About half the discs I get from Netflix cause my DV-45A to reset

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Usually a good cleaning (Shinola) solves the problem. Too often, however, cleaning does not solve the problem and I have to select a scene past the bad spot and through trial and error "rewind" to a point just past the problem. Occasionally, the disc is unplayable past that point.
I'm curious if this is a common problem, or if my DV-45A is too "sensitive" to minor disc flaws. I don't have any products to clean the lens of the player (but I'm not sure if use of such products is advisable).
For the record, Netflix has always been very prompt about replacing flawed discs, and I imaging their discs see a lot of abuse in use and transit. It is still disturbing to have a film stop and the player reset in a suspenseful moment!
