My HTS8100 just started giving me the "NO DISC" message. I've unplugged it and re-started it a few times, but it still doesn't play an audio CDs or DVD movies. The MP3 and iPod dock still work. If anyone has any ideas, please pass on the info.

OMG I thought I was alone! I'm getting no sound at all this is ridiculous! Ive had my system for a year and same as everyone else except my door says open and it doesnt anymore. Philips sells junk! They have been no help but to tell everyone to try that software upgrade that doesnt work! I have found a blog with thousands of customers who have Philips products that dont work after a year!

I have a had a similar "No Disc" error and the unit is not even a month old. Any help on this will be appreciated.

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.

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).

I believe it to be a defective unit. I bought 3 different units, since Christmas, not all were Onkyo, and all 3 skipped repeatedly thru each song. I bought brand new CD's, and all 3 units same results. I gave up on looking for a CD player, bought myself a USB flash drive, downloaded my music to it, stuck it into my Blu-ray player and now listen to my music thru my Blu-ray player. Also, any unit that plays a dvd, will also play a cd. But cd's are on their way out thanks to modern technology.

Not sure if this is any help, but when I was downloading the manual I noticed an available firmware update for: "Firmware Update" Problem: When using the HDMI connections on the TV, the screen blanks out and loses sound for a few moments.

Do NOT change the file name. Please follow these instructions for the firmware update. This entire procedure should take about 5-10 minutes. 1) Verify your model number (model number located on back of TV).

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....

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

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...

This happened to me as well, when trying to play a home-burned DVD-R on an older Sony DVD player. Many of the players that are more than about 5 years old don't seem to recognize DVD-R burned discs, only commercial "pressed" DVDs. The only thing I was able to do was buy an inexpensive newer DVD player (I got a new Sony player for about $40) and it plays all of my home-burned discs just fine.

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!

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

Thank you for your input on this matter. I tried a couple of times to burn disks using Nero using the ISO 9660 without Jolliet. For some reason this isn't working out. I have since contacted Panasonic by telephone and told them of my problem. They said that the disk didn't burn properly and they will sent me a cd-rom with the upgrade on it for me to use. Hopefully this will resolve the problem.

I have had no problems with the DVD Player on this TV. However, I do know that if you insert the DVD into the TV's DVD slot incorrectly it will be rejected and the "no Disc" message appears.A DVD has to be inserted with the shiny silver side facing forward toward the TV screen, that means that the label on the DVD is facing away from you. Also be sure you are not using a Blu-ray Disc as this type is not supported by the TV's DVD Player. I am assuming that you have tried several different DVD discs and all were rejected. I am also assuming that these DVD's are originals and not copies. For if they are copies they may have been copied using the wrong format. I have had no problems with the DVD Player on this TV.

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've had the 93 since the preorder in November and it has played every disc I've inserted with no problems. I have DVDs, BDs, and SACDs. But I bet your LG played everything fine when it was new.

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.

Sharp tells me that they have problems with Warner Bros discs and are working on new firmware to fix the problem. A Warner Bros marketing person in LA sent me a Harry Potter Blu-Ray to test, and it too was rejected as incompatible. The player handles old DVDs and those I make myself. But then we have you and others who've posted and tell me that Planet Earth is fine on their Aquos player. So maybe the problem is the unit. I'll eventually find out and let everyone know.

I just downloaded the latest firmware update from the samsung website to a flash drive and went through the steps to update the BD player. Now, I'm having the same problems that everyone is reporting - it won't play a Blueray disc. It get's stuck in the "load" mode. It will, however, play a DVD without a problem. So, like many others before me, I will be taking it back to the store. Samsung wanted me to send it to them, but I don't think I'm going down that nightmare road.

Were you able to switch it back to Region 1, and did that solve the "disc error" problem? I unlocked my player and it worked well for three months, then -- bam! -- the same problem as you. So I guess the firmware has a bug in it or something?
