Sips freezes then continues

After playing a movie for a little while..maybe 1/4 through, it starts to skip, then it freezes for a moment and then continues on like there was no problems. It will play the dvd fine for a little while then do it again...this continues on through the movie. I've cleaned with a laser disc cleaner, I've done the little black button trick (which solved the loading but not really loading problem) But I still can't figure out why this problem still exists. My kids use this player more than I do as we travel between states alot. I through one out and bought this one because the first one I was watching was doing the same thing...now this one...I'm not sure why, what is causing it or how to fix it...this problem occurs with new dvd's as well...please help...

Sounds to me like a laser alignment issue, quickly get a support case going with the Manufacturer as most have a one year warranty whether or not you have a receipt.

Picture freeze,long tme to restart does it again

Unless you have good / fast access to the Internet (or wireless or 4G network), it may take a long time to download a movie to your device. If the speed of download is slower than the speed of the play, the picture freezes ... essentially, it is waiting for the completion of the download for the next few frames (of the movie). That is why the picture freeze .... and it will start again after sufficient data has been download to continue / start playing (the movie) again.

It freezes while playing dvd's about every ten minutes. It does allow you to skip forward and continue playing but makes you skip an entire chapter. What causes it to freeze?

Mt SD-1800 does the same thing, plays for awhile and then gets stuck. I took it apart and cleaned the rails and the optical lens but no help. I noticed that the head did not slide back and forth without cogging. It turns out that the little pinion gear on the motor was cracked. Every revolution it would catch on the tooth by the crack. I doubt that there are replacement parts available.

Freezes during playback

Hi. What I am trying to establish from my last question is whether the laser has become heat sensitive or whether there is a bit of dust buildup on the spindle table that might be causing the disc to have excessive wobble.
If the disc has excessive wobble, then the machine will have trouble tracking the outer tracks and will constantly skip as you have described after say 30 to 45 minutes.
If the laser has become heat sensitive then the same problem could potentially occur - The only difference being that if you were to restart the movie at that point, then the skipping would continue even at the beginning of the movie.
The first problem (wobble) is easy to fix - Clean the spindle table, the second problem may render the unit uneconomical to repair.
