does anyone else have this problem with their tosh 210e?

hi gang,i have a 6 month old tosh 210e hooked up to my 2 yrs old sherwood newcastle doldy digital amp.it plays my dvds ok until i use the next track selection button on its remote,it changes to the next chapter ok but 7 times out of 10 the sound disapears,it will only come back on if i change my selection on the input on the sherwood remote to something else{say tv}and then back to dvd and the sound reapears! this is the second machine i have had,the first one did the same but more of it. is there something wrong with this machine as well or is it my digital amp?ps..it makes no differance if i use co-ax or optic lead,they both do the same. i am getting pretty cheesed off,can any one help?

RE: the best for £200 ?

thanks denon and clayts,i think i will go for the toshiba,it sounds too good to pass up,sorry i did not know the right forum to post in but i think most of the guys would have said the same,thanks again.

the best for £200 ?

hi guys,my old panasonic A130 has finally gone to the dvd graveyard and i am looking for a player for £200.picture quality and multi- reg are my main concerns,not so bothered about being able to play mp3 although playing cd-r,s would be an advantage,also where is the most reliable place to buy it from,thanks.

vcd players?

can any one supply a list of dvd players that will play copied vcd,s that are also about the £300 mark,and what is the best one for picture quality,thanks guys.

RE: what is wrong with my player?

thanks for the input mark,i have already tried all that you mentioned and even had it too my local panasonic dealer,whom might i say had not a clue what it was and charged me £35! to watch movies on it all day! And then to turn around and say he could not find anything wrong.well i know what brand i will not be buying when it does eventually go tits up!cheers.

what is wrong with my player?

i have a panny a130 chipped which i have had for a few years,but it is now starting to act funny on some discs,it will freeze at some stages and on other discs{music ones}it will break up into little digital squares.is my laser on the fritz or is it just funny with some discs any way,your thoughts gentlemen?
