Rumbling drive My DVD player "rumbles" at the beginning when playing a disc...for about 5 minutes. It then quietens down for most of the movie and then makes more noise at the end. It is as if it was out of balance, or running off center. The picture is OK at all times. There is no noise when playing CDs. Thank you for any help.

Does it do it with a CD in as well as no CD? It may be an iffy CD and the unit is having trouble accessing the track data. You do say with no disc, so my advice would be to remove the unit and have it serviced by an audio technician.

This can be dangerous. A friend of mine had a fire on his boat because the CD was running for hours, it overheated and caught fire. At least yours turns off.

Sounds like a half shaft. Reach around behind each wheel and see if there is play in the shaft that leads from the wheel to the transmission. There should be no play. Other possibility is a bearing hub. Jack up car, grab the tire at 9 and 3 o'clock. Shake wheel if there is movement not from the tie rod then it is the bearing hub.

Besides the Blu-ray drive, you also need a Blu-ray player software to play the Blu-ray disc. You can try Leawo Blu-ray Player which is a free program and a 4K player.

Firmware update will fix it go to the sharp website and download to flash drive

Simply install a DVD player separately or DVD Codec for Window's Media Player. The reason why Window's Media Player can not play the DVD movies is that it does not has a DVD codec to play it. The simplest solution to do it is to install a DVD Player program and Window's Media Player will start playing DVD movies.

Use a dvd cleaner and then try the movies. Hope this helps.

Might be the type of movie - some of them are only able to play "G" ratings. Try this: click <play> 1234 <play> It will likely unlock the dvd that is in and will begin to play. You will have to do the 'code' each time, or there's an unlock program you can purchase.

DVD movies have region codes, and they typically only play on a player or DVD-ROM drive sold in the country where the DVD movie was sold.

The actual region code is in one byte on the DVD (digital versatile disc). The DVD player or drive has a region code in its firmware. Personal computer DVD-ROM players often have the code in the software or MPEG-2 decoder. The two codes must match for the player or drive to play the movie. The code is also printed on the back of a DVD package, superimposed on a small image of the globe.

DVD regional locking is used to control which DVD movies play in which countries or groups of countries. Movies are often released on different dates around the world. Region 1 has its own player that will only play Region 1 discs. Likewise, Region 2 players can only play Region 2 discs and not play any of Region 1's discs. The six codes are:

1. United States and Canada
2. Europe and Japan
3. Southeast Asia
4. Latin America and Australia
5. Russia, rest of Asia and Africa
6. China

please check the DVD region code again and what PLAYER u are using to play on PC / LAPTOP??

where did you buy the DVD player??

replace the bigger IC of the module

What you're describing is a common problem for this particular unit, a bad spindle motor. In some cases the motor can be removed by the tech and torn down for cleaning.. But in a high percentage of cases shops just replace the motor... What's happening, as your symptom appears the spindle motor is beginning to spin irratically. In turn the picture can sometimes just drop out. In others it simply folds over and is unwatchable. The spindle motor is not too expensive.. Good Luck Bill
