Page 1 of Problems with Sony DAVS-300 !!! HELP NEEDED

I own a Sony DAVS-300 dvd player, just lately on 2 separate occaisions Ive encountered problems playing discs, the picture freezes but the display counter continues ticking on, it sounds like the disc is stuttering and cant play ? Then the screen turns blue, and a code C:13:00 (or something like that) appears. The machine is multi-region, but its done this playing both a Region 1 disc and a Region 2 now………

Does anyone know what that code means ? Is my machine buggered or on the way out ??

I have a Sony DAVS-300 but it ain`t multi region!! Did you have yours chipped ? If the code "C:13:00" appears in a small blue box then it might be something to do with the transfer rate , there is a button on the remote for this. I presume you have looked in the manual at the list of errors?

Nah mate, Ive looked high and low for the instruction manual, but it must of been lost when I moved house !!. Since I posted my first thread things have gotten worse, the machine is definately not working right, it wont accept some discs now, skips and stops, its f***ed ! Ive called in the service engineers, they can sort it out !! Fortunately I took out a 5 year service plan.
