I have a dvd player that is a few months old. Fine till a week ago. Now very regularly when playing a dvd it will prematurely jump ahead to the next "chapter" of a movie before the one currently playing has ended. Or to a later chapter break, not necessarily the next. It now does this regularly enough to make dvds more or less unwatchable. And it does it even when I play brand new dvds straight out of their cellophane so it's definitely the machine, not the disk that's the problem. Is there a simple fix for this or do I need to get a new dvd?
How many months old is the unit? If it is less than 6, try for a warranty repair or replacement. Please post the make and model so we can help further.
