DVD skipping and pausing

[aecdesign]

I am having trouble playing some DVD's on a fairly new Sony DVD recorder. On some disks the plyback pause and hangs up like I have a dirty or scratched disc, but I don't. I've cleaned the discs as well as run a lense cleaner in the machine, but to no advail. Does anyone have any thought that I might try?

A different brand of disc, would be my next step...

Aye, get good discs. There's a reason it's mentioned in most manuals. Or, get a DVD cleaner on it.

These are store bought DVD's and I ran a disc cleaner on them.

But what brand store bought disc??? Even reputable brand names can be a poor quality. Example, Verbatims are considered some of the best of the best, but avoid those made in India...

Hi!These are store bought DVD'sDo you mean that they are commercial DVDs (of movies), or do you mean blank burnable media?

Commercial DVDs (of movies)

Commercial DVDs (of movies)Try playing them on a standalone player and or another player/recorder you have on your system or another system.

From what you've described so far, it sounds like your SONY recorder may be at fault.

BTW - By "Sony recorder", do you mean a burner that's part of your PC setup, or do you mean a tabletop recorder hooked up to your TV?

I have tryed a diffrent player, and they play fine. The Sony is a table top Player/Recorder hooked to the TV.

If it's still under warranty, return it to the place of purchase in exchange for a new one...
