At first I thought the disk was scratched since my
year and one-half grandson had been playing with
that particular disk and this was why the disk was
freezing at the same point during several attempts
to play it. After it froze the picture the disk drawer
opened without me doing anything further.
Tried several other DVDs and same result
occurred.
The machine I have is a JVC Model XV-N55 DVD/
Super VCD/VCD/CD Player.
Thanks,

"No Disc " message on different disks usually means a lens problem, as already suggested you need to access the lens pickup after removing the dvd cover, and to clean the lens with Q Tips and isopropyl alcohol.
This kind of maintainance should be performed by a technician , if you decide to do it yourself, unplug the unit before servicing it, and be very careful.
Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Based on your description and since the error happens on the same position, possible a mechanical problem with the traverse mechanism. This is the metal rod that the lens carriage move along from center of disc to edge of disc. Pls reference below image.
Corrective measure therefore would require opening the unit, locating and cleaning this metal rod and all other attendant mechanism/parts including the worm gear and re-application of appropriate lubricant.
Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
U saying that the prob is in disk or in the player?
Try a dvd lens cleaner, if a cleaner doesn't work you possibly have a fault in the dvd drive or on the lens, hows your JVC warranty?
Hi
Have you tried cleaning the disc itself and do you have a lens cleaner for your unit. Keep us posted. Thanks

Just ran jVC Cleaner disc and freezing still occurs. Noted that
freezing now begins at 18 second mark. When I tried to
run Cleaner disc a second time, it did not even make it to
the main menu screen.
On several attempts machine became stuck on Reading screen;
then went to Open command. On last attempt after being
stuck on Reading Screen, No Disc message appeared.
