Toshiba SD 4800 dvd player

Have you tried using a dvd player cleaner?

There is a small belt that has become worn or has broken. Open the DVD palyer, press the open key push on the silver disc, the tray will open, . On the tray pul the two tabs up gently, remove tray. Belt is located there

Buy a cheap DVD player under $50 they play anthing.I have a $600 Toshiba Tivo DVR that won't play some DVD s.My $32 RCA plays anything.Good Luck.

what you should do is to clean the OPTICAL LENS directly with a dry Q-tip , could be that it collected some dust and thats why its playing erratically, give it a try , AJ

there is a link you can cut.dont know which one but the web should tell you .it will then play all dvds

The unit can recognize that a disc has been loaded but can not read the contents. This can be as simple as a dirty lens or more drastic like failing optics. Try cleaning the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol. If that fails to correct the problem and a music CD will play OK, then the optics are failing. DVDs require more laser power to read than a music CD.

Looks like it's time to invest in a new DVD player.

By using the enter key instead of play.

What studio label? Some Newline DVDs appear to have some new protection, newer than the Sony ArcOS protection (or whatever it is called).

Most DVDs can only play DVDs from a single region. However, they sometimes allow you to change the region at least one time. Another option is to make your DVD player region free. This is a hack that can be performed. Once you do this, you can play DVDs from any region.
