On my jd tv1300 it worked for about 10 hrs of DVD viewing. Now it stops and/or stutters the video image. I sometimes need to stop the dvd and restart it after it freezes. It also gets a snowy or distorted spotty image.
I have seen this problem a few times and is likely to be caused by one of three things: 1) The optical pickup lens has accumulated some dust/dirt/other crap and needs to be cleaned. The best way to clean the lens is with a cue tip. You may be able to do this yourself if you are very careful and can recognize what you are looking for. Lightly dampen the cue tip with WATER and very gently rub it across the surface of the lens a few times, then repeat with the dry end. Do NOT use any cleaning agents on the lens! 2) The spindle motor is not spinning the disc at a constant correct speed and may need replaced. 3) The optical pickup itself is bad and may need replaced. If cleaning the pickup fails you would need to take the unit to a pro for an estimate.
