I bought an “all in one” Panasonic home theater system (ie receiver, stereo and DVD are all one unit, not separate components) 5 years ago. Recently the DVD player refuses to play certain commercial disks I get from Netflix or Best Buy–it simply refuses to “spin” and says “Disc Error–No Play.” The only fix I’ve been able to discover is that if I play an older movie in its entirety, after the older movie is over, the player will SOMETIMES load the newer movie (Its bizarre–its like the DVD player needs to “warm up” on the older disks first). I’ve tried a disc cleaner to no avail. Anyone have a solution? Alternatively, since the audio still works great (if I can get a disc to actually play), I was wondering if I could buy a new DVD player and somehow connect it to the current home theater system so I still have surround sound without having to buy a whole new system. Is this possible or do I have to buy a whole new system?
Ok bro, first of all, it is extremely common for people to have problems playing newer disks in their older players. This is because with all of the pirating going on, disk makers have used more advanced anti-copy technology in their products. (Multi-layer encoding and other variations of that nature) So, as you have experienced, some of the older players were not designed to keep up with the changing variations (especially one that is 5 or more years old) As with all tech, DVD players have gotten more advanced as well and can handle the changes. To be honest, after five years, stuff like computers, DVD players, and cell phones etc. are often replaced by a better version.
In short, if this stereo has places in the back to plug in sound input from other sources, have at it! I don’t know much about surround sound, but I do know the standard Red White and Yellow inputs. (Red-right; White-left, Yellow-video) Set the new DVD player on top and run the audio outputs to the stereo and run the video straight to the TV.
Hope this helps.

Theater $65.33 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Theatre is a branch of the performing arts. While any performance may be considered theatre, as a performing art, it focuses almost exclusively on live performers creating a self contained drama. A performance qualifies as dramatic by creating a representational illusion. By this broad definition, theatre has existed since the dawn of man, as a result of the human tendency for storytelling. Since its inception, theatre has come to take on many forms, utilizing speech, gesture, music, dance, and spectacle, combining the other performing arts, often as well as the visual arts, into a single artistic form. The word derives from the Ancient Greek theatron ( ) meaning the seeing place. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
