SONY SLV-D350P DVD/VCR Combo:

When disc is loaded, "Loading" is displayed on monitor, and disc spins for about a minute. Disc stops spinning and "Stop"...then "Error" is displayed
on DVD display. Message window says: "This Disc cannot be played...Check Disc." Tried another good known disc with same results. Also cleaned Laser Lens with special cloth. Unit is about 3 years old, and randomly developed this problem without warning.

A similar problem occurs on my machine. It will record OK but when finalizing it errors after a few minutes and renders the disk unusable and unreadable. The unit is only 6 mo. old but has several hundred hours of record time. I will be sending it back to the factory for warranty repair.

Why would a practically new laser go bad? I can see it being bad out of the box - stuff happens. But the laser should not go bad after only 10 or 20 hours of use, or even 100 hours!

I had the same issue with this DVD player. I noticed the problem after running the firmware upgrade. I could do nothing to fix the problem and neither could the Phillips support line. Luckily I purchased an extended warranty, too bad the player went out before it kicked in. The one 1yr Phillips manufactures warranty had to replace the unit with a new upgraded model.

Thanks, I can hear the disk spin. It also makes a knocking sound every 5 seconds while it tries to finalize until it errors and then stops. It's very quiet when just recording. I was thinking the spindle had worn down enough to cause the disk to not spin true anymore but I didn't think about the laser going bad. If it wasn't under warranty I would open it up and see for myself.
