Problem with Movie quality

I have a JVC 701 and toward the end of certain movies the picture will start to get increasingly choppy. Usually I just take the disk out and go back to the spot where it messed up and it's fine. Any ideas?

Could be your player is overheating.

Is it getting adequate ventilation? Or is it ontop or below another source of heat like a receiver?

If not, you might want to try aiming a fan at it and see if this keeps it from happening. If so, they you have to decide if you want to take it in for service or see how long this stop gap action (the fan) works.

I think it is an over heating problem. I have my Primestar receiver below it, but I don't think that's causing the problem. If I take it in for service what are they going to do replace the fan? Is there even a fan inside?

hey, move your primestar receiver. i had mine on top of my receiver and it was overheating the receiver to the point it'd shut off (the receiver). once i moved it everything went back to normal. those things must put out a huge amount of heat, or not ventilate it very well.

I moved the receiver and am still having problems. I don't have any of the manuals or receipts, mother trashed them. Has anyone had any experience with JVC service center? I was going to send it to them.

It sounds like a defective unit. I really have no idea what would be causing these problems...

Can you try playing the disc on another player? If the disc is defective, you should see problems on the other player as well. If the disc plays fine elsewhere, at least you know it is the player.
