Video Playback / Recording Devices

toshiba vcr/dvd

I have a 3 month old Toshiba VCR/DVD which recorded fine for approx.2 1/2 months. Now, although it records the timer program, on play back it "jumps" the entire viewing time. I bought new tapes - the same result. I have read the book over and over and have engaged the auto tracking and tried the manual tracking to no avail. I have put in a store bought movie and that plays just fine. I cannot find what might be causing this. I have also purchased a brand new Toshiba TV, so the TV is not the problem. can anyone help? thank you

Where can I find a DVD player belt?

I have an Apex AD-3201 DVD player in which the belt that drives the loading drawer broke. I would like to know where to obtain a new one! All efforts have been fruitless thus far. I am considering a small rubber band, but they are softer and I don't think it will last very long. All advice is appreciated.

Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD

Just read another article on the new High-Def DVD formats (Blu-Ray and HD-DVD). I have to say that it still looks to me like Blu-Ray will win the day.

HDTV Magazine article

Check out the list of companies backing them, and notice that Disney just signed on.

DVP-S560D problem!

I have a sony home dvd player which suddenly stopped working a few days ago. When I turn the player on I get fairly large blocks across the entire screen. A DVD will play, but the images are very distorted. These multi-colored blocks are quite annoying. This occurs with or without a DVD in the player. For example, the standard screen encountered upon powering up the DVD(the screen that says insert DVD) is also distorted? Any ideas? It occus when I use the standards yellow, white, red cables or if I use the the S-video cables. Any ideas?

DVD Players spins then shuts off

I have a Toshiba SD-3805 5-disc dvd player and its to the point where if I turn it on, it will spin for about 3 seconds, then shut off. If I try to power it on after that, it will do the same thing. No discs are in, and nothing is stuck in the tray. Any ideas? Thanks.
