In Reply to: Why can't I get a DVD player that works!? posted by SJT on January 25, 2001 at 08:49:17:
I had several Sony LD players way back when, traded 'em for fresh ones as they broke down, (each in a few weeks... Finally I sold the last one as soon as I got it... Bought a demo Pioneer 3070 (list $1,200) from Sears for $500 and 9 years later the Pioneer still does it all. The moral here is if it doesn't work, AND you can take it back for an upgrade, get a different brand.
Also just an idea about the special effects on that particular disc: It may be that the special effects are in a 'layer' the bottom of the line machine doesn't play? (forgive my ignorance here) but I understand that up to 4 layers can be on one DVD disc... MY hot guess is that the Sony you have can't read one of the layers... the one with the special parts.
