[Arrrgh!]

I have a Panasonic SC HT520 which has ceased to stop playing DVDs (apparently the work to fix will cost more than the DVD itself but hey ho). The subwoofer and speakers however are fine.

Can I buy another Panasonic model and connect it to the subwoofer?

It's a shame because the DVD was so good and it's a shame for me not to be able to use the speakers.

Alternatively, if anyone can tell me how to sort the problem with the DVD player.....
It basically does not play DVDs (most anyway) and eventually gives up on audio CDs, often making some churning sound. With DVDs it looks for the disc but then says there is not one present.

Thanks.
