Someone e-mailed me this, it's good info so I thought I would add it to this thread. Thanks Dave.
Hello, you are not alone. Although I do not own the unit you have,I have
experienced this on a number of DVD players I have owned including the DVD5000
Denon and Pioneer Elite DV09. The Sony 7000,7700,9000es that I have had are the
only ones I did not experience it on. NAD has issued statements on the condition
and it has to do with the readability of the discs themselves as they are
produced and by which studio and can also depend on the player itself. I sent my
DVD5000 back to Denon and they put in a new laser mechanism. The NAD statement
indicated their commitment to try to improve/update their players as needed to
prevent such performance glitches. The other night I rented a dvd that pixelated
and finally froze up, I gently wiped it off and it played through the same part
then staggered through a few more scenes without audio and finally cleared up
and continued playing fine. This was the DV09. Apparently there are a few
factors. Good luck. Maybe contact Theta and see wh!
at their theory is. Dave
