Inserted dvd in player, but screen shows "no disc"

Try several discs. If it happens with all of them it confirms that you have a problem with the disc player. You'll probably need to get a technician to look at it.

1) Spotlight search DVD player 2) Launch DVD player (without disc inside) 3) Open up the "Preferences" of DVD Player 4) Check the box that says "When disc is inserted...Begin playing disc"

Disc need formating. While disc is in the unit press Function on the remote then arrow down to Other Function then OK button then select DVD Management then select Format disc.

Ur disk is not readable to the laser eye.
That why u can't open the disk tray.
Must take it aparts to take out the disk.
U just hope the laser eye not damage.

Follow this procedure to troubleshoot if the DVD player cannot read or play the inserted disc.

1. Ensure the inserted disc is compatible with the DVD player.IMPORTANT: Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the product for a list of compatible disc. Manuals are available online in the Manuals/Specs/Warranty section of the Sony® eSupport Web site.
   
2. Use a soft cloth to clean the disc.
3. Examine the disc for any cracks or scratches that might be interfering with playback.
4. Attempt to play another disc.NOTES:
   
   • If another disc plays in the DVD player, then the previous disc is faulty.
   • Some recordable discs may not play correctly because of the quality of the recording, the physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device or authoring software used.
   
   
5. Remove the disc from the DVD player.
6. Turn off the DVD player.
7. Unplug the power cord of the DVD player from the AC outlet.
8. Let the DVD player remain without power for 1 minute.
9. Plug the power cord back into the AC outlet.
10. Turn on the DVD player.
11. Insert the disc into the DVD player.
12. Attempt to play the disc.

If still persists, its time for your device to get serviced.

I had this same problem with my Apex AD-500W DVD Player. I decided since everyone said the player basically needed to be replaced it wouldn't hurt to go through the buttons on the remote just to try and figure it out......I DID!!!! I turned on my DVD Player, inserted a disc, turned on my tv and then hit the SYSTEM Button right below the power button until the screen said MULTI and the machine started working perfectly. There are 3 settings in that button, PAL which made my screen go crazy, NTSC ( i have no clue) and MULTI(this one made it work)! Hope it also works for all of you!!!

Reset you player by doing the following:
With the player on, hooked properly to your television, and on the correct station:
Open the tray
Close the tray (with no DVD inserted)
Hold the stop button down for a full 5 seconds
The CyberHome screen should appear. You should be able to play your dvd's now.

i would say for some reason your dvd player is not compatible from now on with that brand of blank dvd!


get the firmware update from the brand website all you do is download the file burnit on a cd and put it in the dvd player should fix most and eventual problems

Does this problem only occur when a HDMI cable is inserted (No Disc problem)? If so then the hardware is probably faulty. Try returning it for a new player.

Unfortunately, your DVD player is broken. Portable units like these often get bumped and jostled and the motor that spins the DVD quits (very small and fragile). Sorry, I wish there were a magic button.
