Samsung BD-P1600 glitch

[beware]

I own a P1500 and P1600 and for being older players and not top of the line, they get the job done but are not short of glitches from time to time.

I have posted before about audio issues with the 1500 but now I want your 2 cents on an issue, even as tiny as it is, on the 1600.

I have noticed on 2 recent bluray purchases from amazon, the disc would pause almost half way through the film and make loud noises that sound like the hard drive trying to load or read the disc. I mistakenly thought it was the disc the first time it happened and replaced without incident.

However it happened tonight on a different disc. I put it in the 1500 and it played that scene without trouble. I kept the 1600 off for like 2 minutes, put the film back in and everything was perfect. (don’t know why I didn’t do that with the first disc)

So it ended up not being a disc issue, I replaced one bluray already because I thought it was. I was just wondering has anyone heard of this? It rarely happens, but it just seemed odd to me. Do players have trouble reading discs even if they played it up until a certain point? A simple restart of the player fixed it, but I was wondering if I was making a big deal out of nothing?

I was more relived it wasn’t the disc and it has only ever happened twice on this player. Probably doesn’t help I didn’t give it any rest time because I watched a 3 hr film and then almost immediately put in a 2 hr film to follow lol…(maybe 10 minutes inbetween)
