Player doesn't recognize most CDs - 'no disc' message appears.

There are several possible reasons why your DVD player is not playing movies, but is playing CDs. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the issue:

1. Clean the disc: Sometimes, a dirty or scratched disc can cause the "no disc" error message. Try cleaning the disc with a soft, lint-free cloth, wiping from the center outwards. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives.
2. Clean the DVD player: A dirty lens or other components in the DVD player can also cause problems with reading discs. Try using a DVD lens cleaning kit to clean the lens, or open up the DVD player and carefully clean any visible dust or debris.
3. Check the disc format: Make sure that the movies you are trying to play are in a format that is compatible with your DVD player. Some players may not support certain file types, such as Blu-ray discs or region-specific DVDs.
4. Check the connections: Make sure that all cables and connections are securely plugged in and functioning properly. Try using a different cable or port if possible.
5. Reset the DVD player: Some DVD players have a reset button or option in the settings menu. Try resetting the player to its default settings and see if that resolves the issue.

If none of these steps work, it's possible that there may be a hardware issue with your DVD player, such as a malfunctioning laser or drive motor. In that case, it may be necessary to take the player to a repair shop or consider purchasing a new one.

please do simple process by simply cleaning the lens area with cotton swabs. please don't try to play any disk in try open stage, you may damage your player thanks gizmo

Read head damaged.

The last 3 discs might be CD-RW which can be rewritten, but not all cd players will be able to read them. Just go to the store and buy some CD-R disks and re-burn the last 3 disks. That should solve your problem.

Please check the disc format

Try cleaning the lens with a cd/dvd lens cleaner disc. Another thing of note....some cd players simply will not recognize homemade cds, or dics that are not audio discs, or if they were made on a computer.

replace the optic lens and the spindle motor or if you do not have time try to purchase a optic assembly so that its easily to replaced.you have to purchase is the same model as your unit brand.

Make sure you have Windows Media Player 11
You need to run your mouse over the Rip tab
Click the arrow that appears under the Rip tab
Change the "Format" to "mp3"

Now your GoGear will recognize any CD you rip from here on out

Hi, I have the same problem. Have called Samsung, those **** don't know ****. The player also doesn't recognize DIVX. This is what you get when you buy Korean cheap ****. I've sent mine in the garbage. I was smiling as the garbage collectors came and took it to hell.
