Default DVD repair question

OK, went out for some brews last night. Person asks me about a Combo DVD/VCR
player she bought for her grandchild - not sure when - but from her manner
of speaking - not long ago.

According to her - the VCR works fine - DVD either gives a huge
"exclamation" type sign in the middle of the screen or will play the DVD
on a "split screen" type of display. Both screens - showing the same thing -
like watching the same movie on movie screens/TVs - side by side - but
scrunched up.

My first impression is to clean the lens/mechanism to see if that corrects
it. My second - "maybe" out of alignment. Not sure where to go from there.
I'm awaiting her to get back to me on a make and model OR drop it off.

Any ideas up front of where I can go assuming those two aren't the case -
OR - am I even on the right track?
