What's wrong with my DVD player?

I own a Denon 2910 DVD player. It has worked flawlessly since I purchased (new) it. The hours on it are very low. The other day while watching (it's not the DVDs, cleaned them, happens in different parts of the DVD etc) a movie the picture freezes and then goes back to the beginning. Happens over and over again. The picture quality, however, is excellent. The longest playing time before a picture freeze, has been 10 minutes, but it happens more like every three or four minutes. Is there anybody who has had this experience with the 2910 or any other player? Thanks in advance. warren

You guys were dead on. I don't know how I did it, but there was a button on my hand control that said angle, but no prompts came up on the screen. But, after playing around with it for a while: pay dirt!! Thanks so much

Warren, I would not blame yourself. Sounds like a glitch with the player (all of them). There is no reason it should do that.

That's awesome. Glad that did the trick.. the same thing happened on my brother's Denon player and he got lucky in figuring it out and passed the fix on to me. -jz

Well, I spoke too soon. It's not working. The angle thing just doesn't cut it. What appears (momentarily) in the corner is the chapter and section of the movie. Then back to the beginning. It was going a bit longer before the freeze/back to the beginning thing. BTW, why would my DVD player possibly run hot, if it hasn't been doing that for the past 4 years? It's not on long enough to get hot before the freeze.
