HiRez Poll Who, The - QUADROPHENIA (complete) [BluRay]

[Jim.olga]

Well Sh!t. I just checked my blu-ray copy of Quadrophenia and it does NOT play. (Oppo BDP-103)
Now it's just a coaster. I played it about a year ago just fine. This stinks.

That's just not acceptable. We buy this media in good faith. The manufacturers and record companies need to improve quality control and replace or compensate for defective products! The products should be perfect, especially in these overpriced collector sets!

100% agreed

There's really no economical way the replace this surround album. The blu-rays on Discogs go for over $100 easily. Wonder how many of those are bad as well? And the Live/5.1 box set ain't cheap either.

I have re-read the pages of this thread, brings back memories, Quadrophenia might be the first Blu Ray MCH I purchased?
I have since purchased the big round can version in the plastic box.

I have noticed some discs not playing conversation.

Out of thousands of discs I have only two that would not play this being one of them. It would not play on day one, in fact I returned and replaced from Amazon, 4 I think and I gave up.
I went to a McIntosh gathering at a local audio shop and Charlie from McIntosh said, take some fine sandpaper and give the inside center hole a little light sanding. I immediately went home, sanded the 1/16th" thick center hole, and after all that stress it worked.
It has since happened to at least one other disc, but I know what to do now.

Do you remember what grit of sandpaper you used?

 

[marpow]

Fine 600 or higher. You want to see a bit of plastic dust. I don't think you can do too much, within reason. Just tear off a piece and wrap around tip of your finger. Try it first in the player, sometimes it takes a little extra.

Did he give any explanation why that would work?

Do you know why this works?

I would like to know too what the rationale is.
I have yet to play test my disc I got it long ago.
This is another reason to rip and store all of your hard to replace discs something I need to get up to speed on.

If I only had the ways and means to rip the multichannel formats!
