Menu reads "Disc is dirty" and refuses to play disc when inserted
OK, I've had this DVD player for a little less than a year. Today, I picked up a new DVD, and I noticed that the loading time took quite a bit longer than usual upon insertion. After the delayed loading, a message flashed on the screen stating "The Disc Is Dirty", upon which I inserted a DVD lens cleaner, which did not work. The only results from that were "Cannot play this disc". I am getting a little tired of buying a new DVD player every year (this is my 4th), so is there a quick fix for my problem?

The only practical way to check such a disc is by substitution of another disc which is believed to be OK. But first, verify your test disc is OK by playing the disc in another player known to operate properly. If the disc passes that test, insert the OK disc in your DVP615. If the test disc produces the same error message as your first disc, the player itself is more likely to be defective. However, there is still a small chance the read head is merely dirty or dusty, so cleaning is the next step.
either the disc you inserted hasn't got a menu. the only thing DVD's do this is because there is no Menu provided in the DVD DISC. In the other case, where it remains "read" the disc might not be clean, scratched, dusty or simply incompatible with your DVD Player. Always clean discs before and after playing them in your DVD Player. Hope this helps, good luck!
try to clean your machine by playing a lens cleaner disc coz the lens might be dirt enough not to pick on data from the discs you play. if it does not work then isuggest you change the lens coz it might be weak
Some models of PIONEER cd players had radio frequency problems that caused them to work on and off. Are you near any radio or braodcast towers? Poorly shielded power supplies cause this as well. A weak laser diode in the pick-up assembly in model runs could be the problem. You might want to Google the model number and see if this is common for these units.
