The Oppo is my third and by far the best DVD player i've owned. After years of flawless performance recently, while watching a movie the picture freezes. Most of the time it will continue playing after a few seconds, other times it skips scenes and other times it just freezes. All my movies come from BB and Netflix and at times I will remove the disc and clean it. Sometimes that helps, but not always. I have had similar problems with my prior units (Adcom and Marantz) after several years and feel that maybe dirt is getting on the "eye". I have a Marantz cleaning disc which is a DVD with a few small bristles on them. I have not found this to be particularly effective. Any thoughts on what this might be or suggestions as to how I might fix this?
