Black Screen: I bought this DVD player 6 months ago, recently the screen went black and has sound only, anybody knows what's the problem?

Our DVD player is now 7 months old and it too has the problem where the screen is black. It still plays through the line out to a TV but nothing is on the screen. We don't know how this happened as it is used at gently at home. I've tried playing with the screen (opening and closing and a bit of swiveling) and it does come back but only for a short time. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I returned mine. It didn't play some DVD and some froze or scratched. I don't know if my TV was bad or not but I returned it.

Mine only worked for a year! One of them stopped working...forget which one. I tossed it, donated the VHS tapes to Salvation Army and bought a good DVD player! :)

Not playing anything--it died after almost 4 months. returned it to sony on 2/19, as of 3/6 it's still in the hands of the technician. Good luck...

I was playing polar express also. I exhanged the player and no longer had the problem. I wonder if there is something with that DVD with some of the players. Coincidence maybe maybe not. Thanks for confirmation.

Mine seems to do the same thing. I called the number on the Instruction booklet, the person I talked to could not help but unsuccessfully tried to reach their tech support. They never called me back. I really like the player- it is just what I was looking for. I will return the unit as I also think it is defective. Cannot decide whether to ask for a replacement, or just get my money back.

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.

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?

We had the same issue, first you need to plug the power cord into just the monitor then plug into the DVD player monitor. It is backorders from ones we have had in the past.

Mine does not have that problem. Have you tried another DVD player to make sure it's not really the TV?

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.

If the unit you got is good and it was installed correctly, then try burning dvds using the mp4 format and cds as regular audio or data cds. This works for me. If these do not work have the unit checked out

I had the same thing happen to my unit just over a year after purchase. It won't recognize any discs. I highly recommend buying the sound system separate instead of a combo unit. If you want to find just the receiver, I'd try eBay. I have seen the entire unit go for $125.

We've had nothing but trouble with ours...... now ours will play for a few minutes, then the picture goes black while sound still works (IF you turn it off, then it will come back on for a couple minutes before going black again)....... getting ready to purchase a new one (NOT RCA THIS TIME!).

That is so strange. I'm having problems just playing the CD, it keeps losing single to my receiver. I have had some performance issues with playing DVDs as well. We like to power through 4-6 hours DVD movie watching on a Saturday afternoon. After about 3 hours, I get a red screen and the DVD stops showing. I also, have lots of locking up issues on DVDs that play fine on other DVD players. I'm getting a bit fustrated as I've only had the player for 3 months and it's getting worse in terms of performance. I've been considering another player...

I have the same player you have and have played those very same blu ray dvd'sI would unplug the player.wait a few min. allow it to reboot........andtry it againif all else fails...I would try a different disc from that collection.and If that doest work you may have gotten a defective set of discs.
