I would guess a crappy firmware in the particular model, maybe there is a firmware update for it.
second guess would be the way you are making dvd's isn't 100% compatible to the codecs etc the player uses. Maybe you could try a different program. Also some cheap discs can be problematic,you might try a different brand of media. but because the sound issue happens on originals and copies i would think the first guess about the firmware may be right.
search the net with the model number and see if there are any others with the same problem.

i use  freemake  converter  to burn all dvds  from  youtube etc etc ..they play fine on one  dvd/recorder  ..on the computer ..but not on the dvd/vhs  player ..i think its a codec ..just weird how the sound  just starts  after 4 mins...
