I have been noticing freezes lately when I am playing a DVD. When this happens, the DVD freezes and all functions on the remote as well as the player are lost. I would turn off the power manually and wait for some time to pass. Most of the time, this fixes the problem. Sometimes, when I turn back on the player I would see some gibberish (like a half lit display showing some ?matrix? style letters) on the display and the player does not start up properly. When this happens, I would allow for more time for the player to be turned off and it does the trick until now. The last time the player froze, it was about 3 days ago. And every time I have tried to turn it back on, I would get the same gibberish on the display and the player is non-responsive to any command. It has never taken this long before for the player to return to normal. Do you think this is an overheating issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same issue... SOLVED
If you switch on the system touch the low-frequency caps (3200 uF (25V)) you will notice the caps are hot. This is caused by the age of the system because the cap's electrolyte is aged and caps loose insulating and start being utilizator. In this case all the egress 6V stadium is overloaded and the IC (7806) overheat.
In my case one of the caps was unsoldered... (extracurrent/heat???) so I have replaced the caps and mounted a little fan (12V - 6cm x 0.8 cm) in the case just near 7806 heatsink, this fan pull the hot air from the chassis ant put it out.
Now the system seems running well.
Sorry for my poor english

I do not have an schematic for this item but from your complaint you must have the prossessor change.and your set will return to normal.WHAT HAPPEN IS THAT WHEN THE CURRENT PASSES THROUGH THE IC IT BECOMESW HOT CAUSING IT TO FAIL.

Upon further examination, I actually do have some controls of the remote like going into setup, turning volume up and down, etc. But the player seems to be stuck in DVD mode but won't play or eject the DVD inside. And when I try to change the player to Aux or Radio mode, the player just turns off.
I think that if I can somehow get the DVD tray to open and take the DVD out, I might be alright. Does anyone know how I can do this manually?
