Bought this about a year ago, and we don't use it all that often. The last rew months whenever we played a dvd the presentation would fade from the movie to "blue screen" and back--in and out every several seconds. We tried using a dvd laser lens cleaner disk and it seemed to help for one play (watched a movie with no problems) about a month ago. However, when we tried to play another movie today it was doing it again. We used the dvd laser lens cleaner again but it didn't help.
