Have you checked your settings under "play mode" I had to switch to menu mode to fix this problem for me.

You're right.It did help. Thank you.
I had completely forgotten about this setting.
I must have put in in menu mode years ago and forgotten about it.
So that was the blu-ray problem solved.
Now my dvd problem.
Signals, the menu problem was with blu-rays, and the playback problem is with dvds as my OP states.
Anyway the dvd critical error is only when player mode is on simple. I have no problems when using menu mode.
