I had problems with Netflix disks skipping etc with my old DVD player; expensive several years ago (several hundred five disk changer stereo surround sound,etc).

I bought a new $50 player a year ago and it will play any disk with absolutely no problems.

Maybe it is the ‘Russian engineering’ principle, the more low tech it is the better it actually works. ;)

Hmmm, I think I will swap out the 5-disc Sony & add the 50 dollar no name unit & test that theory.

I tell everyone I know to buy cheap no name DVD players asd they play everything. Worst players ever for me Magnavox and Sony.

I bought a $450 Toshiba DVD player eleven years ago (got a free Titanic VHS with it). It's still running but won't play some discs. It is, however, fairly good about playing scratched discs if they are clean.

I bought a $40 Phillips from wally world a year and a half ago and it has no problems at all, and will play the relative few discs that won't in the other.
