Sorry, upgrading receiver won't help the skipping issue, I misunderstood. Like I said before the skipping with the SD discs, I am sure, is due to that layer break, but the skipping with HD discs I don't know. I haven't been looking for solutions as I don't have a HD player.......yet.

Out of curiousity anyone know if the BR players are having these skipping issues?
