A few months ago I got one of these headunits. I am using a 2 and a single channel amps to power 4 6" coaxials and a 12" sub. I am using a dvd with about 70 folders of mp3's in it. 95% of the time it plays fine.
However, a couple of times (including just now) it acts as though it is skipping. Playback pauses and keeps going randomly. The dvd dosn't have any scratches and it isn't directly caused by bumps running out the anti skip memory because it still does it once I'm stopped.
The wierd thing is, it only does this for the folders in the later half of the disc. I havn't worked out the exact folder were it starts doing it but the first 15 or so work fine. Then everything is fine when I go to drive next.
This leads me to think maybe it is overheating? Both times it has happened I have just been driving down the freeway for a while with the air con on. The air con may be related, not sure.
I would just take it back under warranty but it is a very intermittent problem and no doubt it wouldn't do it when I take it in. Any ideas about what the problem may be or ways to try and diagnose would be appreciated.
