Every DVD I insert in my DWM 400 comes up

to get any user manual go google and type in ---user manual for sanyo dwm-470 3- disc dvd/cd player--- and there will be a site (probably a sanyo site ) that will have a pdf version download

Have you tried unplugging the player, waiting a few seconds and then plugging it back in? Sometimes that works.

FBI warning on disks are normal and is part of content on dvd, this has nothing to do with the fact that it stops playing (just coincidence) there might be a defect on the disc or scratches

Sanyo DWM-400

1. Open tray
2. Press 5, 7, 9, 2
3. Select 0 for multi-region
4. Close tray

if this will not work then. its not possible to change the region

This may be because it is region locked. The following will make the player region free and possibly solve your problem. By making your player region free you MAY be voiding any warranty the player has on it.

1. Switch on, wait for "no disc"
2. Enter 11233543254346
3. Switch off

I bought another DVD player. I found out that all DVD's don't play on all DVD brands of players. They are cheap enough these days so I decided it wasn't worth a repair bill. The Sanyo DWM-400 plays many of my store bought DVD's and not others. I never tried a home made DVD in it so I don't know how it responds.

I have a DWM 3000u that won't play some new DVDs. The movie is pixlated. Is there a firmware fix or do I need to buy a machine?

I have a similar problem with the Sanyo DWM-400. I also cannot turn power off. Even when I unplug it and then again plug in the power cord it will come back on after several minutes all by its self. It will then work okay for a few minutes and will play a DVD and will suddenly quit showing a picture. It seems that something is overheating shortly after turning it on. After letting it sit and cool down for a while it will play again but only for few minutes. Although I have had this player since April 2004 it has rarely been used. I estimate it only been used no more than 10 hours total. With so many buyers having this problem Sanyo should issue a recall on this model.

We have the same problem with our Sanyo DWM-3800.
