It no longer plays dvd's, it sticks on 'Reading'. After a while it comes back and says DVD incompatible, regardless of what DVD I play. I have tried it with DVD's that I own and that I have played in the player numerous times in the past.
-   My Samsung DVD and VCR V2500 is having a problem playing DVDs. It plays VCRs very well but the DVD reads until a ''NO DISC" reading display appears on the TV screen. Befrore it was playing very well. Any idea?-   Guest

-   1. My polaroid portable DVD player doesn't recognize some DVDs and VCDs. It is able to play some discs but after a while, it gets stucked, sometimes it says bad disk at the time of loading.
if i use lens cleaning CD will it clean DVD player's lens too?
2. Also, combo drive of my PC is able to recognize only brand new authentic CDs. The CD that i have written on PC are not recognized by my drive. And when i try to write new CDs on this drive it starts and gets stuck on 2-3% (using NERO). Please help.-   whoami999
It either needs some cleaning to the lens, or it might be that the player can't make the switch to read DVD's. It's my understanding that the laser has to change it's characteristics depending on the media it's reading. I believe what the drive does is try different laser settings (such as beam size, and intensity) until it can read the media. Your player might have a fault with this feature.
If opening the player chasis and brushing dust of the lens doesn't fix it, you should take it to a decent lab to get an estimate for repair. It might be minor, as some further cleaning, or it might be more critical, parts replaced etc.
