The DENONs are typical of high resolution gear of almost any kind - they are finicky. I have a DVD-3800 with which I have a love/hate relationship. I have had it almost 2 years, and it has failed twice, (DENON has fixed it both times). It still freezes up with regularity, though, and the best explanation that I can come up with is that it is simply way sensitive, reads a surface imperfection as data (it should NOT do this, however), gets confused, and freezes until it regains a stable data stream. On the plus side, the picture is way better than my 1080i DirectTV Mitsu receiver is capable of producing. I get an almost 3-dimensional image on better DVDs and the clarity can be stunning. I do however find it interesting that DENON no longer makes my particular model. I think it was removed from production in less than one year after release. Reliability issues, perhaps? Don't know, but it is a very frustrating situation. You might want to try a product from Mapleshade, it's called Micro-Smooth, and is for polishing CDs. Per other posts, it seems like a good product. I have been meaning to order some but have not yet done so. This may solve your problem. I can tell you that furious cleaning with a CD cleaner spray has helped on some DVDs that appear clean to begin with. On others, though, no help. Sorry this turned out to be so long - Joe
