This will not play any DVD I try. It says loading and then DVD-Video. How do I get it to work?

Make sure nothing is over the lens,I can't recall if it had any protective cover on the disc-reading lens. If there is nothing there I would say something is haywire and you should return or exchange.

This is straight out of my manual that came with the TV. Go to your source menu and scroll down to DVD. Select the DVD mode and then Insert your DVD. The data side of the Disc has to face towards the front of the unit. The player will load the Disc automatically and there will be an on screen indication letting you know that the Disc is reading properly. The DVD will switch to play mode automatically. The on screen Disc Menu will display for your selection. I'E' Play, Rewind, Fast forward, Etc. I have two of these 15 inch Curtis TV'S and both DVD players work just fine. If you still have problems with the DVD you might have to send the TV back for an exchange or a refund. Good luck!

Once you have turned on the TV, press SOURCE to select DVD mode. Then insert the disc in the lot, data side facing towards the front. After loading, the unit should switch to play mode automatically. If you are following this procedure and it still doesn't work, you might want to call their help line or look at their online troubleshooting. Their website: www.curtisint.com

Thanks for your reply Martin....I read that in the manual online also, but I think that section applies nto cd's not dvd's...how can it play each dvd withoyt accessing the menu on each dvd ???...I tried a Toshiba and a Samsung changer and neither worked with dvd's only cd's....

Thanks. I've done all that with no results. My last resort is to test the player with a few other Blu-Ray discs. If they play with no problem, I'll return this set to Amazon and ask for another one.

it depends on the OS (Operating System) you are using and the version of it, but a solid solution for any OS it's download and install VLC player, if this does not fix the problem, try the DVD+/-RW USB External Drive on another computer and see what happen.

Also having problems: from the USB (as the dvd drive no longer recognizes discs, "Insert Disc" always pops up) tried .avi, .mp4, .wmv, .mov and none are recognized. will try other conversions.

Does the Samsung dvd player make a strange grinding sound when attempting to load dvd's? I'm thinking my unit is broken. Also, it keeps rejecting the dvd so that does not work at all.

Yes. Mine broke and will not play anything. I would look at another dvd player.

Unfortunately, I can't help you. I bought this unit from an Amazon vendor "like new" and it wouldn't play. They sent a second unit and it wouldn't play either. I ended up buying a different brand and it worked fine.

I didn't try a CD but I could not get it to play a DVD either which is why I bought it so I will be returning it.

i have had success with playing the DVD on various machines by using the FINALIZE disc option. use SETUP, then DISC EDIT, then FINALIZE and choose YES.

I have has some success with it. It will ask you to download an add on. It is safe and it helps. I've had some newer DVD's that didn't work. Hope this helps. Otherwise, I highly recommend.
