Unhappy Trouble with Toshiba HD EP 30

My Toshiba arrived the other day from Amazon. Plugged it in to my Toshiba 42 and it started working perfectly ... for about three minutes.

It then decided it didn't want to open or close the tray door and then when it started working again, the picture would flash on and off intermitently.

I tried a different HDMI lead and a different socked but the flashing when playing both HD DVDs and normal DVD's continued to appear.

I usually run a PS3 for blue rays and a Samsung DVD Upscaler through the HDMI sockets and both work fine.

Has anyone else had any problems like this? Any ideas / solutions?

I've asked Amazon to send a replacement but always worried it might be some technical problem rather than the machine itself.

Thanks

Re: Trouble with Toshiba HD EP 30

Only issue I've had with mine was in the first 5 mins I got it I pressed eject while the film was playing and this seemed to freeze the machine and the only solution was to unplug it. I now press stop before ejecting.

Other thing to say is that don't expect it to be as responsive as a SD DVD player. It likes to take it's time responding to commands.

The flashing pic doesn't sound right of course and a replacement sounds the best bet.
