anyone know of where i can get a Head Unit repaired at? I have an older panisonic that i bought solely to play dvd-audio and it wont read either of the 2 dvd-a discs i have... it plays cds and dts fine but not dvd-a

Are you sure it even plays DVD-A? I know some DVD players won't.

Check the manual to confirm whether its a listed playable format or not.

well its supposed to... Model number is the CQ-DVR909U

I dont have the manual so i cant check that but it says on the face dvd-audio and specs on the net list it as compatable. Manufact date is June 2000

I don't know if this helps at all.. but here's the link to the manual.

Skimming over it, it looks like you need to turn on a few settings to get DVD-A to work.

cool thanks... im also going to try blowing out the acutal cd mechanism (its not bad but has a bit of crust in it)

i hope it doesnt require the remote.... Im downloading it now
