Just recently, I have been having some sound problems...during the middle of a movie, during the layer change especially, the sound just cuts out...i usually hit the dvd button on my receiver remote to get it going again. It does not happen every time i watch a movie, just once in a while, but like i said, it started doing this like a week or so ago. I hope home theater systems last a heck of a lot longer than 6 months, so please someone tell me that nothing is wrong and that i worry too much. Thanks for any information, regardless if it is good or bad.

Brief audio dropouts are a typical occurrence when some DVD players are running some discs. Some players handle this more smoothly than others. You probably just noticed this because you may have played a slightly more "difficult" disc only recently. Nothing to be concerned about.

(Also, as a rule, feed your player only discs that are clean and scratch- and smudge-free.)

Sometimes when a dvd changes layers there might be an audio delay.

Mine does this so no biggy. ;)

Hi Jay. The older DVD players have slower transitions during layer changes on discs. This results in really small audio interruptions with your receiver or pre-amp. Newer ones in the midtier prices handle them smoothly. This used to concern me as a newbie but it really is nothing to be concerned about.
