20 Most Recent Insignia I-PD720 Portable DVD Player Questions & Answers

dvds are coded differently depending on which region of the world they are intended for. there are eight regions - check this link for more info; http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=502554 this was a pointless idea that was supposed to limit video piracy, but only actually causes problems and increased production costs The US is in region 1, so the problem is the settings on your dvd/vcr as to what region it is coding the discs as. You may be able to change this in one of the menus, but it may be designed for only one region code output. Check the manual - if you need a manual or have trouble then please post the make and model of your dvd vcr recorder and we can try to help Hope this helps you :)

permanent vertical lines are due to lcd panel. replace it.

if these lines are permanent the lcd screen is faulty. u need to get the lcd panel replaced.

<P>Not likely,but if you want to attempt it,you would need to find a power 'inverter'with just the right specifications.If you have the manual for it still,the specs may be in there but when in doubt,call Insignia.I checked it out and there didn't appear to be a way to do it,but here is the link because you never know.</P><P><A href="http://insigniaproducts.com/support.html">http://insigniaproducts.com/support.html</A></P><P>Good luck!

Available parts for your player can be found here.

You'll need the remote control to access the Setup menu. A replacement can be purchased at BestBuy.PartSearch.com.

You should contact the company that made your dvd player and tell them your problem. they will probably send someone over. IF you have a receipt they may either fix your DVD player or give you another one.

You may reset the player to factory defaults via the Preferences menu. This step should eliminate the existing password. Additional details can be found in the owner's manual.

Our parts supplier lists the AC adapter as unavailable, but an alternative may be available. I would recommend calling them at 1-888-237-8289 or carrying the unit in to the place of purchase or an electronic parts store to pursue an alternative.

Try this software called ~ANYDVD~ click on the link below to download it:

try clean the lens with cotton buds gently/smoothly...try audio cd or vcd to play if it will play and not playing if the disc is dvd...lens for replacement partially burnt

Unfortunately Insignia is a Best Buy brand, made for them in China, and parts are hard to find. They are considered disposable because the cost of repair is usually more then the cost of the unit. You can try going to http://bestbuy.partsearch.com and see if they have what you need.

Did you use the correct adapter for use in the car? It sounds to me like it may have been getting too much voltage/current.

If you had it over a year, I doubt the warranty will cover it unfortunately.

Hi

please check the battery maybe the battery is weak and can't comply the requirements..

Thanks!

3Amps will do.

My Insignia DVD player says that there is no disc in the player, although it's in there... What can I do?

Thanks. S.

Two possibilities: 1)The pickup or 2)the LCD Screen and its counterparts. By your description, I can't tell for sure. Is it like someone is turning the screen on and off, or does the sound actually get misaligned with the picture? In your case, it probably wouldn't be worth the repair for either as parts for this particular unit cost 80$(US) and up. If it's the screen itself, you're looking at a 200-400$(US) repair.

There is a pressure switch that gets pushed down when the disc door is closed. Ether the arm on the switch is busted, the switch is bad or a busted wire to the switch.
