Some of the Sony models have been having problems with the laser units. The

Thanks for the reply. I just found out that she had used this player
very much in the last three years, 3 to 4 hours a day not uncommon, so
I imagine it's highly likely that the laser is at the end of it's
life. Thanks again,

I bet it plays single layer discs but has trouble with dual layer
ones.

Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

The one disk it didn't play is in fact a dual layer DVD. I'll test it
more later and see if this holds true. If this is the case, is there
anythng that can economically be done?
