Page 1 of Phillips model 957 and Blade DVD

I`ve bought two Blade DVDs and each one won`t cycle through to the `disk menu` page. It just keeps repeating the warning regarding use of the disk and then you get the Distributor`s screen, then it loops back to the warning and so on.......

Are these just duff disks (I`ve returned one already) or is it a known compatability problem with the 957?

I have a Phillips 711 and it does the same thing with Blade. I gave the disk to a friend with a Sony player and the disk works fine. So I would guess it is a problem with Phillips players.

I can jump out of the repeating sequence but pressing the next scene button repeatedly during the sequence, I can`t remember whether I need to do it in the warning or the Distributors screen. The jump does not happen immediately but when it gets to the end of the cycle it goes to the menu section.

This does annoy me every time I watch the disk but it is the only one I have had problems with so far.

Best of luck

Steve.


PS. Now I`ve got home and played with it, I have to keep pressing the button in the distributors screen (the bit with noise) and the button is described as `search forward / next chapter or track` in the manual.

Thanks Steve - I`ll give it a go tonight.

Philips recognise that there is a problem playing that particular disc. Philips say that Blade is out of the dvd specification for discs. You can get round it by pressing "next" once while it is cycling through the logos

Tried the `fix` last night and it worked a treat.

I`d forgotten how good the film was!

Thanks for the help and feedback - very much appreciated.
