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?

On my Player I had to update my software then worked okay until i needed to update again in 14 months. I have router on my player to connect wireless to modem.

I've had mine for ~5 years and it's just now doing this (my IT dept thinks it's just 'old' and failing). I'm ordering a new one though because I absolutely love it.

I haven't had a problem playing rented Blu Ray discs or DVDs after installing the most current driver. I've heard that several people had issues, but I wonder if it was related to the driver.

I have the same problem. Played about 10 or so DVD's so far and it quit working...first it would play 1min23sec just fine and then freeze, now I get the same message as you "NO DISC". I called Coby Customer Service and spent 53 minutes on hold, when I finally talked to someone they told me to try a DVD cleaning disc and when I asked if that didn't work they said they couldn't do anything for me.....VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE...and obviously A LOT of people are calling in!!!! I am just about to toss this thing in the garbage and never purchase anything from Coby again.

I purchased mine 2-3 months ago and it worked fine for exactly the purpose you mention (playing MP3 disks overnight), however the CD drive failed a couple weeks ago.

Hi Chase, Give us a call. The phone number is in the back of the unit. Our toll free tech support can help you trouble shoot. We suspected either you are using a low quality blank discs or your master disc need to be format, but we need to be sure. Thank you very much!

Mine plays the whole Cd. Never stopped after just one or two. Programming it somehow? Or maybe the Cd itself is warped or damaged?

Have had mine for about 3 years and had just one problem playing CD-R's. It was caused by a particular manufacturer's blank CD-R's. That particular manufacturer's CD-R's wouldn't play in my car either. Sorry, but I have forgotten who the manufacturer was. I only use Memorex or Maxell CD-R's and use Arcsoft TotalMedia Extreme burning software. So I must agree with Willo's answer. It's probably the type of media you are using.

We have never had any issue with a disk at all, if one of the bunch didn't work then I would say yes. Could happen, but if all don't play, you hve a problem with the blu Ray playing reg disk,

What type of disk u r using. This player alone is not a good stand alone meaning: I had to gut it and place a better drive in it from another broken drive which was a DVD read and write burner. I would send it back and get a better quality one.

No problems at all playing CD-Rs for me and I have tried dozens. If you have problems, it may have to do with the media your using(I use Maxell CD-R Music discs), your burning software(I use CDBurnerXP on Windows 7) or maybe you got a defective player.

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.

I've had mine for almost three years, but I didn't start using it often until recently. I had problems playing some Disney Blu-Ray disks I purchased for my son... The picture and sound would cut out intermittently when watching the movies, and it seemed to get worse each time we watched them. I figured my problem had something to do with anti-piracy nonsense, since I refused to update the firmware... A friend ended up an expensive paperweight when he did the firmware update. I solved my problem (at least so far) by taking my home theater receiver out of the loop and connecting the blu-ray player directly to the TV via HDMI. So far, so good.

I've never had a problem with the discs. I would check your software. I have always used ITunes to burn my music, much more reliable. Hope this helps you. Bob

I would recommend removing the old one. Though it's never happened to me, I've heard stories of extra weight/thickness causing problems with the disc drive.

I have had mine about 6 months and it worked fine to begin with but recently it has stopped registering all but a few dvds. I plan to see if they will warranty it.
