Have you tried cleaning the Laser head? Bill Bill's TV Sonora,Calif. John H Smit <jsm@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hello all members With the DVD player,when I load a DVD,and try to play,it does not work most of the time. If it starts then it works for a while OK,most of the time it cuts out,and quit after a while. Now when I set the player on its left side, it always plays,no problem at all, When I lay the player in the normal position,it quit's playing So most likely,it is something mechanical. It does not make a difference,with the cover on or off I hope someone can give me a hint what to look for in a case like that. I checked the gears,but nothing I can see what that could be.
