CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

[Gunner]

I have had a weird issue with my SGT 250 as of late. For whatever reason whenever I play ANY disc, the movie plays perfectly until around the 50-52 minute mark of each side at which time it becomes all srambled and skipping. Basically it doesnt allow me to finish the last minute of a movie regardless of which side of the disc. It is almost like the stylus hits a wall at the end of the disc and won't continue. Anyone else seen this happen? Maybe dust at the end of a disc groove??

Try and take the stylus cover off, if there is anything on the player take it off too! Let me know if it works with stylus door off?

Thanks Ryan will do!

You were totally right Ryan. I had a small flatscreen tv sitting on top of the player in the bedroom. I didn't think it was a big deal as it is very light. Anyway I took it off the player and now it works perfectly! Once again, you came through!! Thanks buddy!!!

i had this happen to me too, the early 250's have a different stylus hatch door, that could sometimes hang up the tracking arm, the later models had a modified hatch cover and there was a bulletin on how to shave down the old door
