Is it normal for a player to make a loud sound when I play a DVD?
Does anyone know if it normal for a dvd to make a loud sound when it is spinning in my pioneer dvd player tray? It seems as if some dvds make a louder noise than others. Even with the tv volume turned up, this noise is still annoying. I clean my dvd lense on a regular basis but this doesn't help. Is there any way to eliminate (or reduce) this noise?

What kind of noise is it? It shouldn't have anything to do with the laser lens. Might be a bad bearing on the motor assembly. Could also be an out of balance DVD, but unless it was really severely out of balance, it shouldn't make too much noise unless it's a high speed device like a DVD-ROM in your computer.

If you've got a carpenter's level, I'd suggest checking to make sure that whatever the player is sitting on is exactly level. If it's a little slanted, you will get sound because the disc is scraping the tray. You may not notice damage to the disc or the tray if it's just the edge of the disc hitting it.

Rush Hour 2 makes a whirring sound on my Panasonic PV-D4752. A rental copy of the movie made the sound and so did a new copy I bought. Weird - as it's the only DVD to ever do this on my player. Doesn't bother me though since the volume of my home theater drowns out the whirring sound.
