It took about 45 minutes, without a manual. Carefully disconnecting all cables and marking them so the would go back in the right place later. Carefully Disassembling the unit, removing the cover - 6 screws, noting all screws and where they came from, pulling the front panel using the plastic tabs, removing the top front edge cover - two screws, removing the disk assembly - 4 screws, pulling the two thin leads so I could pull the entire assembly out. Removing the back plastic cover from the DVD assembly and identifying the Optical Disc Lense. Spraying some LENSE CLEANER on the same cloth that I clean my glasses with, and carefully wiping across - gentle stroke in same direction, then opposite direction - a few times. Spray lense cleaner on the cloth not on the lense.
Reassemble. Reverse order of above.
Works great now. BEST OF LUCK....Or you can find almost any DVD repair facility. This is not a unique process.

I suggest all the people,and there seems to be many, who are having problems with their Emerson EWR20V5 units contact the nearest Consumer Protection Agency and lodge a formal complaint and ask that Emerson be forced to fix or replace these units at Emerson's expense or desist operation until such time they have complied.

It appears that there are several people have problems with the Emerson ewr20v5 unit with little or no help from the tech support at Emerson. I suggest we all contact our nearest Cunsumer Protection Agency and lodge a formal complaint and see if they can encourage Emerson to do something to fix their equipment at their expense or stop operation until they
