Don't have the disc or the player, but want to suggest you try the disc on another player, just to be able to rule out an incompatibility issue.

It is entirely possible that an entire run of discs could be faulty and bad. I ran across this with discs from the Die Hard 2 bonus disc in the box set. When my copy of the disc glitched and pixeled up, I examined the data side of the disc, and I could see wrinkles and bumps on the aluminum layer, underneath the clear plastic surface.

I bought my boxset at a Fry's Electronics store, as did my friend, only his store was about 400 miles away. We bought both our copies at about the same time, so I asked him to check his disc. Sure enough, his disc was faulty too. We were lucky to be able to exchange ours for new sets that was free from defects.

So if you can, check the data side of the disc to see if you can see any bumps or wrinkles. Discs can be glitchy even if the surfaces look perfectly smooth, but wrinkles and bumps show that there is an obvious manufacturer's defect.
