I own a Sony DVD player as well as a GO Video DVD player. Funny thing my Go Video DVD player is a recorder that is no longer recording. So it's crap right? wrong it's the only DVD player I own that plays DVDs that are from Sony pictures. Yes. whenever I make a backup of my purchase movies that happen to be by Sony it will skip or something else. I wondering if any of you have experience the same thing? Anywho I'm done with Sony DVD players and will be purchasing another brand as soon as possible.
