LG HT503TH Theater System Logo
Posted on Feb 22, 2010

Hi everyone!! I have a problem with my DVD player. It´s an LG DVD Receiver HT305PH-DH. The DVD player is acting wierd. It won´t play some of my DVD movies. The picture gets all pixeled and the sound is lagging, the weird thing is that the dvd player can play some dvds, often older movies below 2007. The problem does not appear randomly, even on dvd-r discs. Also, some movies won´t even start, it just spitt out the dvd discs after a short time. I am 100% sure that there is nothing wrong with my DVD movies, I've already tried them on another dvd player. I've been trying to do a research on what is causing this. First i tried to Clean the dvd player with an Hama DVD disc cleaner. I tried it about 5 times with no results. Then, i´ve noticed that the dvd player was setup on region 2, so i made a multi region hack, LG5000.ZIP. I managed to change it, and the dvd could now play other region movies such as NTSC, but it didn´t fix the lagg problem. I've been talking to some friends of mine, and they said that it could have something to do with the DVD´s codecs, like some sort of a security shield on these movies that my dvd can´t read, and that some dvd players have to be updated or, hacked somehow to be able to read the discs. Is this true? Is it anything i can do to fix this problem? I would appreciate all the help i can get. These are some of my movie that i have tested: Transformers, (2007) pixeled and lagg PAL Transformers 2, (2009) wont run PAL Salo,(1976/2004) works great PAL The sinfull dwarf, (1060 dvd version unsure 2000) works great PAL Friday the 13th (2009), wont run PAL Pilosophy of the knife, (2008) pixeled and lagg NTSC Machine Girl, (2008) works great NTSC Cloverfield, (2007) works great PAL Léon, (1996 i think) DVD-R works great PAL Transformers Salvation, (2009) DVD-R wont run PAL Final Fantasy: Advent Children, (2004) works great PAL Biggie & Tupac, (2002) works great PAL As you can see, there is no structure here that shows why some movies works and some won´t, Although, The only thing that these movies have in common is that many of these movies is made by paramount pictures. but cloverfield is also a paramount movie. same year as transformers, 2007. So please, can someone help me with this? i want to at least try to fix this problem before i trash it. Cheers///Glesper

LG V181 DVD player/vcr combo doesn´t read de DVD´s

You need to go inside and clean the lens yourself with Servisol video 40. You might need to wipe it with a cotton bud etc. Allow it to dry before checking. Repeat it several times if it doesn't clear up first time.
PS check the lens for damage with a magnifiying glass! First!!

No sound when using 6 channel analog inputs

2 potential issues, first make sure the dvd player audio menu setup is set correct for 5.1 outputs, not DTS or Dolby Digital bitstream, can be difficult but read the user manual under sound options if possible, second be sure the receiver is set to act as the "amplifier only setting " i.e. DVD 6 channel input, maybe EXT IN , not sure what pioneers mode is, but all you need to follow is the dvd player is outputing 6 channel signal paths, and the receiver is acting as six amps, unless of couse you are using a subwoofer line out.
