Help!..."Blocks" appearing on TV when viewing DVD

Can anyone help me?

I've been having problems watching my "Unbreakable" DVD on my Panasonic S35S DVD player on my Panasonic HDTV set. I don't know if it's the DVD itself or the player or the TV but the problem is....

"digital blocks" appear specifically on one segment of the movie everytime. I took the DVD back to Best Buy and they played it in their DVD player and it seemed fine....but since I took it back home...cleaned my DVD player with a lens cleaner (disc w/ little brushes underneath) it is still having the problems....help! Thanx.

Well if it played fine on another player . . . it sounds like your player is having a problem.

Is it a loss of info (black blocks), or pixelization (colored blocks)? I've had black blocks appear before and it turned out to be the player, not the disc.
