Picture rolls on DVD

Sounds like its in pal mode. With no dvd in it, go to menu and see if thats the case. Switch to another setting to see if that helps

Picture roll is caused by the frame rate being out of sync with the play back device. If the tape was recorded at say 25 f/m and is being played back at 26f/m. If you can, adjust the frame rate until the picture stands still.

Try this...

On your remote press the right direction button then 5,0,2,0 then press enter wait about 10 seconds and then picture should return.

Good Luck...

yes this is a simple fix,change the tv channel up 1 or down 1

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) being generated by you rDVD Player.

That, or you have the DVDs settings on PAL instead of NTSC.

the rolling picture is sync problem.
if the problem is in the VCR, it can be adjusted. if you don't know how to do it, then yu should bring it a repair shop.
if it in the DVD, then the cost can be high. (replacement of the DVD reader)

Somehow the TV setting on the DVD player was set to PALS so we changed it to the proper setting.

Check to be sure that the setup is correct. The picture you are describing is what happens when you play PAL into an NTSC unit. I don't think you are in PAL mode.

Same as sherpi here, player was fine, and all of sudden started rolling and never stops. Rolls with or without a disc in it...seems to play the discs fine, but never quits rolling.

Not likely. They probably just need to be cleaned and re-alligned. Rates vary, but our shop charges $20 to do that.
