room. I haven't played a DVD in that player since Sept. 12. WELL: last night I put in Blade II and it started fine, but when I went to put in the DTS audio option it froze!

Try unplugging your DVD player for half an hour. I have to do this to mine roughly every six months for some reason because of the exact same problems. Mine's an older player though.

 

[AbelM]

From the oultet or from the back of the DVD player?

 

[Grant B]

from the AC outlet.
Generally this allows the unit to revert to the factory default settings. >15 minutes usually works

 

[AbelM]

Well I just took the plug out of the outlet...thanx hope this helps! Is this supposed to do something?

 

[AbelM]

Ok, thanx Grant B!!

 

[AbelM]

Well, I let it sit for an hour with the AC plug out of the DVD player popped it back in the DVD player and still nothing...


...Anything else guys?

 

[John-Miles]

Any chance its still under warranty?

 

[Neil Joseph]

If it is under warranty, it is most likely the optical unit (laser) that needs to be replaced. I have had one fallout on one of my previous players. The symptom in that case was pixelization (blockiness) when switching to layer 2 of a disk. It had trouble focusing on a dual layered disk.

No warranty...I guess I'll have to find another one!? :frowning:
