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 this Coby system in Dec.2009 based on good customer reviews on Amazon. It worked well and sounded good for a whole 12 days.It will not play dvds-a NO DISC message appears. It will play CDs and CD ROMS, but not dvds. I had thrown out all the packaging due to excess clutter in my small apartment so I could not send it back. I tried multiple email messages to Coby Service and have never had a response. Buy this system at your own risk. I will never purchase a Coby product again and will certainly bad mouth Coby at every opportunity. How does a company like Coby stay in business? Joe B.

I never thought to try those disks, but I just tried a music CD and it played fine. I don't have any music DVDs to try, but my guess would be it plays them also. It obviously does play movie DVDs.

I have movies, instructional DVDs , duplicates of originals don't know the brand , they are not marked.when it doesn't play it can't be read, that happens sometimes with my DVD hooked up to tv, but not with the portable.

Yes- We play very few Blu-ray and the unit has had no issues with either commercial DVD's or most I have burned in the past. It does not play DVD ROM's (which kind of stinks because I'd burned a lot of older TV series to this format) It also will not play most +R recorded media (sometime yes, usually no) so check what media you burned to.

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

Jason: Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks

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.

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.

I know I can play any DVD on 1/4 fast forward and still hear the dialogue. Very useful for watching Les Miserables ;) Multi-disc resume? Do you mean that the player "bookmarks" the last scene viewed even if you've loaded and watched 3 or 4 more movies afterwards? If so, then, yes.

Hello. I have not had any problems with the DVD's or Blu-Rays I have bought. It has worked flawlessly every time. Perhaps it is possible to have trouble with homemade discs, but I have not tried any of mine in the player.

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. =-)

I have not had any problems. Perhaps your dvds are blue ray which my TV does not support. Sorry, I can't help.

I never had to do any of that with mine, thank goodness. I use DVD-R, I burned, I finalized, and they play in my Samsung and my Mac Mini's drive.I had something odd happen the other day, though; a DVD I ordered from Netflix wouldn't play, even after I cleaned it up, but same DVD would play in my computer's drive. It was a foreign film, but I wonder what it was about a commercial disc that would make the Samsung spit it out every time, telling me "please check the disc"? That's the only time that's happened! I wonder if by now it's time to clean the laser.

I have the older version of this player and mine does that quite often, too. Not necessarily when I am playing DVDs, but when I am playing movies off of my hard drive. I have found no solution. SO frustrating.

Thanks! The only real gripe that I remember is that a DVD is a little slow to load when you put it in. When I get around to buying one myself though, I probably won't use it as my main DVD player anyway, but I'll write up a full review.

Yes, that is a software issue as ths does not have a buit in DVD Player. Your PC DVD software player handles this issue. THey player will play any DVD's.

Sorry but I will need more information. What do you mean by "stop after 15 min" ? Was it no power at all or would not play a DVD? I have been using my Sony for years and occasionally have to unplug it and replug it in to clear internal glitches, but other than that I have had no trouble at all.
