Top 20 Spectroniq PDV-70X - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Tried inserting a cd with music or mp3s? If a cd will play and not a dvd it may be a country code problem.

Does it have a plastic latching mechanism that may be broken? Does it operate when the cover is held closed or will the cover not move into the closed position, or does it move into the closed position and just not stay shut?

Question edited a bit for clarity. All questions need 'make model (what it is)', and we aren't told what type of Spectroniq device you have. I am only seeing portable DVD players and a home theatre system. None of those take Netflix. https://www.google.com/search?q=Spectroniq ..

go into settings, click tuning, zone ,analog or digital, click start, will download channels if present.

There really should be something on it identifying the make and model - check the underneath. Assuming you;ve tried various discs to eliminate chance its just a dodgy disc, it will be the lens either dirty or misaligned, I think. If you bought it new it shouldn't be dirty. If you bought it from a store either new or used you should just take it back. You can get lens cleaners from places like WIlkinsons and Debenhams for under $10 but I cant recommend them too strongly - bit hit and miss in my experience. If cleaning doesn't work it will likely be a repair job or bin it - it wont be anything to do with settings or that you're doing anything wrong (unless putting the disc in upside down or something!), so unless a lens cleaner works, you're only option would be to have it repaired. If you knew make and model you might find diy repair instructions on internet but I'd suggest unless you're quite handy it's not easy. I have had a number of cheap dvd players over the years and it does seem to be an area where you get what you pay for - they've generally been unreliable and in some cases had an extremely short life.

Could it be the wrong type of disc or a disc that has been produced on a computer and not finalised or maybe a dirty laser/faulty disc motor?

Note that you should plug the A/V out of the tv to the A/V in of the recorder. Please tell me whats the make and model of the tv and the recorder so that I can suggest the best way to do it

Do an internet search on the make & model TV for a manual.

Hi,

Before ordering a replacement remote make sure you have followed the troubleshooting steps provided in the manual, mainly:

1. Make sure the batteries are new and inserted and oriented properly.
2. Check whether any button is stuck.
3. Remove any obstacle between TV and remote.
4. Bring the remote closer to the TV.
5. Turn the TV off then on from the power button on the front of the LCD.

If you have tried these but still the remote does not work, there is a good chance it can be repaired. It can be as simple as a bad solder joint particularly where the batteries are inserted and/or a faulty IR LED. The LED is what emits the signals and is located in the center, front of the remote.

To check the IR LED, view the remote through a digital camera's LCD (you can use a mobile camera-phone) while pressing a button on the remote. The IR signals emitted cannot be perceived by the human eye but the camera will see it glowing. If it doesn't then its probably faulty.

After making sure the remote is the culprit, call on 1-888-257-8899 and ask them for a replacement remote.

Check your cables going from your DVD player to your TV to make sure everything is plugged in all the way and correctly. If the problem continues try a DVD that you know works and is a color movie and see how it plays.

Hi,
Symptom shows it is power supply board that need to be replaced in Spectroniq PLTV-3250 TV.
Click Shop Jimmy that has power supply board in stock for $94
Power supply board replacement is not so difficult work and if you are not comfortable with it, call local TV tech for board replacement.
Thanks.

I don't know what BOLT is, as I fixed my last DVD player 6 years ago at Sony. I think the Disney Format is Newer than your DVD player can read.

I remember Sony had a $5000.00 when new DVD player that was the first generation of DVD's. We would get them in for repair and the guy would say "My Radio Shack $99.00 plays all my DVD's but this $5K FIVE YEAR OLD unit won't play them....

There was NO fix for the problem. The New DVD's were beyond the capability of the 5 year old unit.

SO.. Is the Disney DVD a Blue Ray Disk? Or a new format that your older DVD can't read?
