Lion King PROBLEMS???!?!?!?
I have a JVC721 and when I place Disc 1 in the player it starts up and then stops. I can't get even to the menu. The disc appears to play fine in my DVD-ROM.
Anyone else have a JVC721 or JVC723 and this disc??
I have only had trouble with one other disc and that was SW:TPM with the subtitle issue.
Thanks for the response.

I'm not having problems with the disc spinning up, but I am having problems with the "seamless" branching used for the inclusion of that unnecessary "Morning Report" scene.
I have other discs (and older releases, namely The Abyss) that use seamless branching and NONE of them pause between the transition from one scene to the next. However, with Lion King SE I'm getting a slight yet noticable pause on both the SE version (with the new animation) and the Theatrical version.
Is anyone else experiencing this? ARGH!

It depends how the disc was authored whether there's a pause or not- check out New Line's "Poison Ivy", which has both the unrated and theatrical version. There's a ton of pauses when watching the theatrical version.

I have a JVC XV-523GD and I watched the Lion King: Special Edition and I have had no problems. "Morning Report" played seamlessly. The only problem I noticed was with the subtitles when Simba says, "I walk on the wild side" the subtitle reads, "I walk on the wide side." Other than that, no problems.

LK started up ok on my JVC system. I only watch about 15 minutes of the DVD, so I cannot "Report" on the Morning Report yet.
The dvd looks and sounds (make sure you turn on the Disney EX sound, or whatever it is called) great.

I have a JVC XV-FA90BK and noticed the pause after "Morning Report" as well.
Also, since the Beauty and the Beast PE had the Roman Numeral "I" designated on the spine, I had assumed all the forthcoming PEs would continue this. The Lion King spine doesn't have "II" on it, but seems to have been intended to have it. Unless they used orange again for the color and I just can't see it... It's the same on both the case spine and the slipcover. Anyone actually get the series number?

I have a Panasonic DVD-CV52.
No problem with playback. I watched the Special Edition with Disney Enhanced Home Theater mix. I didn't notice any pause at the point of the new scene.

Just finished watching it on my PS2 (yes yes, sucky dvd player 
I'm to cheap to buy a stand alone at the moment.) I didn't notice any pauses or anything else out of the ordinary.

One thing's for sure, the sound is awesome!
