kickinitrock,
Welcome to the forum!
Pausing or skipping dialogue is not normal behavior.
There is a firmware update that you can download (via CD, or USB), and you can choose that here:

That should patch up some of those issues. Let me know if you have any further issues.

I have pauses or "skips while watching Blu-Ray movies.The pause or skip only last for 1 or 2 seconds but you actually miss dialogue if the occurance is timed just right. The pause or skip occurs 3 or 4 times per movie. Is this normal? I have not checked for firmware downloads as I just got the player as well as a new Samsung HDTV and I couldn't wait to watch it!Please let me know if any one else has this problem and any solution for it.
