Page 1 of Im at my witts end - DECCA

hello im at my witts end with the decca 2110

i brought one last week and it plays brilliantly. Probalem is that when i am playin the dvd u can hear the laser accessing the disc through the speakers. The player is very quiet mechanically though.
I took it back and exchanged it. I now have the same problem and also another one. If u look at the lcd display on the decca the left hand side is bright and the righthand side is darker, and it flickers randomly?
The noise interference is apparent when u turn the volume down or mute the decca. Can anyone else try this on theres? im not sure wether its me being really picky or a knackered player again.
i have tried changing scart leads and connecting it to my hifi and not using the tv speakers but its just the same? anyone got any ideas?

mines fine i have 2 one down stairs i up downstairs is connected via optical to dd 5.1 amp upstairs to my dolby prologic hi fi have you adjusted the silly surround sound options via remote?
