20 Most Recent Kenwood DV-605 Multi-disc DVD Player Questions & Answers

Dear Laysia, Maybe your DVD player and your TV are not set for the same TV transmission system. The TV system in U.S. is NTSC. TV systems in some countries in South America and Europe are of the PAL type. You have to check in the manual for your DVD and your TV which TV systems they work with . many of them are multisystem, but you have to check in their menu or settings if BOTH are set to AUTO or to the same TV transmission system. Hope it helps! Best regards, Miguel Luiz Martins

Dear Scott, If there is a CD stuck inside a CD/DVD reader, you could try using a medium sized paper clip straightened up. Insert it in the small hole in the front of the DVD player bezel and push it till it opens the mechanism. Please, have a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa_4CsS7MKw The problem can also be caused if one of the rubber band that moves the DVD drive "door" has dried out, or even if the power supply in not properly connected to the drive. Hope you may find this info hopeful! Best regards, Miguel Luiz Martins

either some how the remote has become unsinked or the reciever is bad in it

by just resetting the software will not work this is a mechanical problem this usually happens on players that is not use for a long time or improper closing of tray..fixing this kind of problem requires opening the cover of the unit..you need to lubricate all moving gears and parts by putting enough amount of lubricating oil..you have also need to assist the motor manually by helping it to push the tray out just gently pull the tray with your hands during a eject command on the unit clean also the limit switches of the tray make that contact are properly working..good luck!

Move the tray around some more.

Rotate the actual gear with your fingers till it goes to next disk.

That is the fix!

It is possible that you're player will not play burned DVD's. If you have the manual...or even on the front panel of the player, it should say that it can play DVD-/+R, DVD-/+RW, or even DIVX.

Also, have you tried to play it in your PC to make sure it can play?

Hope this helps

There is a flex cable that attaches the tray assy to the main pcb ,make sure that has not pulled out, also see if tray tries to move at all as it may need the mechism realigned and the open/close switches cleaned.Also the is a gear that turns the tray that has broken teeth on,check that gear ,as tray must turn before unit will intalize

yes bad electronics took mine apart put it back together it worked fine till i turned it off . you have to tap or hit the front above the buttons and sometimes move stuff around then it will work wires boards but be sure its not plugged in

I had a similar problem with mine I have just had a technical fault with mine and the only solution i could find was through halfords. If its under warranty they send it off to their supplier AEL to solve. If its no longer under warranty like mine, they send it off at an initial £60 cost which could escalate if the problem is larger.

This noise can be casued by two things:

1) The tray is not completely in the loaded position and the "clamper" is rubbing. Replace the loading belt and the loading sequence will complete and the noise should stop.

2) The "CD table" that is part of the spindle motor assembly has slipped a bit. This will make the CD/DVD ride too low and strike the lower tray support. This will require that the table be "re-aligned" to the proper height which may not be possible on your model without special measurement equipment. The height is critical to proper operation of the unit.


Try replacing the load belt first and report your results.

Thanks,

We repaired this problem by taking the advice of another member of FixYa! The component had recently been packed to be shipped. After unpacking the unit when we powered up the read out only displayed "LOADING" and the CD changer door would not open. We removed the exterior cover and gently moved the CD changer one position. When it locked back into position we powered up and the unit works fine now. FixYa sure help me save perhaps a $100. or more by not sending it to the manufacturer or another shop. And it was working within minutes so we could enjoy using it right away. Thanks guys I very much will recommend this sevice to others... this was the 2nd problem we fixed that day by logging onto FixYa!!!

Solution: Unplug power from wall. (Don't just turn off!) Next: Remove exterior case. Now gently turn the CD changer clockwise one position. Power up and try again.

I had this same problem after unit appeared to have froze up when unpacked from a shipping box. The CD changer had got off track and by gently moving the CD changer 1 position it fixed the problem. Works fine now.

Best of luck,

I have a similar issue with my DV-605 as well. When the unit power on, I can hear the motor trying to start, but the DVD does not spin. Being the adventurous type, I opened the case and turned the DVD drive motor a few revolutions by hand and then the dvd played. I think I need a new DVD drive motor. You may as well....

I just fixed mine. Same scenario, with the loading and #1 displayed. The tray changer was jammed.

Take the cover off the unit and gently convince the changer to spin. It will go *crack* and then exhibit free-play. Turn the machine back on and voila it works.

I'm now watching Braveheart on 480p on 55"widescreen!!!!!
