If cleaning with a cleaner disk and solution did not work, then you have to clean the lens directly.
Remove the cover and access the inside of the DVD, unplug power first.
Use soft cotton sticks and isopropyil alcohol to clean the lens, here is a picture of the lens pickup:
As usual do the job at your risk, if you want to call for repair you can use the number listed in the owner manual.

- If direct cleaning does not work, the lens pickup should be replaced, after testing that signal from and to lens is OK, but that is a job for a technician.

On some DVD's, say 50%, there is a almost unnoticeable "flicker" of pause in the video playback on my CA DVD89. It is only slight, seems to be random and can be from say 5 to 50 seconds apart. Most people don't seem to notice it unless it is pointed out to them. Possible layer transition? Audio sync?? Monitor compatability??? Repair agent can't fault. Anyone else experienced this? Any help on a solution appreciated.
