Philips HTS6510 dvd player useless ..

What is the format of the drive? The Philips HTS6510 can only read USB drives that are formatted as FAT16 or FAT32. It can't read files from an NTFS drive. NTFS is the "new file system" for Windows but dates to Windows NT/Windows 2K or so. This is the default format for larger capacity USB drives since more files can be added per folder. See page 51 of the manual for the Philips HTS6510 for the file format specifications for USB drives.

If the file format is FAT16 or FAT32, try a different USB drive and check the current drive in another device. The USB drive may be damaged or may have lost the data it needs to find the files. All flash memory can fail with no warning. Replace a faulty drive. Alternatively, the USB port on the HTS6510 could be damaged. This can happen if too much current flows through the port. If the port is damaged, I don't recommend having the unit repaired unless it is under warranty (1 year). Copy your files to a CD and listen to the music or view the images from that media. The overall cost will be lower.

Philips has the manual on the product support page: https://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/HTS6510_05/-/support . The current link to the manual is https://www.download.p4c.philips.com/files/h/hts6510_05/hts6510_05_dfu_eng.pdf .

I hope this helps.

it could be the disc itself dvds really don't age that well a common problem is that one day they just decide to freeze and stop working even though they had only been played a few times the most extreme would be your situation. I would suggest trying newer dvds out if same problem occurs then it is a problem with the dvd player.

pls check ur dvd player optial pickup lense.try to clean or replace.

Hi, mine is also blocked, completely frozen. it also shows AUX and won't react to anything. Have you already solved the problem? Whad dit you do?
thx for the effort to reply,

jessgeorge please change the disc motor as the speed of the motor should be slow for the dvds next change the lens

Try Media player classic under k-lite codec pack. Then open video files on the dvd. If it doesn't help try another codec player. If nothing helps could it be that dvd player is not capable of multilayer dvd reading.

Try using a programme called dvd flick http://www.dvdflick.net/ to author your dvds and use imgburn http://www.imgburn.com/ to burn them. I had similar kind of problem with dvds burned with nero and now use dvd flick and imgburn all the time and have had no problems. They are both free programmes so hopefully they will sort the problem out for you :)

Unplug/replug unit, try commercial dvd's again. If fails - call Philips- find out about replacement options

The back light for the LCD is dead. I took apart my Grandfathers player the other day and put a light behind the screen and could see. I am trying to either find a new LCD or the backlight for it.

Hi, i have one kind of this model.But i never faced this issue. in general, some DVD players wont recognise regional specific DVDs, we need to make the region free setting on DVD player. i suspect some thing like this. Please check on philips web site the region free stpes for this particular model. Thanks, Pavan
