Problem's with Yamaha DVD 2700

[RainMan]

Hi all ,I am new here,and joined thinking this was a great place to share information about a subject that I love ,Home Theatre.
Anyway's ,has anyone else noticed that Yamaha's newest and expensive DVD 2700 player ,has issues playing DVD's with the smallest of inperfection's ?
I rented Click with Adam Sandler last night ,and there is the most miniscule scuff mark that I have ever seen on a DVD ,and this player freezes up when I suspect it get's to that area?
Well I reinstalled my inexpensive Pioneer DVD player,and same DVD with not so much as a glitch .
I am very disappointed with Yamaha to say the least . I am going to beg my dealer to take this on a trade for Pioneer's best model (well second best ,I don't want Blue Ray just yet)
This problem is not just occuring on this player . I tried a second one with the same result's .
In my opinion ,as much as I love there amp's ( I also bought the RX-V 2700)
I would not recommend there DVD player's ,they have terrible issues tracking from what it seem's . Great picture though at 720 P upconversion.
Anyone else notice this player doesn't track near as well as Pioneer ?
Thank's Rick

Well I bought the 1700 and took it back. Great picture when it likes the media. Some Burnt DVDs dont play. Send it back.

I have the 2700 and i have the same problem,it has trouble playing burnt dvd's,the same dvd that made the Yamaha freeze,played fine in my old Toshiba sd-3800,i bought the 2700 mainly for it's analog audio performances but this is ridiculous,now i'm seriously thinking about taking it back.

This will no doubt be the last time I ever purchace a Yamaha DVD player .
Hard to believe this day and age that they could design something that read's a DVD this poorly ?
As for there Amp's though ,they seem to be Ok.
I'll bet if I play back some of my older DVD movies ,that they may very well freeze up also ,as I have a few scuff's on some trying to get them out of there cases. I have changed all the cases to CD jewel boxes to prevent that ,and no longer lend any out .
Pioneer all the way now when it comes to DVD player's ,I should have known better !

I see you read the memo from J_G . Like I said Denon or oppo or just wait for a hd player later.
