DVD player will not play Disney made movies

New home theater system will play all of my DVDs except those from Disney ie BOLT. The manual does not list where to find the password to reset the parental controls so I can't even try that.

    These are standard DVDs. I had this problem with another player and was able to fix it by resetting the parental controls. The problem is that I can't find the password that was programmed into the unit.

I don't know what BOLT is, as I fixed my last DVD player 6 years ago at Sony. I think the Disney Format is Newer than your DVD player can read.

I remember Sony had a $5000.00 when new DVD player that was the first generation of DVD's. We would get them in for repair and the guy would say "My Radio Shack $99.00 plays all my DVD's but this $5K FIVE YEAR OLD unit won't play them....

There was NO fix for the problem. The New DVD's were beyond the capability of the 5 year old unit.

SO.. Is the Disney DVD a Blue Ray Disk? Or a new format that your older DVD can't read?

    I know there was a way to reset the Sony DVD to Factory Spec and it would remove the password during the reset process.



    I don't know the reset process for your unit. A Circuit City or Best Buy salesmen might know the procedure. It will be something like holding down 2 keys while turning on the power.



    Sorry I couldn't be of any better help.

On one particular DVD (UP from Disney/Pixar) a certain section keeps repeating. When I stop the DVD to try accessing the root menu it freezes up and the entire sound bar locks. The only way to resolve this...

Those discs have a very strong copy protection mechanism to avoid making digital copies on PC systems but some DVD players won't play them because of that, if you have the original movie, download a copy from the internet, burn it to a dvd-r disc and play it. It's perfectly legal because you already bought the movie. The downloaded copies have no copy protection and will play better than the original.
The PHILIPS DVD-Home theater players are specially picky about non-standar disk like the one you're trying to watch.

No Disc

The drive needs repairs, or replacement. Check your warranty you may still have it and in that case you will most likely get free repairs.

Dvd player wont play movies recorded by my friends. what is the problem?

Not all DVD players can play DVDR or DVDRW discs (writable DVDs) these players are however very inexpensive. Usually the ones that say they will play windows media file will work, but not always. See if you can find one that says it will play DVDR or DVDRW discs.

All dvds skips evan brand new ones

Return the unit to the store which you purchased it from. You have an internal problem with the scanner (led) You can first try to clean the led this could be your problem. They sell lens cleaning dvd disks. try it, you have nothing to loose. If this does not work, just bring it back.
