After 10 min. of play time the dvd stops working

The dvd plays to begin with but when it warms up,(after 10 min of play time) the picture freezes. After shutting it off and trying again it says bad disc. With my eye I think the dvd is not spinning fast enough to play correctly. What would cause it to slow down after playing for a few minutes

This is most likely a problem with the power supply to the drive motor. A component is breaking down and the supply voltage is dropping below operational levels after warming up.This is a problem that needs service in a service center or someone who is a experienced electronic technician to take apart the unit and test it for bad components.Hope this help you with your problems.

Picture freezes while dvd player playing

The problem is in the laser pickup assembly, the stepper motor that moves the laser is sticking on the worm gear or excessive ware on the gear linkage is preventing it from moving.

PS3 freezes but sound still works

when it happens, give it some time, like 5-10 min. the ps3 is most likely accessing the hard drive, and if it is, shutting down in the middle of it could currupt your hdd. if it doesnt work, even after 10 min, call sony tech support, but if it works fine afterwords, i dont see why it would be neccessary. unless it gets worse, i think you should just turn it on, turn it off after a few min, then back on, and then play.

Sa-mt1, picture freeze after ab 50 min-1h,than stops;

First of all,if you are using rental dvds, there might be scratch which your dvd player might have an issue to read it;however,if you have tried many dvds in this player and you are having this issue, it is time to move on to another dvd player.
I recommend a Pioneer dvd player.
