My Philips DVDR75 is totally locked

Hello, Ciprian -

Your television service provider (cable or satellite dish) provider may not allow DVRs which the company does not provide. We have AT&T Uverse as our cable TV provider and must use the DVR the company provides (and charges for.)

Have you checked the policies of your TV service provider regarding the use of DVRs not provided by the service company?

1. Press SETUP on the remote
2. Press 5 0 1 8 and Pick Region-code from 0-6 (0=Region Free)

clean the lazer with alcohol.

Do you have a disc locked up inside?

I found that there IS a manual release for the disc tray UNDERNEATH the unit. It is a sort of toggle lever that you have to slide to the other side and that releases the disc. The Manual does not even mention this manual release lever!

Also, it may be hidden or covered by a paper like cover.

i need manual for setup

i had the same problem with my sansui san0218-160 dvd recorder. i found the power supply board inside the case had failed, so i replaced two faulty capacitors on the power supply board and reassembled the recorder, it`s working like new again. hope this may be of some help.

Hey there Dante471, you can roll back the driver to it's original setting before the update. Control panel / Administrative tools / computer management / device manager / your dvd drive / driver / roll back driver. I suggest you shut down all other applications, and follow procedure with a restart. If further details are required or you need elaboration on method, let me know. Good Luck!

Try a lens-cleaning DVD. If the problem persists, the internal drive will probably have to be replaced.

The disk inside is most likely jammed. It would be best to take it to a repairman, or you can try to remove it your self.
