Yamada DVX-6700 Will not Play Discs

Before I send this DVD player back (bought after seiing it on the Grab it Now Board) has anyone got any ideas. The machine is less than 1 month old.

Problem:- Will not play discs says its loading and sometimes gets to the FBI warning page (not normally though) and stops. If it fails to get this far it just carries on saying loading.

Have tried it today with a brand new commercial bought DVD.

Any ideas anyone?

    A short sharp thump to the side of the case... Won't fix it, but it might help you.

    Oh, just saw this http://board.softpedia.com/lofiversion/index.php/t949.html. Might be worth a try. I had to update my firmware for a 2100 out of the box, but at least Yamada provided official firmware.

    What have you got to lose?

    Does your DVD player read CDR ok?

    I had a problem with a pioneer dvd reader not reading dvd movies correctly. The movie would start to play but the picture would be made up of bright green and purple blocks.

    It turned out to be a wrong choice of IDE driver.

    Yep; it reads CDR fine.

    Wrong choice of IDE driver on a standalone DVD player?
