Go into tools settings and turn off

U need the appropriate adapter to convert your Samsung Outputs to the inputs of the tv.

it is an old unit but no power is typically fixed by replacing the SMPS (power supply board)

Well it seems that your DVD player is having an issue reading the disc, I guess the first question is what kind of disc are you trying to insert? Is it a burned DVD or is it a movie dvd? This model is not a Blu Ray so if you are trying to use a Blu Ray disc then it will not read it. If you are trying to read a burned disc from someone then more then likely the disc was not finalized and is unable to recognize the disc, because the finalization process is where all the the information is written about what kind of disc it is and the format, codecs, etc. OR maybe the laser is dirty or the DVD player has kicked the bucket. Finally, the product DESC says it can read DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, VHS formats, but I have found that some DVD units do not like certain brands of Blank DVDs. I hope this offers some ideas for you and good luck!

either a bad belt if used or the drive idler with this function is worn or slipping. It is called a transport problem.

Are the movies inthe correct format for the player? If it does not register the USB drive, try it without a cable if one is used, and make sure contacts are clean. if it still does not register, the port cotroller may be dead.

It seems that the mother board has problems and so the power supply to the main board from the SMPS must be checked. Also check the +5 to the processor and the display board , check the linking cords and the connector. Also to confirm the processor you will need to check for the parameters on the IC, check the oscillations on the crystal.
If this wont bring back any life the mother board is a suspect and must be confirmed.
Check estimate, swap to confirm before you invest.

you have the wrong type of hdmi cable , or the tv you are connecting to does not recognise the way the dvd player is sending the signal

Most Shows you can not record off DVR if it was recorded from a premium a channel.

The device unit?U must have DVD/VCR recorder player to record things out of cable tv or other tv signals.Not just a DVD/VCR player.Read ur manual for instruction,u hook up a VCR before right,the same principle.

It is a dirty video head, you can solve this by try to use a video head cleaner tape to clean the head, I personally think they don't work very well but its worth a try because it is easy, that is if you already have one. The best way to clean the head is with audio/video head cleaner sold at an electronic supply store in a spray can and spray a bit on a business card (heaver paper) and rub across the video head (not up and down) while holding the head so it wont spin, and you'll be able to see black on the paper. You'll want to do this two or three times until the black does not show up on the paper. The video head is the chrome spinning drum that the tape rapes around. You may also try rubbing alcohol.

Hello,

First you need to look into how long the DVD player have lasted.
Then you try to play those same disc on another DVD player to get their response. If they work on other DVD players, then the lens of your player is either weak or dirty.

Try to use a lens cleaner, then try again, and if it does not work still, then the problem is that the lens is weak and needs replacement.

Take care

poppainvictu,

If your unit has some time on it and has been exposed to dust chances are you need to clean the laser lense. Do not use a commercial cleaning cd. If they don't damage your unit they certainly will not clean it. You need to go to my tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r4119308-clean_lense_cd_or_dvd_player which explains the process and where to get any supplies you may need.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating.
