I guess I've been lucky then. The few times I've tried it, it has
worked fine, even on a Sony DVD recorder.

I did manage to come up with a solution to this problem. I have a
pile of Playstation 3 parts, including a couple of drives. The drives
are completely different, but I found that they use the same optical
pickup as this player. I swapped the pickup into my bad drive, and
now it seems to be reading discs fine.
