My player is giving me a messege on the screen saying that the dvd is not compatible with this player. The only problem is that its a legitemate dvd ( not bootleg) and I was just playing this same movie two days ago. I received this messege after I unplugged it and connected it to a different T.V.
Switched player to a older tv which I had to buy a RF out adapter. The old Hitachi tv now has a vcr and the dvd connected. The vcr plays. The rca dvd sends a message that disc is not compatable.The disc's played on other dvd's
This dvd played when it was connected to my 1999 Sony.

I swiched the rc5220P dvd to an old 1999 Hitachi tv for which I had to buy a RF out adapter.This also has a vcr player hooked up. The vcr works, the dvd showes a message, disc is not compatable.

Have you tried that dvd in another player? Have you tried another dvd in your player? Since this began after you moved it, do some backtracking. If someone says...it quit AFTER I did...such and such, then THAT is most likely the cause. I have solved many problems by backtracking.

Some DVD copies use different compression codes.
check files by loading on a computer (do not auto play)
view folder on DVD then view file detail see if compatible file types with your system...
Please check :
- The type of disc you are playing ( it may not compatible with your player)
- The lens ( it may dirty and need cleaning and or replacement).

Make sure the player is switched on, and is at the Samsung logo screen. Also check the tray is shut and that there's no disc in the player.
Now press the REPEAT button on the remote, followed by a five digit code. This code is different depending on what region your player is *currently* set to:
So for example if you have an R2 player, press REPEAT-3-8-7-6-7.
If you've done this correctly (and your player is compatible with the hack), you should see a number at the top left corner of the screen corresponding to the current region.
Now, pressing any number from 1 to 6 will change to the corresponding region. Or, press 9 for auto-region mode.
Next, press OPEN/CLOSE to open the tray, followed by Standby (or DVD POWER) on the remote to close it and put the player into Standby mode. The next time you turn your player on, the new region will be set.
If the above codes don't work try 57538.
The software on your laptop is not compatible go to another software, I had the same troubles with my computer software and I found that NERO 8 works real good even making music CD's for your car.
Mine is doing the same thing. I turn it on, it lights up, it says open, but it won't play dvds or cds. Its not spinning and theres no sound. It used to be a good little player. Is it fixable for a reasonable price or is it shot? Thanks for your help, Jim
it is the dvd, it is the brand of dvd that is the problem. then sometime it could be how they copied the movie or what have you nothing is wron with the player it self
First you need a player that plays divx if it does then try downloading the movie onto a different disc the dvd-r have never worked on my player even though it says they will the dvd+r sometimes works its a crap shoot.
Is it the DVD player/cd burner combo on your computer or simple CD player?
Or
Compatibility: Check if your DVD player on your computer is compatible of playing -r's CD or DVD?.
Check the make and model of your computer and go to the manufacturer's website and find out from there.
Or
You might have to talk to the manufacturer's support.
and if you are sure that the DVD player and its compatible of playing -r's DVDs then first of all check by playing any +r's DVD and see how they respond. If you are certain that it plays - and +rs etc then recheck your recording of DVD's.
Also try installing a good program software like Nero on the computer which will give you options of controlling, burning and playing DVD/CD on your computer.
Best of luck!
