Hello, Thanks to everyone who has provided information about DVD players. Although the situation sounds far from perfect, it does seem as if you can at least access the main part of a disk without too much trouble. Jill and Clare, I'd be interested to know the model numbers of your players if you can provide them. They both sound to have some useful features, especially the language button which, by the sounds of it, would be useful for accessing the audio-described sound track on any DVD which comes with this capability. Thanks, Caroline. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
