I have a toshiba 22lv50 dvd lcd tv. All of a sudden I'm getting a dvd region code error on dvds that previously ran fine. These dvds work fine on other players. Not all dvds come up with this error. Toshiba suggests to clean disc and power down tv and unplug for 30 mins and try again. No change.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Maybe the spindle motor is turning defect causing not to spin the disc naturally,its time to have to check that to the Toshiba service center

When attempting to play a Region 1 DVD the message "Region Code Error" is displayed on the TV's DVD splash screen.
Procedure: Use the following procedure to reinitialize the DVD Data:

3. Press and hold the "volume down" button to place the volume level to minimum (0). Release the "volume down" button.
4. Press "volume down" button on the TV set and the number "4" on the remote control at the same time. Continue to hold the buttons until the TV briefly displays the "Initialize 5" then the "Complete" message on the screen. This message displayed on the screen is very brief in duration.
