DVD player keeps opening and closing the disk player. I've tried a hard restart, cleaned the front touch screen, and even opened the panel to disengage the touch screen. And it's still opening and closing. Anybody find a fix for this problem yet?

I had the same problem. Fixed it using this solution here: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/109-home-theater-box/1481206-help-samsung-ht-e5500-keeps-changing-source-2.html#post23923247

No. It is not the disk. It is the player. I had the BD-1400 and it did the same annoying thing for over a year. I went through several firmware updates during that time. With the latest firmware update Samsung fixed the problem. I suspect that you need to do the same.

Good question! I have the same problem! The dvd is STILL in the tv - since SEVERAL months ago. In other words, don't get this tv and expect it to play DVDs. Even my tech savvy son can't remove it without possibly causing damage. (Maybe I'll ask RCA now that you have reminded me.)

I have the older version of this player and mine does that quite often, too. Not necessarily when I am playing DVDs, but when I am playing movies off of my hard drive. I have found no solution. SO frustrating.

I had the same issues with sporadic disc-ejection problems. Dragging the disc icon to the trash, using the "Eject Disc" command from the pull down menu, or pushing the eject button on the unit often didn't work. It also would sometimes struggle with reading a blank disc or a disc with data on it. After six months of frustration, I finally bailed and got a different drive (an MCE Blu-Ray Player and SuperDrive, which has worked flawlessly.)

It is most likely defective. Mine quit working within 30 days, sent it in for warranty service, got it back now it will play CD's Story well as DVD's

My player worked fine for 8 months; now, however, it doesn't play any dvd. The screen message is "invalid disk"I have reset the default settings, and checked the connections. any suggestions?

if you unplugged it and plugged it back on, and nothing positive happens.....throw it out! panasonic makes garbage dvd players. it is not the panasonic of the past. i keep 5 dvd players in the house, cause i am a movie buff., and in the past i've had all panasonic players. those days are over. i have one panasonic player left and that hiccups every eight minutes on recordable discs. on your problem, maybe you can contact panasonic.com or call them and they can send you, or you can download their software update. it didnt work for me, but it might work for you. if mechanically inclined, and not under warranty....you can take off the cover, unscrew the carriage cover and remove the disc. also sometimes, if the disc is not in the slot correctly., it could jam up, and shut itself off. my dmp-bd871 played well for 4 months, and now it will not accept any disc. i will admit, that before it went kaput, it had the best picture of any other player i've had................irene

try another dvd first,to make sure it is not the disc. then try a soft blast of canned air if you have it. this "cleaner" is a waste of money.it didn't do anything for my players/burners,NOTHING! good luck.

Maybe you need to clean the DVD player. Possibly the disc itself is scratched too.

Yep...The same thing happened to me. I sent it back, bought another one and it happened again. The last one I ordered from Amazon which I never received from Amazon so I took that as a sign to find another player. Any suggestions?

if you actually turn off the power button it restarts the dvd. If you just hit the stop then it will play from where you stopped it but you have to hit play twice.

I have tried all setting on my Tablet DVD Player and cannot get the screen to go to color. I had bought this item in OCT for a christmas present for my son, decided to do Operations check on it and found that the display was not working properly. What can i do to fix this problem. Thank you in advance.

It happened to me once after I moved to a new house and the DVD player was shaken. It loses the laser alignment and can not read the disc credentials. I sent it to Sony, they charged me about $80, and then after that and they fixed the problem. Has your player moved or shaken?

No it says no disc or just tries to read the dvd but never does anything my 8 year old portable DVD player still works. I can't believe I spent so much and it just stops working

Try to pause the DVD instead of using the stop button when you plan to return to a DVD. Then turn it off. Stopping tells the player you're done, pause tells it you'll be back.

Mine is playing having the same problem intermittently. Some play and some don't. My husband, the engineer, suggests cleaning the lens that reads the disc, as over time it may become dirty. He would use rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip. We have not yet tried this, but if it works, it's a cheap solution.
