Dvd cleaning Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. I will try. You suggested putting rubbing alcohol on que tips  then cleaning the capsten. What are que tips? are they like cotton buds for cleaning ears? Is the capsten the largest round wheel thing, which is silver on my camera,  or the round rod with a sort of black rubber coat? thanks Valley

I suggest trying the maxell cleaner you have but wipe some rubbing alcohol on the brush first.
If that doesn't work, you have to open up the unit, and GENTLY clean the lens with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol being sure to dry the lens after with the other end of the q-tip.

Did you try removing batteries to see if it clears error?
this is first thing to do.

the dvd disk won't stay in the tv magnavox with dvd player?? you mean it not play...

Kindly explain please...

Thanks

First thing-- try a disc drive cleaner (available at electronics stores) OR if you can see the laser lens when you open the tray you can clean it with a Que-tip and some rubbing alcohol.
If that doesn't work, let me know.

Try cleaning the laser lens with a either a special cleaner from an electronics store, or a Que-tip with some rubbing alcohol.

Sounds like the drive isn't quite able to read the disk. I recommend cleaning the laser lens with a Que-tip and rubbing alcohol. That might require taking it apart to get at the lens. Otherwise I think there are special disk shaped cleaning devices you can buy at like Radio Shack that can also do the trick.

Try cleaning the laser lens that reads the discs with a Que-tip and some rubbing alcohol.

Sounds you need to clean the laser lens. If you can get at it, you can use a Que-tip and rubbing alcohol. If not, buy a disc cleaner at an electronics store

clean the lens with a dvd/cd lens cleaner (walmart, radio shack, etc.). or if you're feeling adventurous, remove the top, remove the dvd shuttle cover, and clean the lens with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol. wip it off gently ad blow it dry with your mouth (as opposed to a hair dryer). the alcohol will evaporate. put it together and try it out. if it still doesn't read, you may need to replace the optical pickup (lens and motor).

Open up the console and open up the CD Drive. Clean the lens of the CD Drive with some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. Then put the console back together.
