Samsung DVD-HD860 Up-Converting DVD Player
freezes
this dvd player freezes every 15 to 20 minutes on three different dvds, freezing for about 3 seconds.  I'm using a Monster HDMI cable to my samsung 40 in. LCD tv.  I know it's the dvd player because the timer on the dvd player also stops when the screen is frozen.  This is pretty much unacceptable to me for an upconversion player.  A digital break up precedes the freeze.  Also, when fast forwarding, the player will also freeze after a few seconds.  This would be so very embarrasing to have spent so much money on my new samsung LCD tv, player and cable only to have the digital picture break up and freeze in front of friends.  Again, I know it is the player because the dvd's timer freezes and it has happened on three different dvds.  I will get a Sony and hopefully this will solve the problems.  I'm having visitors from out of town next week and I don't want to feel like a fool with sub par dvd performance.
