Help! Small Soldiers skipping

DaveHawk (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Saturday, 21st June 2003, 20:27

I have a Philips DVD 711 with the latest firmware. The machine is 3yrs old
and has just recently started skipping half a chapter (b 4 layer change) whilst playing Small Soldiers.
Have cleaned the lens but it still happens. Any ideas, anyone? Help appreciated.

DVD players,even at only 3 years old,are getting old.Advances in software mean older players are increasingly finding it tricky with some complicated discs.If all your other discs are fine,you will have to live with it-virtually all players from budget to high end find at least one disc they do not like.If it really bugs you or more discs cause problems then £100 will get you a good quality Toshiba from Richer Sounds,or £60 will get you a budget model from Tescos.

Thanks for the advice, I`ll stick with it for now. Sofar it`s the only disc that is skipping, maybe cleaning it in warm soapy water might help.
Cheers.
