Clean the laser. Or if you are renting from your local video store, clean the DVDs. People leave all sorts of finger prints on DVDs and they often will not work right, until cleaned.
Follow Ups:
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
