Bad disc or DVD player going wacky? Please help...

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I have an 8 month old Sony NS500 DVD player that freaked out the other night while I was watching a movie. At some chapter points the machine would completely freeze up, and then skip back to an earlier part of the movie. I could fast forward past the 'sticky' spot and all would be well, but it froze and skipped a few times througout the movie.
Since the first day I bought the machine it has ccasionally 'hiccuped' at chapter points, freezing for just a half second or so, but never like it did on the disc I mentioned above.
Might the unit need cleaning at this point, or was it just a bad DVD? Or...?
Thanks for your help!
