I've got a Westinghouse 32inch flat screen HDTV and a Phillips sound system with DVD player...Everything has worked fine till the other day I put in a rented DVD and the screen goes blank and says invalid format...this has never happened before...even one of the DVD's that played in it before has the invalid format error...some dvd's play and some dont...I seems that maybe one of the setting have been changed but I'm not sure...anybody out there know what might cause this error and how to correct it?????
Invalid Format??????

What kind of DVDs are these? Burned ones? Rentals? Retail versions?
It could either be the disks not playing nice, or maybe the laser is just goin bad or theres some dust in there. How long have you had the player?

I know off the top of my head one of the ones that would not work was pirates of the caribean and I think "you me and depree".....as far as the connection I'm not sure...I know its a ypbr connection...not sure which catagory that falls into...
Ok guys...I left out one little bit of info that might be of help in all this...I get the sound from the movies through the speaker of the home theater system but no pic...I just put in a movie that I know was working about a week ago..."open season" kids movie had to watch over and over with the kids...anyway, it wont play now...I know somebody posted that maybe I need to buy a cleaner for the dvd player..starting to think maybe that could be the case...any thoughts???? Thanks for all your input guys...
