I'm sorry but I can't help with that. The one I have works great. Never had any problems. Try contacting the seller.

maybe you have the wrong DVD program on your computer. Maybe you need DVD FAB or an other program, I don't watch DVD on my Computer. Sorry Ron

I don't have this plugged into my car but I'd say if you did, the DVD player would keep running because you have to turn the switch on the side for it to turn off. Once the player is off, and you turn it back on, yes, you have to restart the movie all over again.

Change your setup, as suggested by others. Ours has never turned off unexpectedly, and we've sat through many many hours of movies using it.

I tried STOP STOP MENU after seeing your question. It worked for some DVD's, but not most.

Old trick, try holding the power button down until the unit shuts itself off and back on, and goes through a whole reset. I had to do someting like this once. Not sure what caused it, but it took about 10 min to figure out something that would make the unit do a hard reset. Just read this on a Panasonic unit with the same problem. 1. turn off unit by holding down the POWER button for 10 seconds. 2. unplug the power cord and wait for one minute. 3. plug the cord back in and turn on the unit 4. when the dvd begins to play, press "EJECT". Worth a try. Kinda sounds like what I did.

Thank you Frolian. I've been trying to burn a DVD for a couple hours, and I didn't know until you shared. I have DVD+R DVDs. You're my hero!!

I've had the unit for several years with no problems. However, when you switch functions from TV/ Cable to DVD it automatically switches the audio source for you. But, when you switch back, you have to manually reset the Function to TV / Cable. Hope that's all your problem is.

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.

I have the same problem. It seemed OK until I added a BluRay DVD and then even with the window (winter) open behind it shuts down with the volume setting much about 30. It runs somewhat hot, but I don't think it should be hot enough to shut down. Currently I must use the TV volume set higher and hard to get good sound from my high efficiency regular speakers. With the tuner I have no problems. I am not happy with the unit.

My brand new Toshiba Satellite does it to when the DVD/CD rom spins up. Its obviously way to sensitive.

I have no problems with continuing to play after I stopped the dvd. Your answer is on Page 33 in your instruction manual, and by using the options button on the remote control.

Sounds like remote is bad. I'm running dvd, Roku, cable tv box, dvd recorder and occasionally a computer hookup through mine with NO issues. If the auto switch is working then it has got to be the remote.

It will ask you if you want to resume where you left off when you restart the player - at least it did for the Twilight movie we were watching. But note, I did not remove the disc from the player. If it does not, it is due to how the DVD/Blu-Ray was formatted from the factory, not an issue with the player itself.

My unit has never done that. I know some players have a feature that will turn the unit off after a period of inactivity but that can be changed in the settings. I've never had this Blu-Ray player turn on by itself so I'm not sure about that part. Either there is a glitch in the player's computer.... or the machine is haunted. If so, call those ghost hunter guys. They won't accomplish anything but you'll get to be on television.

In the main menu, you will find a setting called "Resume" you have to simply turn it on, that way the dvd will pick up where it left off.
