Seems the problem with reading DVD's on the SONY DAVS888 is indeed carried over from the earlier model, perhaps in early ones of this particular model, perhaps all of them.
Mine stopped reading for no apparent reason after 14months of light use (1dvd a week).
Repairers advised the head had failed and charged £100, funny thing was nothing intenral changed (I marked it before repair). Sure enough 4months later it's stopped reading again, won;t be using the same repairer ...
I would not advise buying one and will personally try another manufacturer for it's replacement as I have TV/VCR and DVD from Sony and they all have quirks I wouldn't expect from Sony ... not the Sony I used to know and trust.
