    does not read disc.

  • Muddywaters8 Jan 05, 2008

    unit has worked fine started having problems recently, would play DVD's only in a certain tray, now it won't read in any tray. Any solutions?

  • BoGGled Jan 07, 2008

    I have the same problem too. It does not play DVDs now. Says "No Play."

  • elmerten Jan 26, 2008

    "DVD No Disk" message appears whenever I try to play some of my DVDs (particularly those from boxed sets), other DVDs work fine as do ordinary CDs. The DVDs which won't paly are ones which worked fine 24 hours before.

  • shocks33600 Feb 15, 2008

    My system sometimes says format unsupported or cannot read, other times skips or freezed during movie. Tried software upgrade, lens cleaner, neither worked.

    I have had problems with my Bose 321GS system since new in that it will not play certain DVD's. For example, it sits there with "Reading" displayed on the unit but never starts the video. This has occurred for one disc out of a multidisc box on several occasions while the other discs in the set load and play normally. The "problem disc" will run fine in other DVD players. Coupled with the unit turning off at random, failing to produce sound when started on HDTV, suddenly producing a loud hiss in the middle of something or producing occasional popping sounds from the base unit has really soured me on Bose!

    my screen says "unsupported mode" and I get ghost images of dvd main menu

  • reading08 Apr 05, 2008

    Won't play DVD's anymore. I put a DVD in and it gets stuck in "reading" mode. I can hear the disc turning but it never gets going fast enough to start. I did manage to get a CD to play. It's not very old and hasn't been used hard. Some of the DVD's are brand new and I don't know what to do. I've spent good money for this and went with a brand that I thought would be reliable. I'm disappointed to say the least. HELP ME! I have a two year old and she would love to watch a few videos once in a while.

    Sound works, radio works, conections checked and rechecked, will not play any DVD installed new direct cable. Bose Instructional DVD will sometimes display limited text/sound but cannot control access to menu items.

    LG DA3520 fails to read any DVD, spindle motor does not come to speed and has little torque. When in radio FM mode the Disk drawer opens spontaneously. Pushing it in manually will close it for a short period but problem cycles

    Grrr, its terribly annoying. i have the same problem with the jvc system TH-S3. mine seems to play 'all region' dvd's and audio CDs but nothing else. i tried the jvc.co.uk website but found it ridiculously unhelpful, i expected a bit more from a company of this size but its absolutely clear that jvc has no concept of customer service whatsoever.

  • musondacolli Jan 01, 2009




    My HT-P50 has been behaving likewise. It plays some DVD's and CD's but others it doesn't. Some of the discs that it is not played used to play well before. Now it just gets stuck on 'loading disc' then moves to next disc till it says 'no disc'!
    I have tried cleaning it and I thought is could be a dust problem so I got a portable vacuum cleaner to **** the dust out of the player but nothing.


    HELP. SOMEBODY.


    CHEEDULD.

Then the problem comes from the DVD, region code problem? If it is, get a region free DVD player program such as Leawo Blu-ray Player on your pc and issue solved. If not, make sure that your DVD disc is intact, undamaged.

The DVD lens is worning out and the day is not far when it will not play any DVDs but will play audio CDs etc...and then not also that. The typical life of a lens is not more than 2 years...So the only solution is the replace the lens in the system

How do I get non blu ray dvd play

If you have only a Blu Ray player then you cannot get a regular to play on it. You need a DVD player that plays both formats or you need one that plays regular DVDs.

Hi have just bought a panasonic blu ray player model dmp-bd77 here in australia we have put in a b/ray dvd from the usa that plays perfectly but when we have put in another american dvd(not blu ray a...

Every blu ray or dvd player sold in the world comes as standard unlocked to play any disc from any region. On the fifth play of a disc the DVD or Bluray will become locked to that region. So if you play 5 USA dvd's on the player after the fifth disc has been played only US dvd's will be recognised by the player, Same applies to BLUrays. So if i were you i would be careful about what discs you are putting in the player. Otherwise you will be left with a bluray player that cannot be used in Australia. After that happens the only way to play other region discs would be to get the player unlocked. Another point to add , a blueray player has two lasers one to play bluray and another to play DVD's. Lasers can fail so you could be able to play DVD's but not Bluray or vice versa depending on which laser has failed.

I recorded onto DVD-R discs and then finalized but they wont play on my dvd? how can i get them to play ? i usually buy DVD RW

Some dvd players cannot play certain types of discs. You could check to see if the manufacturer of the dvd player has a firmware update to fix this problem. Older dvd players have trouble playing some of these discs. Most newer dvd players do not have issues and have upgradable firmware to adjust for different formats. Does your burner also do DVD+R discs? Maybe try using those and see if it plays on your dvd player.

The Player does not work with Compact Discs.Hoiw to rectify prob

HELLO
I have had this problem quite a few times and I will explain. In the laser pick-up of a DVD player it is, in fact, TWO lasers in one block. One plays CD/MP3 discs and other plays DVD's. It's more than likely that the CD laser has gone faulty which means you can only play DVD.
I have also had the reverse problem of it only plays CD's and not DVD. If you are not too upset that you cannot play CD's then just use it as a DVD player. If you want you can try to clean the lens of the laser block, but it's unlikely that will cure it.
You have two options. Use it as a DVD player only or get the optical block replaced, but it will cost you just as much as another DVD player if not more!
Hope this helps :-).

Playing recordable dvd

Your player may only be able to play DVD-format discs. Try converting the video with Nero or WinAvi or DVDFlick to true DVD format.

Toshiba SD-43HK Discs failing to load.

Sorry not a solution but experienced the same problem. The problem started off the same as you described by now my player won't play DVDs at all. Seems that the laser is faulty and it is cost prohibitive to repair (it's sold as a complete module which would be around £100). I've been advised to replace it :-(
