DVD players are increasingly using computer rom drives, which spin faster at times.. so yes, this may be perfectly normal
DVD Spinning noise normal?
I had a cheap Toshiba DVD which had spinning platter noise noticeable on quiet passages. I bought a used Sony DVD S7000 high end player which does the same thing but not on all disc's.The original owner stated he noticed it also but only on some DVD's. Any reasons why DVD players are super quiet like high end CD players? Thanks
