I was copying a VHS tape to DVD and the player suddenly stoped working. Ever since that the VHS works just fine, it will still play CDs, but it will not read DVDs. When a disc is inserted, it says "Reading" for quite a while, then ejects the disc and says "Unknown disc, check disc again". It does this with both purchased DVDs and DVDs that I had previously burnt on the same player. I thought this was odd because it still plays CDs, which leads me to believe it is not a problem with the lens. I have not tried to resolve the problem in any way other than using compressed air to try and blow off the lens, which made no difference. Please help.

The answers given say download Firmware updates, but I cannot find them!!
Everywhere I go it offers the same solution, but when I type in Firmware
updates, all I get is for PC, not my VCR/ DVD combo. How do I actually get to the Firmware update and download?
Yes I have experienced the same problem musical CDs play but all DVDs will not play. I thought if I reset to factory settings that I might get some action but that has failed. My VCR works fine
please help
I have the same issues as Atom's. I had put a DVD-RW into the recorder. It prompt me to initialize. I selected the VR mode and it went through the process of initializing. Upon completion, I could not get any respond from the remote, so I ejected the DVD-RW. After this, I put it back into the recorder but is kept saying "unknow disc". I tried every DVD I have but wouldn't work. It would only play CDs. I reset the system but it still would not work.
After inserting dvd. I get reading disc and then it ejects dvd and gives 'disc error' message. The vcr works and the dvd works on some dvd's.
