One simple solution is to unplug the unit for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Worked like a charm for me.

I brought my dvd player to the Toshiba repair center. To be continued...

Do a hard reset. Unplug it from the socket, the DVD and leave disconnected for 4 hours. This may or may not help, but it is a necessary step to restore all internal software codes to their factory settings.


Hope this may help;

Have you tried unplugging the player completly for 2 minutes? Plug it back in and try again. Also, you could try a new remote code or just replacing the system. P.S. some players have a cap/switch or button that needs to be removed or pushed in order to accept input.
