Hello,

I have the same problem with playing DVD's although music CD's play fine! I have tied a basic cleaner disc but this had made no difference. I was wondering too if it is worth getting it repaired or if there was some sort of service manual to look at (if anyone has one!).

Also, I have seen a cheap DVD player for sale with loads of connections on it but not sure how to connect it to the Sony system so I can still use it for the surround sound. If anyone can suggest the easiest and cheapest way I will do this for now. Just seems a waste of money to give up onthe Sony as it is in MINT condition!

Anyways, any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Carruss.

Lasers are mechanical and focusing parts. Over time, mechanical parts can wear out and focusing parts lose focus.

Try a wet/dry laser cleaner using alchol based cleaner. If this doesn't work, connect a cheap DVD player to it so the Sony system can provide audio....
