My wife and I have noticed that while watching DVD movies there is a pause or freeze in every one for just a second or so. Just wondering why they seem to put it in there.


Thanks
Dave

    It is caused by the layer change on dual layer discs.

    Layer change . Most discs are dual layered and it's normal for the dvd player to pause as it begins to read the second layer.
    Some players are better at changing then others but there will still be a slight pause.

    Layer change - My Denon DVD2800 doesn't pause. Pretty cool.
    It uses a buffer or dual lasers. Yep never a pause.

    Yeah, they cost the same a tad more than Apex dvd players, and by far work longer...
