Audiovox D1817 shows No Disk

I have the same problem! The only way to fix this is to replace the motor that spins the DVD. if you take it apart and spin the DVD the movie will play. The motor is just wore out and has no torque to start the play process. I am still looking for a replacement motor for it and haven't found anyone that carries the motor required. Only Audiovox so far and they want 180 to send in and fix.

I was going to see if you DVD player has a reset button on it but it isn't popping up on Audiovox website.

If you open up the player see if there is a reset button on it. Hold it down for about 5 seconds and see if that works.

Unplug power from the unit and remove the battery as well. Put them back in.

Try a different DVD in case its warped or damaged.

If those don't resolve the issue you should take it in and have someone look at it.

We bought this player almost 5 years ago, and have the same problem. When we called audiovox at the time they told us that it was because some of the dvd mnufacturers had changed the format/technology in which they recorded the dvd programs. The biggest problem was with the Disney dvd's. Also, that they did not have any software upgrades at that time to upgrade the player. We used it for a while with the hit and miss movies that it would play, and then finally shelved it and bought a minivan with a preinstalled dvd player. Very rarely use the audiovox now. I am surprised; however, that after 5 years they would still have the same problem and have still not yet upgraded the software in this player. Good luck.

It's a mechanical problem and the unit needs to be opened up and serviced by a repair shop.
