A couple months ago I bought a DVD player. Since it’s primarily for use on those weekends when my children are with me, and I’m not exactly a conoisseur, I went for the lower end–specifically, an Apex AD-1500. And I saw that it was good.
Until I bought the Cats DVD, and experienced something very odd (to me, at least): while The Making of Cats sounds perfectly fine, the musical itself plays very . . . very . . . slowly. To the point where I can’t bear to watch it. I checked the rest of my extensive DVD collection (3), and couldn’t tell any difference; but then, I didn’t have anything to check them against.
Since this only happens on part of one disc, I’m (fairly) certain that it’s a problem with the disc itself. Still, I’d like to make (fairly) certain before Apex’s generous 90-day warranty runs out. Which leads to my question: I know that there are discs available that allow one to check and balance the unit’s audio; is there anything available to check the drive speed?
Any and all info, suggestions, &c. muchly(!) appreciated.
Thanks,
O
