New member Username: Standinthere1Post Number: 2 Registered: Feb-07 | I have a Sanyo tv that I have hooked up to a dvd player to. It also runs thru Sattelite Dish or box.. The player and vcr and tv are all hooked up properly but half way thru a movie on the DVD player the movie freezes up. I thought it was my DVD player and so I purchased a new one. The same thing happens. Can it be the sattelite or am I doing something wrong.? Please help. |

New member Username: Standinthere1Post Number: 3 Registered: Feb-07 | Discs are brand new. Player on a shelf all alone and I had thought about the heat but it doesn't matter where I put it, it continues it's problem. When I first hooked all this up a year ago it was fine. This is a new problem in the last few months. I just do not understand it. |

New member Username: Standinthere1Post Number: 5 Registered: Feb-07 | thanks for the info...I'll try it...I find it hard to believe that a brand new DVD player needs to be cleaned but as I said, I'll try anything. Thanks |
