Sony DAV FC7 Stops Playing

play a lens cleaner cd in it,,, it will work smoothly

the last sent DVD was bad i think

that is very unusual the laser pickup has failed in the CD side of it usually it is the other way around but anyway you need to have it replaced about a 60 dollar job

No problem, thats great that problem solved.

is ur dvd player in an inclosed area because they need air and some more than others. is the device getting hot to the tuch. if it is then put somthing under the corners of the dvd player to raise it up. this should stop it from over heating. also try cleaning it. please rate my suggestion. thanks

I had the same problem....but it kept taking longer and longer for it to quiet down, then eventually it just kept whining and I couldn't take it anymore...I had to stop using it for tv and only used it for DVDs (it didn't whine on the dvd function). I was going to get rid of the unit because my old tv died and I had to buy a new flat screen high-def unit, which needs a surround system to do it justice. I then noticed the digital optical connection on the Sony DAV-FC7 as well as my new Direct TV HD-DVR. I bought the optical cable for about $15 and hooked it up....and voila...NO MORE WHINE! If you have the optical connection option....try that route...it might work for you as it did for me. Good luck

because of bad loading mechanisum.
its belt melted i think.can you observe the motor runing sound the inside of player.

nuwan...

I think that this is the laser unit as I have three of these units and I have swapped everything but the laser unit.

I had the same problem and searched FIX and found a solution for a Phillips DVD player that worked on my Sony DAV-FC7 dvd player. Someone posted that they called their Phillips Tech Service and was told to (a) unplug the dvd unit from the wall and wait 20 seconds,then (b) press the standby+plug the unit back into the wall at the same time and hold for 10 seconds. I did this for my Sony DAV-FC7 which would not power on nor eject (just red light on). IT WORKED!! after doing these steps, my SONY powered on and the rented DVD ejected. The dvd palyer works again. Thanks fellow FIXYA "posters".

I'd return it. If it stops after you hit the top it sounds like a mechanical problem. might be shipping damege.
