Re: a DVD player that works!? Buy different brand.

Another possible issue that comes up more often with software players on computers, but also affects set top players, is in compatibility with some software authoring tricks- particularly multiple branching techniques. Unfortunately, it's a lot harder to update the ROM in a DVD set top player, than to update the software in a computer player- which, among many other reasons (progressive scan, scaling to custom resolutions, etc) is why I now use two computer players, in living room and bedroom.

If a second Sony doesn't play that disk, and a second disk (new) also fails at the same place, its the firmware in the player. Then Elizabeth's advice to get a different player is probably the way to go.
