Disc error ''playback feature maynot be available on dvd''

Try unplugging the unit for a few seconds, plug it back in and try it. It may also be dirty and need a service.

are you putting disc in right way up?

okay.. it sounds like you may be burning a multisession disc

if you can get to the "burn settings" select the "master copy" option instead of the "multi-session disc" option..
if it only says that playback MAY not be available, try it anyway see what happens. however if you try it in a computer then you should get it working reguardless as a multi-session disc is apparently "open" for information to be written on at a later time...

Good luck

dirty dirty dirty
clean the dvd player

Hello arnita2211,

This error message is due to an improper format, that your dvd player can't handle. To correct this you need to use a program such as nero and in nero is a program called nero vision, that will recode the movie file into a dvd playable format.

You can download a trial of nero here

You will have to purchase a license when the trial ends. Sorry we cannot give you a serial key for this as it is Illegal.

Thank you for trying Fixya!

the message you are getting is the machines waay of telling you that it can not read that disc. which means you will have to burn your discs in a different format. or your are using a type of disc it does not recognize.

I have a DVD and VHS player in 1 and it was working well then all of a sudden the DVD player part just stopped playing. I stick in a disk and then it would read: disk error play back feature may not be available on this disk. And this disk is fine it plays in my daughters room in her 2 in 1 player. so What can I do? The VHS player works well. Help! I dont really want to buy a new one!

I think I figured it out...at least mine is working now anyways and it hasn't worked in 2 years! I got the remote out, pushed setup in dvd mode and initialize and now it works

I had that problem too, until I got DVD43 (a freeware program) DVD43 Runs between your conputer DVD player, and then removes the DRM copy guard signal, Before it goes to your copy program.

disc error msg playback may not be available on this disc.....help
