    When using my 6625 to watch DVDs, there is a very loud whirring/buzzing noise which sounds a bit like a chainsaw :p I'm not sure what's causing this, and it sometimes goes away if I take the disc out and put it back in, but I don't like to risk it in case damage occurs. What are some possible causes of this?

    Disc uneven, disc with a cover (like on rented dvds).. What I sometimes do is I place the DVD lightly on the tray with the center aligned and spin it with my hand and while it's still spinning I push it down onto the center thing so that it's locked in. (Though I'm not sure if that does anything at all, or more harm than good)
