Hi,
Has anyone else seen this problem on the 750S or any other machine ?
The machine played the entire film and all of the extra`s without any problems, except when it go to counter reading 36:10 in chapter 6 where the machine locked up completely and had to be switched off and then on again. The only way I could continue with the film was to go to chapter 7 which begins at clock reading 37:11 and it continued without further problem. I had tried it with both the DD5.1 and DTS sound tracks with the same result so it was nothing to do with the DTS sound.
Although the clock reading was only 36:10 it looked as if this was a layer change, because I saw no noticeable pause that I normally see just after the 1 minute mark on most films where the layer change normally is, so it looks like the player had a problem on this disks layer change at this point.
I have over 60 disks and other than Stigmata I have never seen a disk completely lock the player before, and am therefore very happy with the 750S, however this is a bit annoying.
Anyone know if there`s some special branching going on in chapter 6 or some fancy type of layer change that might cause this type of issue ?
Cheers
Chris

Hello, well at first my player crashed on the loading of the DVD after the warning screen, but a quick wipe of the disc and were off. The complete film played fine and all of the extra`s (bobby d`nero`s outakes, christ he can laugh).
Stigmata, beyond the promised land & final destination R2 crash my player, temporally that is.
I can`t remember seeing the layer change at all in "meet the parents". All I can think of is that the disc is slightly dodgy.
Sorry I can`t help.

Potter,
Thanks for the info.
A colleague at work has the 750S too, and his copy of MTP arrived on Friday like mine, and he watched it this weekend and said it played fine.
Another friend with a 750S has taken my copy away to see if it locks on his player, and I`m going to try the other copy on my machine tomorrow, so hopefully the combination of all of these will prove whether its a player or disk issue.
