In Reply to: a DVD player that works!? Buy different brand. posted by Elizabeth on January 26, 2001 at 05:21:43:
Another possible issue that comes up more often with software players on computers, but also affects set top players, is in compatibility with some software authoring tricks- particularly multiple branching techniques. Unfortunately, it's a lot harder to update the ROM in a DVD set top player, than to update the software in a computer player- which, among many other reasons (progressive scan, scaling to custom resolutions, etc) is why I now use two computer players, in living room and bedroom.If a second Sony doesn't play that disk, and a second disk (new) also fails at the same place, its the firmware in the player. Then Elizabeth's advice to get a different player is probably the way to go.
