Page 1 of Troublesome Discs.

For all those who have LG DVD players,can I ask if you have trouble playing multi-layered region 2 discs. I recently bought Sixth Sense and The Siege, and have found that after about an hour both begin to jump and the sound begins to go. The Siege is the worst and wont play after Chapter 18. Are the discs dodgy or is it the player, does anyone know??... Anyone else out there who has similar problems or am I just cursed

I have had similar problems on my 709, but I have found it is due to dirty discs, especially round the edges. Try getting a CD cleaner for a tenner from PC world or similar. Works a treat. If this doesn`t cure it try different region 2 discs, and if they still do it, well I guess the machine might need a service.
Just my 2p`s worth anyway.

Cheers for the advice. bought a cleaner and its works for The Sixth Sense though The Siege is still bust. Rang the LG helpline and they offered a new upgraded player which they`re delivering this week..Apparently they`ve had similar faults on this particular model and offered the replacement with no quibble, so we`ll see if it works out.

Funny thing with those cleaners, I am assuming you got the alcohol solution one. I rented out East is East DVD from bb, again prob with the layer change. Cleaned it, still no joy. Cleaned again and again, eventually gave up. I still haven`t seen the ending so don`t ruin it for me *G*. Anyway apparently when my girlfriend tried it the next day it was fine. Go figure.
She didn`t clean it anymore, and I had checked it was dry before I tried it. Perhaps you have to leave the DVD`s alone after the cleaning for a while, you could try it with The Siege.
I may talk to RS about my 709 because it has awful probs with the layer change.

Glad it worked on 1 disc at least though. I reakon DVD`s should have been in a cartridge then we wouldn`t have these probs.
