I've been having some ongoing problems with my Sony Dream System model #DAV-C770 5 disc system.

I am getting skipping, freezing and other misc problems with several DVD's. I've tried the same DVD on other DVD players (including my DVD player on my PC) and there is no skipping. I've also read some posts stating the the DAV-C770 is somewhat more sensitive to scratched discs than other DVD players.

I use DVD Shrink/DVD Encrypt for my backup copies - however, this problem also happens on brand new DVD's (mostly happens on my DVD backups).

Is there anything I can do short of purchasing a new DVD player? Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Thank you.
