As a follow up for any AVANT DVD owners experiencing the same fault symptoms, this problem has been resolved.

It was caused by a faulty DVD power supply module (PCB 75).

Check the DVD power supply module - small switch mode supply in the bottom of the avant under the main chassis. It's a seperate part to the main chassis and a likely suspect.

Avant DVD fault

I have an Avant 8453 with a DVD fault. The drive plays normally for approx 1 minute then cuts out. Needs to be reset (TV to standby) to play again or eject. Engineer tried another salvage drive module and it did the same. A new chassis is required so uneconomic. Does anyone have experience of this fault? I recognise the policy is to swap modules but perhaps someone has experience of individual component failure leading to this "timing out" of the drive.

Thanks for any advice
