Oh, and Opeth rocks
Actually, it sounds like Opeth got a standalone Yamaha DVD player (which at that time used Panasonic transports). Most of their HTIBs simply package a receiver with a DVD player and 5.1 speaker set. I will agree though that if the lens cleaning suggestion does not work, then it's time for a new one.
