Proline 2000 problem

Scott Grenney (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Tuesday, 6th March 2001, 15:18

Hi,

I was half way through watching "Spaced" when the player froze. Nothing on the remote worked so I tried to first stop the dvd (I think it already had as it made a few noises as like it was trying to read the disc). In the end I managed to get to the dvd player`s main menu and tried to re-read the dvd. It would not have it, so I tried another dvd which I had used before and again it refused to read it. I`ve tried powering it off / on and done everything I can think of to fix it. Looks like it`s dead :(

Is this a known problem? Or could this be a temp problem which I might be able to fix? I`ve got an electronics engineering background, but never been inside a dvd player so doubt it would be a good idea going in :/

i had one of those pooline 2000 players , but im all better now (thank f***).
if you go to the left hand side of the web page and do a search you should find all the complaints about this p o s or try www.deja.com for another search. btw i hope that it wasn`t bought from c*m*t because if it was then you are in for a lot of grief.

Why is the Proline 2000 so s***e?

The 1000 model got really good reviews and has never failed me in any way, never rejected a disc or anything.

What were they thinking when they upgraded it? Did they mean to put a turd inside the new machine?

Some things just dont make sense.

the 1000 and the 2000 are made by different companies (the 2000 is an oritron - very bad reputation for faulty players)
i also had mine from comet and even though it clearly had several faults, it took me nearly three months to get a refund and im not the only one!

Ahh right thats ok, that makes sense.

I am totally satisfied with my 1000, it has given me a fantastic introduction to DVD and is flawless, for what it offers. Unless you dont like gold of course.

Aye.
