Is this dvd player repairable or do I need to buy a new one

Ours got damaged, so we just bought another one of the exact same model that had been "refurbished". This capability to use an iPod and/or SD card is (was?) somewhat unique and extremely useful to us for traveling in the car while our son was little. We no longer use this and have loaned it out for my niece to use until she gets too big to need it. The fact that ours was refurbished indicates that Philips was taking returns and fixing them, but these are so old, I don't know that they would still be doing that.

There are so inexpensive as to compared to when I purchased mine I say just replace it.

I looked in to repairing mine but it's actually cheaper to just buy a new portable player or even a Kindle you can load up with movies.

I would say buy a new one. Tech changes fast and there is probably one out there that can do more. Mine still works great though. I love it!

Anything is repairable if you're willing to spend the money. The better question would be is the cost of the repair cheap enough to make it worth it? If the repair is minor then maybe but usually, under most circumstances with smaller cheaper electronic devices, it's better to buy a new one then undergo the expense of the repair. Hope this helps.

Reference your question about a warranty; I examined my user manual very carefully and was unable to find any reference to a warranty. The only reference concerning repairs was in the troubleshooting section for the DVD player in which the user was advised to perform the troubleshooting steps prior to contacting an authorized service center. I would ask Amazon for assistance in contacting the "Supersonic" technical representatives for further information in this regard.

The unit has a one year warranty. I would assume you could contact them for a repair that you could pay for.

no problems with mine. you should at least be able to use the DVD player. should return it!

I don't know because the one I got won't accept DVDs. Although the reading lights are visible when I try to insert the DVD the unit does not grab the DVD and pull it in to the unit no matter how far I try to push it in manually. Also the cable jack is loose and therefore the reception is garbled. I have requested return authorization and when I get a reply to that I'll add additional information.

You can use a hacked firmware from http://www.pioneerfaq.info/english/dv400.php?player=DV-400V&question;=Firmwares -- it will possibly invalidate your warranty, but I'm watching a British DVD (R2) on mine at the moment with the hacked firmware.

I have no clue sorry your best bet would be try calling the manufacturer and ask them if not you next best bet it buying a whole new one.

Depending on how long you have owned it, I would first go to the vendor on a warrantee concern. After that see if you could either purchase the component or canabalize it from a defective unit.

I also have an older Sony 6 disc player.(a little newer than yours) Mine also failed and the speakers crapped out. This new player is, in my opinion, much better and a great replacement

I have the same model. And the DVD stoped working after shortly after one year. We only used the DVD several times. Sony basically told me I was SOL. The one your warranty was up. Stay away!!!!!

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.

Maybe you need to clean the DVD player. Possibly the disc itself is scratched too.
