Pioneer XV-DV313 DVD/CD Home Theatre System?

I had the same problem last year and cleaned mine with compressed air - Had no problems since... Until last night. Tried cleaning again with compressed air and with alcohol/cotton bud. Now wont play any DVD's at all just CD's. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm actually thinking of buying a new one - It's annoyed me so much!!

I had the same problem with any rented or any new movie dvds. Solved the problem by taking the lid off by removing the screws and cleaning the laser with an ear bud and some vodka. Job done, all dvds will play.

I have the same problem. I have to clean the lens twice before it reads any dvd. Very annoying.
