sound cuts out playing dvd

[janetinbuhl]

I have an inexpensive Seiki DVD player. I use it at Christmas to watch Christmas DVD's. This year the sound start cutting out during the playback. I checked all the cables, and they are all secure. Do I just need to buy a new player?

Not necessarily.

Try another known working cables.

Try other known working DVDs.

The key is to eliminate possible causes that clearly narrow the problem down to one involved component.

May or may not be the DVD player.....

I have tried other DVD's and other cables. Still the same.

Seems to narrow down the problem to "inexpensive Seiki DVD player".

New player may be necessary.....

Nothing to lose by opening up the existing DVD player (if possible) and looking inside for loose connections and cables.
