    Mine does this a lot.  We think this may be whats happening:
The laser decides to "rewind", i.e. return back to the center, but
the disk is still spinning and the connection to the TV is still on.
    Mine does this sometimes in the middle of a disk (it seems to
happen more often w/rented disks than with ones we own).  When it
happens, there is no use trying to see the rest of the disk.
