DVD display indicates "no disc"

According to the manual, http://www.jensenmobile.com/mobile-multimedia/?sku=VM9216BT under the Support/Manuals tab, the VM9216BT reads VCD, SVCD, XVid ,AVI, MPEG 1/2 formats. Commercial DVDs will work if you match the device Region with the discs region code. (All or Region 1 in the US). The DVDs should be DVD-5 (single-sided, single layer), DVD-9 (single-sided, double layer), DVD-10 (double-sided, single layer) or DVD-18 (double-sided, double layer). Note: video CDs and DVDs, like audio CDs, need to be finalized by the drive that burned them.

I hope this helps.

All DVD players use a dual laser pick up. One laser is for CD/VCD/MP3 and the other laser is only for DVD. If you have watched more DVD and less CD's you could be having a problem with the DVD laser. Must have become week and the system cannot read the disk. Change of the lens unit will solve your problem.

Just the CD discussion. DVD is above it on page 12...

CD [CD] [WMA] [MP3] [JPEG] [VCD]

≥This unit can play CD-R/RW recorded with the above formats. Close the sessions or finalize §2 the disc after recording.

≥ [CD] This unit is compatible with HDCD, but does not support the Peak Extend function (a function which expands the

dynamic range of high-level signals).

HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits, as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs.

different bit rates).

§1 Includes single-sided, dual-layer discs.

§2 A process that allows play on compatible equipment.
≥ It may not be possible to play all the above-mentioned discs in some cases due to the type of disc or condition of the recording.

hi,
i have got the same complaint some days ago. your players spindle motor is faulty.
its winding have some problem. spindle motor is that one on which the dvd spins. when u insert the dvd it is not rotating at the required rpm. thats why it is not reading. the problem will not be with video cds . because it doesn't required a high rpm. replace the spindle motor. it will not cost a lot. its sure that ur problem will be solved.
if then also the problem remains,
your player's laser pick up unit have some problem with its DVD laser. there are two types of laser in dvd players. one for reading and playing audio cds, mp3 and video cds and the other for reading and playing dvds. in your player dvd laser have problem. dont think that these are two separate unit. the lasers are mounded in the same unit. if any of the laser get damaged you have to replace the whole unit.
if u need any more assistance feel free to contact me through fixya.
bellow is the image of laser pickup mechanism

Hi,you need to have the laser replaced in the unit.

Hi

As per its user manual you cannot play back discs such as VCD (VIDEO CD) ,CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, etc., even though they may be labelled . Please refer to Onkyo DVC600 User Manual for more information.

Please do rate the solution as FixYa and revert for further assistance.

Thanks

Try opening up the unit and cleaning the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol. Cds and VCDs don't require as much laser power to be read correctly. Usually when you can read CDs but not DVDs, the optics are starting to fail.
