Pioneer playback problem!!

gingerone (Elite) posted this on Friday, 23rd November 2001, 14:25

I have a pioneer dv525, every now and again when I play a disc the drive is very noisy and the picture is really jumpy.
If I switch the power of and on this stops.
Any ideas?

If the drive is very noisy it sounds as though its not quite gripping the disc properly and so spinning it at an angle. This would mean the laser is only getting portions of information. You would need to get this seen to by a qualified engineer.

Cheers Giles, the problem seems to have stopped, although my drive does seem noisier than it used to.
Do players get noisier as they get old or this just my player?
