Mine won't play dvd's or cd's. Any solutions?

I've had to send TWO ideapads back to the factory for warranty service.... Pain in the back-side. On one of them the USB ports did not work and then it just froze up. The second, the battery slowly faded until nothing. So......call them and send it back for repairs.

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.

I have two of them and they both play CDs and DVDs just fine . I would recommend updating the firmware to the most current one . You most likely though will have some issues playing some of the newer blu ray releases but otherwise it's a great player . Good luck

Yes, this system does play cd/DVDs... However I have not gotten a chance to use it.

I had a similar problem with Amazon DVE-R 100 pile I bought.....Think it was just an abberation...but have been carefully buying only DVD+R ever since......also since found they worked as CDs...perhaps just abeled wrong.

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

you have to make sure the radio that you hook up the tv to is comp. with dvd and cdThe Tv does not have a dvd/cd slot.

I know of at least one instance where a Sony DVD Jukebox machine DID play a burned dual-layer disk that wouldn't play on my Toshiba. Probably not much help- could have been a fluke, but it is true.

Yes. Mine broke and will not play anything. I would look at another dvd player.

Agree with the previous comment with the one exception - mine had nonworking CD player so I returned it. Purchased similar but a little more expensive SONY.

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.

My Denon plays most of my cd's but there are many it just can't read. I was told it may need cleaning but I tried that with no success. Sorry I can't help.

Mine will play most dvd's. I've noticed that it will not play foreign made dvd's regardless of whether they are region 1 or region 0.

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...

Make sure you have downloaded Windows media player or VLC media player or some other "player". I had the same problem; the DVDs weren't playing because I didn't have the proper software to play them. Hope that helps.
