DVD won't play

When inserting a DVD the display box reads H02 followed by NO PLAY. How can we resolve?

    Every disk I insert prompts the display to read "NO PLAY." The owner's manual -- a document that's hardly readable and of little help at all on anything -- says "the disk that this unit cannot play is loaded."

    You get my point.

    The solution offered here on this site talks about using a head-cleaning disk, but the writer seems to have little confidence in that fix. The writer also mentions the disk might "put off a proper cleaning." What is a proper cleaning and how do you do it?

    This DVD players comes with five speakers, which still work fine, far as I know. Is it worth trying to fix the player, or should I just buy a new one. And if so, how do I find a player that will work with the speakers?

    Thanks.

    Having the same problem with my Yamaha DVX-S100. When a DVD is in it says"read" then "HO" then "NO PLAY" I don't think the DVD even spins. Tried cleaning, but no results. Someone told me it's not worth fixing. If this cannot be fixed, is there anyway to put a new component in this system..other than what they will charge me at Yamaha?

    Just burned a DVD . It will not play in the computer or DVD player.

    The computer shows the DVD as being nonexistent and the DVD player will goto "OO" and no more. I burned it as I have done many others. They work.

    Bab DVD? Is there any way to fix the burned DVD so the computer and DVD palyer will recognaize it?

Is this happens on every disc? The NO PLAY message appears when "The disc that this unit cannot play is loaded (from the user guide)". Maybe it's something to do with the DVD region? If you sure that the system supports the disc's format.. And it won't play other discs... try to clean the CD lens. CD lens cleaning discs: Every CD, stereo equipment, department, discount, store - and even sidewalk venders - carries CD lens cleaning discs. Are they of any value? Can they cause damage? I generally don't consider CD lens cleaning discs to be of much value for preventive maintenance since they may just move the crud around. However, for pure non-greasy dust (no tobacco smoke and no cooking grease), they may not hurt and could even do a good enough job to put off a proper cleaning for a while longer. However, it's also possible they will ruin the lens. Consider that the worst thing to do to a precision optical surface is to wipe it with a dry cloth as this is likely to scratch the surface as it rubs the dust over it. To the lens, a speck of dust is like a boulder. Once the lens is scratched, replacement of the entire optical pickup is the only remedy. And, since there are absolutely no sorts of standards for these things, it is possible for a really poorly designed cleaning disc to damage the lens even if the dust itself is non-abrasive. In addition, if the cleaning disc doesn't look like a CD to the optical pickup or disc-in sensor, the lens it may not even spin. So, the drawer closes, the drawer opens, and NOTHING has been accomplished! (But at least no damage will be done.) As if this isn't enough, NEVER put one into a high-X CDROM (DVD player or DVDROM drive). The high speed rotation may cause the cleaning disc and/or player/drive to self destruct. And, don't try a cleaning disc on an automotive CD player that sucks in the disk - it will get stuck.

Dvd will not play. H02 appears. Have reset to no

H02 is a fault code, though I don't know what. It code be either an electrical fault or mechanical problem. A mechanical fault might be easy to spot so take off the top cover and see if anything is broken, otherwise I suggest a service manual will come in handy.

Code H02

Your DVD player is having an issue with the spindle motor (the thing that spins the DVD around). The following solution works for most people, and you should only have to do this once.

  1. Unplug the DVD player.
  2. Take the cover off.
  3. Place a disc on the spindle.
  4. Put a little pressure on the disc (so it doesn't slip) and spin it around a few times.
  5. Remove the disc, reassemble, and plug back in.
  6. Try to play a DVD.
  7. Report back if this solved your problem, or if more troubleshooting is needed.

PANASONIC SA-HT800V

Ouch - This generally one of two things.

1 - Run up speed is not sufficient due to motor wear.
2 - The laser head sits within a 'plastic' runner, which wear down slowly, causing the laser to be misaligned - therefore not reading adequately.

Depending how adventurous you are feeling - you could dismantle the unit - and 'space off' the laser unit (Single piece of paper) this will lift up the laser.
Or you may be able to adjust the calibration power of the laser using a variable pot (unlikely to be available as these are generally hard coded nowadays - and not physical pots)
