I have had my sumvision dvd player now for a few months and it keeps freezing periodically when watching a movie, sometimes its starts and then freezes, this is happening always now, even though I have changed from HDMI to start and vice versa, it doesnt make any diffrence?
The problem is the laser pickup assembly in the dvd, If it freezes the stepper motor which drives the worm gear along with the laser carriage is the problem, the precision in tracking is critical and any interference causes the picture to freeze. If you have any warranty on the unit I would encourage you to take it back for possible exchange, because it will get worse and finally become unusable.
