Finding lense I've got some good advise about cleaning my lense on my DVD player with cotton swab. I'd like to know where exactly is the lense and how would I do this, and also I'm don't know what the IC is.

sounds like the laser is out of synk with the encoders inside the player, to fis this you will need to disconnect everything from it, unscrew it and carefully move the lase all the way to the outside of its track, BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE LENSE WITH YOUR FINGER, you may also wish to clean the lense while you are in there anyway. To do this dip a cotton swab in Isopropyl alcohol (the kind you use for cuts and scrapes), and roll the tip accross the lense of the laser, just let it air dry. Reassemble the player and it sould be good to go.

The laser lens may need to be cleaned with rubbing alcohol and cotton swab. Just remove the cover of the player and clean the lens. This usually corrects the problem. If cleaning doesn't help, the laser is defective

You can try resetting the setting to the factory specifications. To do this on your remote push the setup button. Use the up and down arrows to find highlight preferences. Press ok to enter the sub-menu. Once in the sub-menu use the up and down arrows to find default. highlight this and press ok. Then press the setup button to exit. This will restore the factory setting and hopefully the full use of your player. If this fails to restore the operation of you dvd player, you can try using a lens cleaner and see if the dvd compartment needs cleaning. You can do this with a can of compressed air. If you need to clean the dvd lense use a cotton swab and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol.Apply a small amount of the alcohol to the tip of the swab and gently rub it back and forth until the lense looks bright and shines. Use the other end of the swab to dry excess moisture from the lense. Also check the transport and see if it needs to have dust and debris from the tracks or gears removed. Use the same process with cotton swabs a small amounts of alcohol to clean it up. Once clean try playing a dvd. It should work fine. If not you may have another problem with the lense or motor. You can call Phillips customer support at this telephone number. 1-888-744-5477 they will be able to help you with getting service for you dvd player. I hope this information help you with your problem.

Judging from product reviews it seems that this is a fairly unreliable unit. About the only thing you can do to possibly improve performance is to clean the laser lense. There are commercially available cleaners for CD/DVD players. The best way to clean the lense is to disassemble the unit and use a cotton swab with alcohol. This may be difficult for someone who doesn't have experience disassembling electronic devices.

Your DVD player is about to break completely. The disk is spinning too slow at times. I currently have a similar problem and have not yet determined if the motor is bad or the chip that drives the motor or the main processor chip. There is a slight possiblity that a poor power supply is at fault. Because of the high cost of repair it's probably not worth repair. Oh yes, one other possibility is the lens that reads the DVD may be dirty. You can try to clean it and see if it helps, Use a cotton swab with alcohol (not the kind you drink) and gently wipe the plastic lens the dry it with the dry end of the swab. Look closely to make sure you don't leave any cotton behind. You only need a little alcohol. Don't over due it. Good luck,

There should be a problem in dvd reader the lense or check the dvd and dvd player that run's such kind of DVD's or not if not you must insert the card that supports such typeof DVD's

Use the up and down arrows to highlight the preference option. Press ok and enter the sub-menu. Use the up and down arrows to highlight the default option and press ok.This will reset the DVD player to the factory specifications. If this does not work for you . Try cleaning the DVD lense with a cotton swab and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Put a small amount of alcohol on the tip of swab and rub it back and forth gently across the lense, until it appears bright and shines. Also check the laser transport and see if it need cleaning of the dust and debris that can accumulate in the in the
dvd compartment. Use cotton swabs with small amounts of alcohol to clean the transport rails and gears.Check to make sure the action of the transport is not impeded by any dust or debris. Also check the gears and make sure they are clean and look in good working order. After doing all this take a can of compressed air and blow all the dust and debis from the dvd compartment. Try playing a cd or dvd and see if the palyer is working properly. If not check the spindle and make sure it is snug and working correctly, holding the dvd correctly for the laser to read it. If it feels loose try using a drop of super glue to make it snug again.Try playing a cd or dvd and see if the player works correctly. If not then you probably are having a problem with the laser lense itself or the motor drive. They may have lost the ability to run under specifications due to useage or ageing. For these problems you should call Phillips Customer support at 1-888-744-5477. Give them the modle number of your dvd player and the problem you are having with it not being able to read discs. They will be able to tell you how to have it serviced and repaired. I hope this information helps you with your problem.

Hi Could be bad spin motor, but the first thing to try is load the cd and put your ear to the unit and listen for a ticking sound...if there is, then the laser is trying to focus. If not ticking, there is likely a serious problem, and the whole unit should be replaced. If you hear the lense bouncing up and down, then it is likely a dirty lense or bad laser. To clean it, use a cotton swab and wet the end with at least 70% USP rubbing alchohol(99% better). Touch the swab to the lense and a drop should form on the lense, gently move the drop around to loosen any debris, and then use a dry swab and touch it to the lense to absorb the drop. Try the unit, and if it was dirt on the lense, it should work, if not the boombox should probably be replaced. Good Luck!

problem no disc when this is a disc in the player
