my sony dav s400 keeps skipping on all films its around 6 years old - i am told its the laser - is it true? - can it be fixed - or should i buy a new system? - can you buy the dvd player on its own without speakers? - will the existing speakers wiring fit all sonys? thanks

hi
I have the sony dav s400, and have the same problem - can it be fixed?? if not can you buy just the player without the speakers? - are they all the same connections with the sony

MasterDoes sound like the laser. Realitically, not worth repairing. I'd say you'd be worth connecting a cheap DVD player to the system - then the Sony can carry on providing the surround sound audio and the new DVD player can provide the video. Then, if the cheap DVD player is still going, it can move to a bedroom TV if and when you replace the surround system....
Otherwise, I would imaging the speaker set (and even the non-working DVD player) on its own might fetch a reasonable price on an auction site - anyone who has a stolen DVD unit will probably be desparate for the speakers as Sony don't sell them separately!
