I can not play dvds in my jensen uv8 not even brand new un-opened dvds, how can i fix this ?

I suggest you disassemble the radio and take it out that way. While your in you can check on the blockage. Shouldn' t be hard. Good luck.

It is set up so that you can't you have to do some things with the wiring I believe to get around it. It is technically illegal to do that. If you have any other questions or need further assistance let me know.
Thanks,

pulll the unit out there will be a wire marked park brake or most likly pink (remeber coming from the head unit ) next splice it in to the black wire or to a ground

I just bought the uv8. Ist I must say i hate it, it was the worst purchase made. Amoungst others problems, your answer to solve no audio is this.

<<push mute button>> then volume up. you'll have sound. good luck

I got through to tech support. For problem of no audio from DVD or CD (can only hear radio), reverse the Blue wire (power antenna) and the Blue/White wire (external power amplifier). This should solve the problem.

I've never had a problem playing videos on my unit, mpgs,mpeg,divx. Try ramvideos.com to download videos and burn using your burning software.

you may check the power plug

bypass

customer support suggested this: Turn the volume control, and while the yellow speaker icon is still visible, press and hold the volume control until you here a double beep. This confirms the new volume setting.

jensen is not such a great brand for indash. if you have the receipt or warranty you might want to return it and get yourself a new one. I know this because when i bought my phase linear i didnt want to eject the cd and the guy told me that they come very defective sometimes
