Page 1 of Terminator dvd r2 problems

When I try to play my terminator r2 dvd my player freezes at the menu. I know its not a problem with the disk because it plays ok on my pc
My dvd player is a proline dvd 2000 if thats any help

Have exactly the same problem and no idea what is wrong as disc 2 is okay. Have still been able to play the film by not using the menu.

As soon as the MGM logo vanishes press stop on the remote control.
Should see the blank Proline screen. Press play and the film will start (with another MGM logo) by-passing the menu (which does not appear) and should play no problems.

For scene access and subtitles you will have to select using the Active Navigation mode.

Hope this helps.

THE PROLINE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH SOME OF THE 007 SPECIAL EDITION DVD`S

i have the region 4 version and a goodmans dvd3000 player. Disc 2 works perfect but disc one the menu freezes and the selections do not highlight. If i open and close the player again and press stop, then play, i can view the movie. Same thing happens with or without my region hack

cheers for the tip, i am shortly going to test your instructions. Does anyone know of any problems with any region one discs on the proline 2000?

Thanks for the tip I tried it out and the dvd plays ok. I had to press stop a couple of times though before it stopped

Glad I could help.

As you discovered you have to get it just right. Too soon and stop does not work and too late the menu loads but at least the solution also works on yours.

There is another option I have just discovered to play the movie that might be easier. Again at the MGM logo (or you could try a bit before) press the Active Navigation mode on the remote control and then press 1 - the title indicator (top left) should change to 1 - then press play. Do this fairly quickly and before the menu loads and it will shoot straight to the menu. With this method the disc does not stop and selects the movie smoothly.

Hi Guys,

On www.thedvdforums.com, several users are reporting disk one on various JVC players causes the disk to eject !!!, but disk two works fine.

I have tried both disks(R2) on my Wharfedale 750S(Latest version) and both work normally without any problems.

Yep, same problem with the Oritron 600.

I get to the menu and can actually use the menu, but it freezes as soon as a sub-menu is brought up. I can get the it to play by ejecting the disk (the only button on the remote control that can do anything when the menu`s frozen), pressing play, thereby skipping the menu and playing the film directly.

This is the only problem that I`ve had with the player so far. It was rumoured sometime ago that there was a (UK) firmware upgrade knocking around, but I can`t find it for love or money.

Hi Heather

It seems that unlike the Proline 2000 the Oritron 600 does not lock up at the menu but you still have a problem playing the film. Discovered the web site http://allvols.virtualave.net/index.html and cannot get over how the Oritron 600 is almost identical to the Proline 2000. With your machine instead of using the remote control you could try accessing the film using the Active Navigation mode on the remote control - selecting 1 for title then press play.

You are right about the rumour of an update disc existing for the Oritron 600 but as I have also found with the rumour of the update disc for the Proline 2000 that although the disc is supposed to exist no-one seems to know where you can get it from. I wonder if the same disc would work in both players?
