DVD no longer plays discs: Anyone with a similar problem?

Yes same problem here exactly, contacted LG only to find out same thing you said. Bought mine in October 2009 and last month it stopped reading discs, any disc. POS is what this unit is. LG thank you for opening my eyes and I will never buy another product with anything LG stamped on it.

I can't seem to play DVD's. I load it and I just get a list of files. Do I have to install a media player?

Are you using DVDs? I watch them all the time. Otherwise, check the specs and see exactly what files it does read. unfortunately, im thinking it reads an older format.

I tried it - when I stopped playing of DVD, switch off and again switch on (no open of disc) then it started to play when I finished before. It is sufficient reply? Roman

You've probably gotten yours fixed or resolved the issue by now, but I have the version of this TV with built in DVD player and recently mine started doing the same thing. The TV would turn on and try to load a DVD and just come back with no disc... no disc... no disc.. I contacted Toshiba and they said leave it off/unplugged for 3 minutes. That didn't end up working. I searched through the menu's for a system reset or restore defaults and found one under Setup > Installation > System Status/System Information. Switch to the next menu and follow instructions when it asks for the code.I did this and it seems to have fixed the issue so far (been 48hrs and it hasn't turned on on its own).

We absolutely love ours. Every disc we bought has worked. You have to make sure it is the CD+G type. Try different Input options on your tv. If you have done all of this, then its most likely bad.

I have played with a third party software, Blu ray movies. So it should also play DVD movies too.

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

Do you have software that will recognize Blu ray discs? I had to purchase WinDVD 10 to get my computer to recognize my discs. B/c if the laptop didn't come with a blu ray drive it won't recognize this new drive b/c it wasn't designed for it.

Dang, I wish someone would reply to this. I've had this DVD player hooked up to a Sony 40 inch for a few days and I'm having the same problem.

Funny you should ask Peter. I've been trying for over three weeks, to figure out how to get the DVD player to do anything. Obviously I'm not the one they should have guided you to. Sorry.

I have the same experience as you. the manual clearly states that it will not play DVD+R or DVD+RW, but I have had no problem playing either.

Thats dumb. I got a regular DVD player in 1998 and the DVD resumed fine back then. I think thats crazy that the Bludiscs dont have that feature.

This started happening last month. I've had the unit for 2 years. Usually opening and closing the DVD tray will resolve the issue. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 tries to get the movie to play.
