my queen the game dvd audio skips when i try to play the 96/24 stereo portion on my denon 2900. the disc also has extreme problems on a philips vcr dvd combo it won't even play half the tracks on it.
my other queen disc a night at the opera dvd audio hollywood. has the same skipping problem on the denon 2900 when playing 96/24 stereo. and on the philips it plays fine.

does anyone know if the skipping in stereo is common for these two dvd audio titles. if i bought another copy would it do the same?

in order to listen to them them in stereo i have to set my denon to 2 channel and play the mlp 5.1. i guess these titles have smart downmixing because it sounds good.

I have a denon 1920 nad this disc, i just popped it in and listen to it in stereo and no problems. Skipped through the songs listening to about a min of each and no problems. Sound like you disc is messed up, especially since it did that on 2 players

replacement queen disc faulty too

i bought a brand new queen the game dvd audio to replace my other one and it does the identical thing. the philips i refered to earlier is actually a samsung my mistake. the queen disc will not play half the tracks on the samsung . on the denon 2900 it kind of skips hear and there on certain 96/24 stereo tracks. meanwhile i have a cheap koss dvd player and the stereo tracks work perfectly on it. could it be that some dvd audio discs have a flaw that make them incompatible with some players.
i have another thread posted here about an eagles hotel california dvd audio that would not play on my denon 2900.

having read a couple similar posts, I wonder, do you have children? small siblings with greasy fingers? I too have the Game and have never had problems on either of my Pioneer Elites playing either advanced resolution track.

queen the game dvd audio defect post office x ray???

i got the brand new dvd audio disc straight out of the case by the edges and put it straight in the player. both my copies of the game by queen skip in the same spots. the first skip is always on crazy little thing called love about a minute into the song on the denon 2900. the samsung refuses to play the exact same tracks on both discs . so it is obviously a flaw in the discs. i have the two dvd players ran to seperate receivers and speakers. the discs perform perfectly on koss dvd player in another room. the only thing the samsung and denon have in common are that they are on the same surge protector i don't think that would cause the problem. i have heard that post office x-ray machines damage discs and i get all my music by mail could this be a possible cause?????????

I also had a problem with The Game DVD-A disc. It actually was a contributing factor in deciding my Toshiba player was in need of replacement.
Since getting a Yamaha player the disc plays fine.
I was convinced up until now that the problem was the player. Now I'm not sure.

Is it possible that there may be an incompatibility problem?????

Had a similar problem with the NIN The Downward Spiral SACD. Took the disc back and had them replace it - no problem now. X-ray is not the cause, because this disc worked fine when I first got it.
