New Tosh Freezing

Grave Maurice (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Tuesday, 20th November 2001, 10:41

My new Toshiba 210e seems to freeze about 35 minutes into a movie for a period of about 4-5 seconds.

It`s not the dual layer transfer as it does it again literally another 35minutes further on.

It did it with Blow last night and something else new the other night.

otherwise it`s fine but it`s annoying - any suggestions?

I`ve got the Toshiba SD110E & i`ve had similar type problems with a few discs. Region 1 Se7en paused a couple of times, tried it agin a couple of days later & played fine. R2 saving Private Ryan paused about 10 minutes from the end of the film, again tried it a couple of days later but didn`t do it again. Also R2 Alien, paused about 5 minutes into the film, but again didn`t do it when I tried it again. Most of the time though it plays without any problems. Weird.

Help! I can`t find the region hack for the Toshiba SD110E anywhere! Is there an easy remote code crack or something similar? Please email me at malcolm.ross@[Remove for no-spam]earthling.net.

Much appreciated - thanks!

No remote hack must be chipped.

Must be faulty.
I`ve had no problems at all with any disc on mine. Mine is,admittedly region 2 only, but I`ve even played the dodgiest of Blackpool prom bought VCD`s of planet of the apes etc., with no probs at all.
Don`t be put off by this. Get another one and enjoy ! It`s a great machine.

I think I`ve sussed it.

If you use or fiddle about with the EOP or EOM buttons changing the sound or picture setting it would appear to cause the 4-5 second freeze but it doesn`t happen till a bit on in the film if you catch my drift.

It did it with Jurassic Park and then I suepected what it was so watched the entire movie from start to finish and then Lost World likewise with absolutely no problems.

Just don`t fiddle about with the settings during the movie. Lovely image and after the disaster of Scan i`m enjoying films again.

Can`t wait for Lord Of The Rings next year!
