RE: Philips player skips and freezes

Hi Folks

thanks for the replies. I brought it back to the dealers, Richer Sounds, and they sent it off for repair. They couldn`t give me any detail on what was fixed other than "a module was replaced". The disk in question now plays without any problems so it`s happy days

Cheers,

Philips player skips and freezes

Hi,

I`ve been hitting problems with my Philips LX7000 dvd/sound system. I got it about 7 months ago. Some discs skip/freeze in the second half of the movie. I orignally thought it was the discs at fault and went back to the store to get them replaced which did work in some cases. Now I see the problem more often. I brought the system back to the seller and asked them to play a disk that would freeze/skip in exactly the same places - this worked perfectly in their system. What seems to happen is that the DVD player is searching for the track on the disk but can`t find it - I had something like this before on a CD player - you could hear the laser moving back and forwards. The dvd plays fine on my Dad`s player as well.

Has anyone any idea what might be the problem here ? I`m thinking the laser might be out of alignment.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks
