You may be seeing the results of what the laser has to do about midway through a movie, and that is the laser coming to the end of a disc, then re-focusing onto the second layer of the disc which takes a second, in order to "backtrack" the disc and complete the show. Normal on all sets, and is the nature of the beast. Some higher end players don't do this as obviously due to larger "buffer" memory to help "smooth" over any delays in pix and sound...accordianman
Okay, then. You therefore, are having a problem with either dirt or the laser assembly needs an alignment tweak...accordianmanOkay, then. You therefore, are having a problem with either dirt or the laser assembly needs an alignment tweak...accordianman

turn off and, unplug your DVD recorder remove the six screws holding on the top tilt the back of the top up disengage the front of the top and set it aside look for a small laser tag this will point to a 1/4 inch glass lense this is the laser taking rubbing alcohol on a q-tip gently clean the lense with a twirling circular motion
Three suggestions: 1) take it apart and clean the laser and the spindle 'hub' that the DVD rests on OR 2) get a 'cleaner' disk that will 'whisk' any dust from the laser diode. OR as a final suggestion 3) replace the DVD recorder with another. Plain old EIDE parallel interface units fit fine. This is a very friendly machine in that it will accept PC compatible hard disks and DVDR drives. tom
hi most of the time a cleaning disk or canned air is not enough but you can tray it, you have to open your dvd player and clean you laser lens whit a cotton swabs and alcohol do not use peroxide. Do it slowly and be careful bye and good chance.
Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.
sounds like theres an obstuction with the slider rail. This is the small metal bar that the laser assy rides on. Also check the drive system. It could be a gear to gear system or a belt to gear system. There could be also a cable blocking the laser from tracking. This is a hard call without seeing the unit But you have to remeber to unplug the unit before taking odff the top. Good Luck
thank you accordianman,but this problem persists to the end of the disc.
