DVD player question...

[jenderfazz]

Don't know a better place to ask it, so here goes. My DVD player is having touble playing all sorts of DVDs. I bought it recently and it had no problems at first, but it quickly went wrong. I insert a disk, and it says it's reading it, but after reading it just gives me an "insert a disk" message, as if there's nothing inside! I can play audio CDs with no problems, but DVDs don't seem to work anymore. I made sure the region was fine and the DVDs don't have any real scratches. Any clues?

Try running a lens cleaner through it. Otherwise hope that it's under warranty and contact the manufacturer.

Well, it reads CDs, so I dunno if the lens has anything to do with it. But I will try that. I think it's still under warranty so I will have to call the company or something. Any other suggestions.

Sounds like you need to get the unit fixed/replaced. I doubt a cleaner is going to do much good.

What kind of player is it?? I have the exact same problem with one of mine.

 

[thinking of you]

Heh, it's a Magnasonic flat model. I went on the site and they seem to have contact information and a one year warranty.

Just have them send a new one.

That's what I would do.

I'd also consider next time you buy some electronics to spend a bit extra to get some well-known brand that has a good reputation.

still clean ur lens

CD is only 1 layer DVD5 is 1 layer but dvd9 is dual layer... it might have problems reading 2nd layer cuz of bad lense...

What others say... generic stuff will save you money in short run but not in long

Hope it works out

Cheers
