Phillips dvp642 dvd player will not play disney movies.once the movie reaches the f.b.i. anti-piracy screen , it freezes up and i have to unplug it to get it to do anything.
Playback problems with a DVD typically are caused by one of four factors: The DVD is dirty and smudged; the laser lens in the DVD player's disc drive needs cleaning; the DVD player no longer is tracking properly; or the disc is scratched. Before you throw away that DVD or turn it into a Frisbee, try these steps to determine whether the problem is truly with the disc. If so, look into whether it can be repaired. If all else fails, make friends with the clerks at your local movie-rental outlet, who encounter plenty of damaged discs and may have the know-how and equipment needed to fix them.
If you still can't fix your Disney DVD, you can also download digital Disney movies on computer. Here is a tutorial including detailed steps: How to Download Disney Movies?
Apparently this is a known issue. Some dvp642 players have compatibility issues with some of the Disney DVD's. A firmware update might help. There is a discussion of this at: http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/t317193.html
