How are you connecting the DVD player to the Receiver? And what equipment are you using?

It might not be a problem with the DVD player at all, it could be something with the receiver for example. However, I do seriously doubt that it is a issue with the disks. Also, it might be something with the amplification system which is powering your 'center' channel (that is if you are using a 5.1 system).

Short of "motivating" it with a hammer, there's not a lot you can do...part of the risk in buying "all-in-one" components like that. One part goes, you're hosed, SOL, sans paddle...take your pick.
