ALBA 108 & DVDR - Problems ??

jlgmax3 (Harmless) posted this on Saturday, 30th November 2002, 18:49

I have an Alba 108 DVD player and it has problems with a few DVDRs that other players (the CH402 for example) have no problems with.

When I skip through chapters on my Alba I get the "correcting disc error" message. Then after a few seconds the player resumes play, but quite often the display doesnt display the actual time - for example, on my Grease DVDR it can skip to chapter 10 but the display still only shows say 4 mins 30 secs, and continues to count along (incorrectly !) as the DVDR plays.

I know for a fact that the DVDR discs which I have problems with have no such problems on other players, so I know that the discs themselves do not have "disc errors" as the player suggests every time I ask it to skip a chapter !!

Any suggestions ? (eg is it possible to adjust the laser on the player ?) or would I be best to take it back to Argos - assuming I can fing the receipt OK...?

Cheers !

If you`ve still got the receipt, I would take it back to Argos and see if you can get a 114 in exchange. My 114 has had no problems with any DVD-R or DVD-RW I`ve thrown at it.
