how do i fix my skipping DVD/VCR?

I have a toshiba DVD/VCR player. it constantly skips, even on brand new DVDs. i have spent a lot of money on multiple "repair discs" and those don't even help. it doesn't skip on a few discs though. i am confused and lazy(ha ha) is there any way to avoid taking to a repair shop? thanx
