Problem for LG RC797T

Player will not read dvds




By berryspray on Oct 30, 2008

" "
After a few months, the unit stopped reading dvds. I receive the following errors - "no disc" or "unknown disc" I have already set the player to be a region free player, but unit still does not read any dvds.

Same Problem

Mar 01, 2009

-   I have Model RC797T that will read some DVD's but with others I see the "Unknown disc ... " message.  I tried entering the 1397139 code but it appears the unit is looking for a 6-digit code.  As I enter the code the first (3) digits are full size text and the next (3) are superscript and by the 7th digit it clears the first (6) and then is back to the initial position.  Am I entering the code incorrectly?
Thanks, Ron

Get into the Service Menu by entering 1397139 on the remote control like you did before and restore the original factory-set values stored in flash-memory back the way they were. One you do this your unit will function properly again. mikeadams110@yahoo.com

I've got the same problem. Sometimes dvd's play but most of the time they don't play. Will say no disk or unknown disk and they are sometimes brand new disks. Have tried reset codes but does not help
