Some background information:
- have a Onkyo DV-CP702 6-disk DVD changer
- use the S-Video output signal from the changer
- Parental Lock is confirmed "Off"
- TV shape is confirmed "4:3 Letter box" and my TV is 4:3 -
should work on anything
- belong to 2-a-month Netflix - just standard DVD's
Problem: of the approx. 32 DVD's that Netflix has sent us, three
have refused to play. Specifically, all of the junk at the front of
the disk plays and the menu comes up with the "play" selection. When
I select play, the screen goes blank. Before and after the blanking
of the screen, the "Display" button works. After the blanking, it
indicates that it is "playing" but the run time counter registers 0.
Before tonight, the only way I had found to get out of there was to
depower and repower the changer.
Tonight, I discovered that, with the blank screen, I could hit
the "Next" button and it would skip 5 minutes into the movie and start
playing normally. Then, I could hold down the "Fast Reverse" button
and back up to very near the beginning (I chickened out at 50 seconds
from the beginning), hit "Play" and I was on my way into the movie.
This is a terrible way to have to start a DVD player! Anybody
have any ideas as to my problem? Again, this has only happened on
three disks (Titles, actually, Netflix replaced the first one that did
this and it didn't work either). I've not had any problems with the
changer on the other 29 or so disks. The DVD tonight was "The Queen"
from Miramax. I do not remember the other two titles.

Some DVD's don't play - why?
