I just bought a new Panasonic S35 DVD player. When I have played two different 2-hr rental movies in the player, I have a fine picture, but every 20 seconds there is 15 seconds of a buzzing sound, then it goes away for 20 seconds and the sound is fine, then the buzzing cycle starts up again. What is strange is that when I played a 30 minute long brand-new DVD that Blockbuster was giving away for free, which shows the new CBS TV fall line-up, I am not having the buzzing problem.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Both the rental discs had the exact same problem, which I found strange.

I just got one of those players too. Are you sure it's the audio and not the drive? The S35 seems to have some heavy vibrations at times coming from the drive. I've heard it before when watching a movie, but it doesn't happen all the time. I haven't had an audio buzzing from mine yet.

With some help from the people at Best Buy, I was able to figure out that it was the RF modulator that was causing the problem. I needed this device so I could hook up the DVD player to my 10 year old TV. I bought a better model of modulator, and now everything is fine.

By the way, I called Panasonic's 800 number, and that was a complete waste of time - they told me that I needed to send my 3 day old DVD player in for service.

Glad to hear you solved the problem. I just hope I don't have any troubles with mine as it sounds like Panasonic's customer service has their heads up their asses.
