Hi - I`ve trawled through the site to see if there`s anything like this gone before to no avail so here goes...
My dad has a Logix 3300D player which seems to have trouble with certain discs. Example: "About a boy" and "Holy Grail" - both stick for a fraction of a second (sound and vision) every 20 or 30 seconds or so, rendering them unwatchable. Whereas the latest "Billy Connolly live" and "League of Gentlemen xmas special" dvds work perfectly (well, they don`t stick anyway.)
I tried the region hack and that screwed it up totally - so my conclusion is one of these two: 1) the player is shagged and needs to go back or 2) it has a problem with dual-layer discs.... I`m really unsure about the 2nd one - I`m not technically literate enough!
If anyone can shed light on this it would be very much appreciated! thanks Rob

I`ve got the same DVD player.
I`ve also got Holy Grail, second copy from Tesco actually because the first was totally unwatchable. This copy does work ok but occasionally does the same thing you describe. Maybe once or twice, then the film carries on ok.
All my other dvd`s work ok, with a slight delay in sound, most noticeable with dialogue. I`ve recently done a multi region hack job which didn`t seem to harm it. I can live with the sound delay, if anyone can tell me it`s normal !!
