I put a dvd into my mother's dvd player and it say that it is loading and I can hear it doing so but it never plays the dvd. Will this possible fix the problem or will I have to get her another dvd player? Thanks!

I would most certainly try the Digital Innovations disc first. Even if it doesn't fix it, she will always have it to keep cleaning her new DVD player. However, I read multiple reviews that claimed the DI disc resolved their problems. Before you go out and spend big bucks on a DVD player, try the Digital Innovations disc. I use it to clean my computer's DVD/CD and my DVD player in the living room and my boombox CD player. (yep..I still have a boom box) LOL ! Hope this helps.

Same problem as BookWorm but different player. I have tried 3 different copies of the mpvie Stranger than fiction (from the same video store) and not one would get past the selection menue on my PC or my new Philips dvd player. Ive only had a problem like this once before with the movie Layer Cake. I looked it up and its a Sony Pictures movie too. So maybe this is a problem with the actual DVDs and not the players? Or maybe Sony and Philips DVD players are having the same problems.

Mine plays any type DVD I've put in it. I didn't have to change any thing. Perhaps you screwed something up by changing to PAL. Did it come with instructions? I'd advise reading them. I had no problem, I took it out of the box, plugged it in and it's been working ever since. I've played region 2, 3 and others without having to change any settings or do anything.

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.

I usually just put a regular DVD but will find out and let u know. Btw I bought this DVD player about 4 years ago and it still works great!! No complaints at all.

No it says no disc or just tries to read the dvd but never does anything my 8 year old portable DVD player still works. I can't believe I spent so much and it just stops working

Dang, I wish someone would reply to this. I've had this DVD player hooked up to a Sony 40 inch for a few days and I'm having the same problem.

Sorry for my last post, I mixed this player with my old player up. It would play home movie in mpeg format, but it wouldn't play Rip DVD.

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...

It certainly has a high probability of fixing the issue. In many cases rentals are in worse shape than your own and if your DVD ROM has a weak laser it may not read the DVD. On another note if replacing the ROM does not fix the problem its likely that its being caused by a software issue like a lake of a video or audio codec or a corrupted video player. If that's the case you should be able to get it fixed at minimal cost.

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.

For no apparent reason, some burned movies do not work on all dvd players. I have movies work on my Blu-ray player and my old dvd plyer but won't work on my new dvd player.

Yes, you can connect & see DVDs from different regions if your Player is multi- system. For me, I get DVDs even from over seas & played with no problem except few DVD. My other suggestion is, you can directly insert the DVDS & play. The time you posted this question, I tried to connect with two players. One in A/V & the other with HDMI & both works fine. Hope it helps.

My TV also gives me problems with the DVD player...it accepts discs, but then the disc ejects only to not accept the DVD. Then there are times it has so much static that the TV crackles loudly and I fear it's going to blow up...then there's times it doesn't do it. My color is faded and not definite and sharp with red shadows on certain programs i.e. NCIS. Michele Tucci

I play DVDs all the time however, just recently I purchased 4 sets of a popular TV series, several of the DVDs when loaded to play I get a load hum. I have tried playing them on different machines and it is still there. I have had this looked at by an expert and it is not the machines but the DVDs. When these were manufactured the labels were not properly centered on the DVD therefore it causes the DVD to be out of balance and can ultimately damage the player if played continually.

On remote B (located on the bottom of the remotes) push the "DVD IN" button when both players are on and the DVD is loaded in player A. Hope this helps!!
