I have a five year old Sony DVD player that I won! Has always worked fine -- and still does (?). I recently purchased new "The Thorn Birds" (2 disks, both sides). Played disk 1, side A. Fine. When I started disk 1, side B, movie studio thingy started and then picture was pixelated, stuck, pixelated, then I got "dirty disk" message on my DVD player. Took out disk and used DVD cloth on it. Still wouldn't play. Tried cleaning again. No play. Tried side A again. Fine. Flipped it back to side B. It plays fine. Stopped viewing movie (though didn't turn off player) and went back to it. Fine. In the middle of disk, stopped and turned off player. Next day when I went back to viewing it again, went through the same whole routine as above -- side B doesn't play, flip to side A (OK), back to side B. It plays. (I'll be trying it a third time later today.)

What's going on? Guess I should exchange for new set?
