Pioneer DV-333 freezing

[Seiichi]

hi all, i have 2 identical dvd players, both pioneer dv-333. i got one and my gf got one. we brought ours around the same month over a year ago. however, whenever my gf tried to play some dvd on her player, she will get a freeze like every 10 or 15 mins. then she has to do a quick fastward to keep watching the movie. the same disc plays perfect on my player. any ideas? thank you!

Take hers back if you can, it's just a difference in players, I have two fisher dvd players, from day one one would play svcd's better than the other, and even some vcd's if I burn them to fast the one player doesn't like them, theirs an idea, try re burning a vcd that you know freezes on hers at a slower speed, I always use 8x to be safe, see if her's still has the problem.

well, pioneer told me to have it service by an authorized service company.....i wonder if it will be cheaper to buy a new player. = (

before I would do that I would try what I sugested, try a slower burning speed or different media, that may solve your problem...

its plays VCD/SVCD both original and CD-R fine, but its the legit DVDs that i am having problems with. = (
