This might be caused due to dust setting on the lens of the sensor, which  is used to read the disc. You could easily clean the lens by opening up the unit and using a small amount of rubbing alcohol.

Another problem which some users seems to face, is that the spinner which is at the center of the DVD tray, moves down after using the player for a while. This causes the distance between the disc and sensor to change. This might result in erroneous reads. A possible solutions would be to adjust the position of the spinner by moving it up (or down) a bit. Do this temporarily and if it works, use super glue to make sure that the spinner does not move about.

SOURCE: Does not read DVD, get message WRON DISC

The problem is with the disc players laser tracking system. You may still be able to repair it by taking it apart and doing a though clean of the laser and the disc transport system. This requires that you have the proper tools and work space to open up the television and take out the disc player transport and work on it.If this seem over your head as far as working on it . Try to find a school in your area that is teaching television repair and other products. Find out if they allow people to bring in their televisions for repair at the cost of parts only.If they do then allow them to work on you dvd player and hopefully, they can find the problem and repair it for you at low cost. If you cannot get the school to help you, maybe one of the teachers or students can help you with your problem. I hope this helps you with your problem.

SOURCE: my dvd player is stuck

Hi, For some reason the disk will not play. You push the eject button over and over again, but the disk slot will not open. Here's one solution...
* 1 Turn off the DVD player. Wait a few minutes, turn the DVD player back on, and
then press the "eject" button. If this does not work, turn it off and unplug
the DVD player...while you keep pushing EJECT button plug the DVD and turn it on (your hand still on the eject..) is should come out..
* 2 ..if it does not eject , unplug the DVD player again, Remove the screws off DVD on the sides and take off the DVD casing.
* 3 Look for the DVD holder inside the DVD player. This device holds the DVD in
place while the DVD player reads the disk.
* 4 Push the stuck DVD disk toward the front of the DVD player until the DVD
ejects. Remember the DVD player is not on and some force ( gentle ! ) must be applied.
* 5 While it is open,plug it on and place a DVD disc just to see if mechanism works properly..
* 6 Replace the casing and the screws. Plug the player in and turn it on. Put
another DVD in to test whether the player is finally working ..
Hope this helps!..
Take care and please

My dvd player would't play any dvd's. It used to play any regions, but now i often/always get the message "cannot play" Sometimes the movie start up normal, but often the picture freeze...

The dvd player has reached the end of it's service life, over a period of time the laser pickup becomes weaker until it can no longer read the disc. One option is to purchase a disc cleaning kit and follow the instructions to possibly give new life to the unit, if that fails it is far cheaper to replace the item than have it repaired.

I have a Digital Home Theater HT-DS400 Samsung. I have problems in reading a music CD or a DVD. You can read the message "Loading.." for a while and then stops and reads "NO DISC". ...

  • Make sure you have a non home made DVD. Some DVD players will not play DVD'S in certain formats.
  • If you have a normal DVD in the DVD player and are getting "NO Disk" then there is a real good possibility the lens is just so dirty that it is not recognizing your DVD at all. This happens a lot to all disk players that are neglected from the cleaning process. Get a disk player cleaner and run it through a few times until the disk is read again. Sometimes the lens is so dirty you have to try a few times just to get the cleaner disk itself to play just to do the actual cleaning. Make sure to run that cleaner disk through once a week. These disk cleaners "sweep" the lens and work well. You can get one at your local Best Buy for $8usd.
  • The last thing it could be is that somehow the lens has come out of alignment. Just a millimeter out of alignment is all it takes to not be able to read a disk and DVD players get bumped and knocked off the shelf easy. So this can happen often especially with the more smaller travel DVD player.

  • Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

When I put in any DVD Disc, you can hear the disc spin. I opened the unit and put a disc in and could see it spin and you can see the laser light come on to try and read the disc. After about 10 sec or...

Is this a blueray player? If it is, the disc you put in probably isn't formatted to the blueray. If it is a standard dvd player there is probably something wrong with the player. You have two options. One, to take it in for service or two, to get another dvd player. If you have another dvd player in your home, try the disc you can't play from the one player and put it into the working player. If that works, then something is wrong with the dvd player you are having issues with.

My DVD player keeps loading then it says "wrong disc." The DVD will play on other DVD players. Please help!

Diagnosing the fauty parts on dvd player is quite technical but i will suggest a diy solution that may help you on your problem.
Try cleaning the Lens of your DVD(It might be covered by dust thats why it can't read any disc) by a soft cotton bud. Be careful while doing these and try if it will work.
If the problem is still there then i've advice you to send it to repair shop to replace the faulty parts.

Thanks for using fixya.

I have tried several DVD discs in my Memorex DVD player and the same thing keeps occurring where it will say it is loading but then after a minute or so it says "Wrong Disc." It used to work fine...

I am not even sure I am allowed to tell you this but if you take out all the screws holding the cover in place so you can clean the lens inside with a cotton swab and a little bit of alcohol it will most likely fix your DVD player. MAKE SURE IT IS UNPLUGGED!!! If you dont UNPLUG it you can cause serious injury or death! I myself have fixed several read errors by doing so. Make sure to replace cover before plugging it back in.

After disc is loaded, it says "unknown disc."

Is it a pirated dvd? If it is, do you know some dvd players won't read pirated dvds? And if it isn't, then your dvd player may be dirty (the lens). For that you would have to buy a cleaning disk. You can get one at Radioshack. Or maybe what type of dvd type is it? Is it dvd-r, dvd-rw, or what? Some dvd players have trouble reading dvd-rw sometimes.

Hope this helps.
