So, Toshiba MD9DP1 9" tv/dvd. I know, I know, but let's move on... All TV functions OK, only a few hours on the set total time. On cold start, the DVD will read the disc properly, and can select any title or chapter and start playing normally. After 15-20 min of normal play, the picture starts showing digital artifacts. A couple minutes into this, the picture starts freezing. Momentarily at first, progressing to long 10 min+ freezes with a few seconds of normal play interspersed. If I eject the disc at this point, and reload, the title screen displays, and can select between titles (highlight). On select, the system freezes. Period. If I set it to play first title on load, the first title will start, but again begins with the artifacts and freezes. Unplug set for a while, and back to the beginning. Does this with any multi title disc. I have played these discs in my other DVD players, and they function normally. Opinions? I have a parts unit I can cannibalize the DVD module from, but would like some feedback first. I should note; I got this unit off Ebay for $10. Brand new in box. The CRT was gassed and arcing badly, sending mucho HV down the neck harness. I got the 'Parts' unit cheap (case was all beat up) , and swapped the CRT from it. I was amazed the unit fired up and worked at all with all that HV zapping around, But it did. JR
