Does it upgrade itself or like my old one just stops reading DVDs?

Thats dumb. I got a regular DVD player in 1998 and the DVD resumed fine back then. I think thats crazy that the Bludiscs dont have that feature.

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

It depends on your system. Check your disc information page, or you dvd guide.

It depends on which model you buy. The one I've got burns 7 at one time. It will tell you how many DVDs the unit will burn in the deception.

The system wouldn't read a disc at all, so I just bought a new system. I have yet to take a look at what the real problem might be.

Not really sure, but my wife plays some older DVD's from time to time and it always works.

I get the check disk message on most every standard DVD I put in the player. Works O.K. with Blu-Ray and Netflix streaming.

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.

My player worked fine for 8 months; now, however, it doesn't play any dvd. The screen message is "invalid disk"I have reset the default settings, and checked the connections. any suggestions?

Im sure its just your netflix disk as I have heard of others having issues in the past with those disks.

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.

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

Yes same problem here exactly, contacted LG only to find out same thing you said. Bought mine in October 2009 and last month it stopped reading discs, any disc. POS is what this unit is. LG thank you for opening my eyes and I will never buy another product with anything LG stamped on it.

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.

No, it just stops at a certain point and won't go past that anymore. The CD itself is clean and not scractched so I believe it is the player that is the problem.
