Please advise? I cannot play DVDs but can listen to CDs. I have a windows 7 and my computer says the DVD/CD-rom drives are up to date.

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.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

My Unit never played DVDs from the beginning. Never played DVDs from the box. I thought it was a region code issue but it is not. Then I though it was an Firmware issue so I upgraded from V26 to V29. Still does not play DVDs. I bought it from Amazon LLC directly. If I would have found out this after I purchased the unit, I would have gave Amazon a piece of my mind. But it's too late now as a couple years has gone by. Please learn from my mistake. I bought a VERY EXPENSIVE CD Player (Philips HTS8100/37).

read the directions of both your player & & cleaner disk !! this usually helps . , when all else fails !!

I've got one that has gone into this same problem as described: Just cycles through one disk after another saying 'cant read this disk' Has anyone found a solution for this? Blue SA-CD and Multichannel lights are on. Will not even recognize standard store bought DVD's currently.

not sure if it's still an issue, but you could try copying the dvds on your computer and playing the copies in your dvd player.

The only cds played on it as far as I know are 1D cds that were purchased. What else did you have in mind? Maybe I can try them for you.

Do you have it on CD? I did not have any trouble with the CDs playing. Have you read your instructions. They are very helpful.

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.

You should have no problem playing standard CDs. CD-Rs or bootleg discs may not play. Contact Sony for more information.

You might try upgrading the firmware on your current player -- that may solve your disc compatibility problems

It doesn't play CD's or DVD's at all. It is like a "juke box" storage system for them. Works great..when it works. I had 2 that went bad..now I'm using a manual storage system which works every time.

Don't know what's up with that. Plays my DVDs just fine. If your DVDs are Blue Ray, that might be why. It might not play Blue Ray. My DVDs are not, so again, they play fine. =-)

Yes. I will read/play DVDs ad CDs. It will read your Windows disk just fine, to install on your hard drive.

I have a notebook that didn't come with a cd player and I have a external lightscribe. I can get it to work with Windows 8 cd's but I can't get it to do DVD's. I need to see if there is an update for it to windows 8.

I am not sure how to do this. I rarely use the CD/DVD drive. If I do use it, it's only to look at a movie or listen to a CD. Sorry.

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....
