If you bought the DvDs from a retail company then it may just be bad luck of the draw. Take 'em back and exchange for new copies.

Did you check to see if all the cables are secured properly?

Did you have him give you a preview of the dvd's before you purchased them?

When I say "preview", did he play the dvd's on a dvd player (connected to a tv set) and you were able to watch the movies he wanted to sell you. Or did you buy them without testing to see if they were actually working?

Live and learn, I guess.

Regardless of what he says. Put another DVD in and play it, if it works, then you have proven your player END! no arguements from him. Put them back in and now see if it happens again, also try them on your PC DVD drive if possible. Chances are you have got some duff discs. Ask why any retailer would actually take the time to check any DVD's he was selling on 3 different players unless he was testing for an anticipated fault. Ands as for testing anyway, the likelyhood of him really testing these 3 specific discs is very small, his other copies may well play but the ones you have don't. Also can't say I've ever rx'd a disc from a proper retailer without the cellophane, there is no reason to remove it unless someone is trying a fast one and selling off something they have bought to burn and sell on (I mean test is okay!) If the cellophane was still on, then how the hell he he test them?

What webhedreg is trying to tell you is:

You may have heard that some pple lie, well, you just met one.

When you buy from a shyster expect to be taken to the cleaners.

If you don't get your $$$ back, consider it the cost of learning and download your own movies OR deal with a retail store so you know where to find them when things turn sour.

Remember, it could have cost you much, much more.

You might have purchased a 45" LCD TV off the "back of the truck" only to find out when you arrived home that you just cannot play 2 bricks well at all :P)

Some lessons cost more is what I'm saying and we all have been burnt at one time or another. It's how we learned.

Cheers,

Pete
