My Sony DVP-CX995V quit playing DVD's. I was listening to a CD, stoped it, went to menu, picked a DVD and bow it say's " Cannot Read Disc " On ALL of My DVD's. All CD's & DVD's are storebought. I've had this over 8 yrs, I know how to work it petty well, did I hit something on the remote by mistake ???

Does the spindle motor even try and spin the disk? Pop the top (8 screws) and watch the loader grab a disk and place into transport. The disc should immediantly start to spin and the little laser should scoot back and forth looking for something. If the disc never spins but the laser is moving, you may have a bad motor, or a bad pickup (transport mechanism includes motor and laser pickup). A replacement for this model is about $125 but you can get the same part out of a cheap DVP-S360 for about $20 on ebay. Just make sure you ask if it works before you buy it on BOTH CD and DVD as its 2 different lasers in that part.

You need to convert avi files to dvd format before burning, otherwise the player won't recognize them. Google "avi to dvd" and you'll find a number of free or pay programs that will do the conversion for you.

SOURCE: Suddenly "cannot play this disk" on Sony DVD/CD..every DVD...CD's work!

I have the same problem. I have a 5 year warranty from the company I purchased the unit from. I am not sure if they will replace it or not. I am reluctant to buy another one with this known issue. We have enjoyed the unit for nearly 3 years with no issues.

SOURCE: Sony DVP-NC600 Multi-disc DVD Player No Disc Error

The only other thing I can suggest, having repaired many Sony CD/DVD players, is to get a can of compressed air and try to blow any dust out from the laser assembly. Since you've already cleaned the lens (the most common problem), you also might have dust down inside the assembly. Try blowing with the air nozzle down inside, around the gap between the lens and the cover surrounding it. Do it from at least a couple of inches away, if the air is too powerful you can damage the wiring inside the assembly.

If this fails to correct the problem, your laser output may have diminished over time and the only repair is to install a new laser assembly. The cost of this part will most likely not be worth it to you since the unit is quite old now.

Sony CX995v "Cannot Play" message on DVDs but plays CDs O.K.

Hi...
The laser goes thru a different lens arraignment for DVDs.
Take it to a TV shop and have them "blow out" the laser assembly with some CO2 and clean the lens.
