purchased this 6+ years ago and just recently the dvd player stopped reading dvds, was wondering if i could replace the dvd player itself. i think this may be the part, not sure tho

As a highly aggravated customer of a Sony DVD player (another model) who dealt with the same issue for 3 years and replaced the laser pickup twice, I would say you should cut your losses and buy another DVD player and amplifier and never look to Sony again. |

Matt, you can buy a better DVD player than the one whose part you want to replace for less money than the part cost. Time for a replacement. |

Make sure you put the DVD player in Digital Output mode so you can get the 5.1 surround. |

Look into the setup menu.
If all else fails, read the instructions. |

But only after blindly and madly flipping buttons and menus. |
