Sony HDD recorder - RDR HXD870

[admin_exported]

My wife & I have been enjoying a technology leap having moved from a 1989 14" Hitachi to a Sony HDD recorder & Panasonic 26" 100HZ TV. Got HDD recoder in Jan 2007 -for £199 - lately on playback picture freezes for a few seconds - told it could be laser - any ideas? - please - would hate to throw it out - but seems silly to pay for expensive repair.

Thank-you,

Is it playback from the HDD or DVD that's the problem.If it's the latter then maybe try a cd/dvd lens cleaner.
