My DVD player/recorder has been acting up lately, freezing at random points in a dvd, especially those with more than a couple of hours on them, and occasionally making a loud whirring/grinding sound. Never a good noise to hear.
So I figured the warranty must have just run out, I'd better buy another one.
Rather than splash out lots of money I went to the sales and bought a cheap Sony player for around $60, hooked it up to the tv as a "component" and tested it out. Worked like a charm. Already an all region player so I didn't have to mess around there. So now both the new player and my old player/recorder can be used without any messing around with wires.
After a couple of days I found out that the original one must have been feeling very threatened because when I tried it again it behaved perfectly, and has ever since.
