DVD PLAYER SAYS "INCORRECT DISC" AFTER "READING DISC"

I PRESS THE OPEN/CLOSE DOOR, INSERT DVD DISC IN SLOT, PRESS DOOR AGAIN AND "READING" COMES UP, THEN AFTER AWHILE, "INCORRECT DISC" COMES UP.
I TRIED ABOUT 5-6 DIFFERENT DISCS - ONE WAS BRAND NEW OUT OF THE PACKAGE, SAME THING EACH TIME.
OWNER I BOUGHT THIS FROM SAYS IT WAS WORKING FINE WHEN HE SOLD IT TO ME AND HE EVEN SHOWED ME WHEN I WENT TO BUY IT.
DO I NEED TO REPROGRAM SOMETHING?  I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT SAID WHAT TO DO.  I BLEW IN THE OPENING, JUST IN CASE THERE WAS DIRT OR DUST, BUT NOTHING.

LOCAL TV REPAIR SAYS THAT, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE DVD PLAYER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST ABOUT $125 TO DO SO, WHICH IS NOT AN OPTION AS WE ONLY PAID $100 FOR THE WHOLE THING.

Unit model D-C350/XSA only opens region 4 need to also to open region 2 DVD's

Hi there,

When I was with Samsung NZ, the following was how we multizoned our DVD (Region 4) players:
1. Turn on your player, but ensure no disc in machine - screen should show "No Disc"
2. Turn on your TV and select your DVD input (as if you were to watch your DVD).

Using your factory supplied remote, press the following buttons:

3. Press the Repeat (or Repeat A-B) button
4. Press the following button sequence: 7, 6, 8, 8, 4, 9 (you should see the number '9' appear on screen - this means 'Region Free').
5. Press the Open/Close button (to open the tray)
6. Press the Open/Close button again (to close the tray)
7. Press Power OFF (to shut down your DVD player)
8. Press Power ON (to turn on your DVD player)
9. Insert Region 2 disc and wait (up to 1min) for firmware to respond and read your disc

If this fails, try procedure again, except for Step 4: change the last number (instead of 9) to '2'.


Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Scott

My device cant open the disc tray please advise me on what to do

Electronics Corporation sells inexpensive DVD players. The DVD players, however, often exhibit problems due to their manufacture and way that they work, which must be dealt with during the course of the player's life. Knowing what these problems are beforehand can aid in resolving difficulties when using the DVD player. In some cases, it can help eliminate the problem before it can become catastrophic



The disc door is not properly closed if the Disc player display shows an "Open" error message. Check that there are no gaps in the door and use the remote to open the disc door. If it will not open, unplug the Disc player and gently pull out the disc door and then push it in. Plug the Disc player back into the AC socket.

If the DVD has not been inserted properly into the disc tray, a "No Disc" error message will come up on the display. Eject the disc and lightly flick off dust using the edge of a lintless cloth. Inspect the disc for damage. Insert it carefully again into the disc tray and use the remote to close the disc door.


Because the Disk player is inexpensive, the power supply is not of the highest quality. Having a surge protector to plug into the Disc player will help to keep the power supply from being damaged over the course of its lifetime.

Have a nice day

Loaded dvd and now it won't play and it won't open/close

Hi i have had a similar problem to this before. I never could get it open without force, but if it is only the disc you are after then i would recommend forcefully removing the disc with a knife opening the dvd slot or by unplugging everything and unscrewing the dvd player altogether there might be something lodged in the dvd player preventing it from reading or opening. Be sure to press the power button when you unplug as it may contain electricity still.

Opens and closes repeatedly

hello,

The most common reason for the player opening and closing itself is a bad drive. The following website sells the drives and does installs:

store.richspsxparts.com/wiiredvddr

This drive should fix any reading issues you are having with your player, or issues inserting your games or ejecting them (or lack thereof). This is the entire DVD drive assembly mechanism replacement for your player including a new laser. If your discs are not ejecting, or you cannot insert a disc -- or you can insert a disc but it will not load, this is what you need to get your player going again!
Hope this helps...

Dvd slider door won't close.

Hi, is it fully open, or just partially open?
Is it nearly shut but just jammed? If so have you tried inserting a flat peice of plastic and pulling the draw open. You could do this with no power to the dvd player, It might be that you haven't inserted the disc properly and it is wedged in.

Try all this and see how you get on.

Regards - Anthony

Stopped recording/won't open door for disc at all

There's a slot on the bottom where you can insert a small slotted screwdriver and slide it to the left to get it open.

Dvd player

First, make sure the DVD Recorder is completely disconnected from the Main Supply.

Then, if you look on the base of the unit, (just underneath the front of the Disc Insert/Eject Tray), there is a small slot, (approx 25 x 8mm), in which you can see a small, white, plastic lever probably situated near the right-hand side of the slot.

Then move this lever gently to the left, and then turn it on and the tray opens by pushing the button.
