Usually a good cleaning (Shinola) solves the problem. Too often, however, cleaning does not solve the problem and I have to select a scene past the bad spot and through trial and error "rewind" to a point just past the problem. Occasionally, the disc is unplayable past that point.I'm curious if this is a common problem, or if my DV-45A is too "sensitive" to minor disc flaws. I don't have any products to clean the lens of the player (but I'm not sure if use of such products is advisable).
For the record, Netflix has always been very prompt about replacing flawed discs, and I imaging their discs see a lot of abuse in use and transit. It is still disturbing to have a film stop and the player reset in a suspenseful moment!

And here I was, foolishly thinking I was over the upgrade bug!

I've only had 2 problem discs from Netflix in the past 2 or 3 years I've been a member. One wouldn't play in my Sony 755; the other was a kid's movie that wouldn't play in my old Toshiba. Maybe your player's laser is getting out of alignment?
I always clean rental discs before I play them. I seem to have fewer problems that way. My Sony and Arcam DVD players have never had problems playing any disc that was cleaned.I also have a DV45A, and it's a bit more finicky. I don't think the error correction is as good with the Pioneer transport as it is with some others.
