Question about JVC THC5 Home Theater System with 5-Disc DVD Changer System

Disc tray and playback problems

My JCV TH-C5 system is not ejecting the individual disc trays, and it will not play the DVDs and CDs that are in there either. The only response I get when I press a command is a mild buzzing noise, as if the system is trying to respond to the command, but cannot proceed, and then the buzzing noise stops (which lasts for about 6-7 seconds). I have already locked and unlocked the disc tray ejection, as a form of resetting, but witnessed no change.

This problem is caused by the "worned out" rubber band that enable the mutiple trays to rotate.Hence, the disc is not able to be detected and played by the system. Remove the system cover, take a look inside at the rotational axis part and replace the "rubber band" that loses it elasticity.

Unplug the unit for 12 to 24 hours. if that doesnt work, take apart the unit and manually clean the lens on the laser assy with a cotton swab and a little alcohol. Dry it off with the dry end of the swab and see if that helps. if it does not help, your going to need to take the unit in to be looked at.

Does not play when disc entered nor when play is selected. (XD-E500KB)

Hello

Push in the plug connected to the "Video Out" jack on the rear of the Dvd to ensure it is connected firmly. Check the connection at the back of the TV as well.

Press the "Source" or "Input" button on the TV remote to verify the television's input is set to the DVD connection.

Press the "open/close" button on the front of the DVD to open the disc tray. Insert and test different DVDs to determine if the problem is with a specific disc, or if the player will not operate.

Eject the DVD tray and insert the DVD laser lens cleaner. Close the tray and wait a few seconds for the cleaning disc to load. Press "Play" on the front control panel to spin the disc through the cleaning cycle.

Remove the cleaning disc, insert a DVD and test playback operation. If the machine still will not play discs, the main receiver unit may require internal repairs best left to an experienced technician.

It seems that the dvd player is jammed. Cant get dvds out or in. Wont play. Is there some kind of reset or something I can do to fix it. Thanks

its very common for 1 of those 5 trays to get stuck in the unit usually with a disc as well --you will have to manually go in while its unplugged elevate the tray by spinning 1 of the 2 large gears near the front of the mech and reseat the tray

Wont play dvds, only cds, music and photos when dvd placed in tray, goes through reading process, then ejects tray with an on screen message, unknown disc! With all discs not a certain few. when a blank...

DVD & CD use different wavelengths for the read head. I suspect that the blue laser is out of alignment or otherwise in need of repair.

PhotoCD is a format.

Tempremental playing dvds

In response to your jvc-a75r DVD player, sometimes the solution might be less complex than it may appear. Had the same problem with my Samsung s321,the machine refused to read DVD's but would play CD's no problem. Simply opened up the cover(usually)4-6 small screws, and found my dog's hair inside of the player covering the laser eye.Electrostatic ionization attracts dust,etc. into the player remarkably well sometimes. Carefully used a cotton swap to remove debri. PLayerworked fine afterwards ...Good luck!
