Pioneer DVD XV DV515 will only play DVD's irregularly. Sometimes, by continually opening and closing the DVD tray, it does work but not guaranteed.The DVD's will work immediately in other units.The player is cleaned regularly. It is extremely frustrating!!Do you have any suggestions?
Could be a dirty lens on the laser pickup. A disc cleaner won't do the job and you'd probably have to take it apart and do it manually.
Better idea is you can get a new Blu Ray player for next to nothing these days.

unplug it and try it again, if that doesn't work see if theres a pin hole where you can push a paper clip in by the tray area.

This is a common problem for this model. It has a memory IC that must be replaced. This is a surface mounted IC that requires exceptional soldering skills to replace. I work at an authorized Pioneer service center and have repaired a good number of these for this exact problem. Unless you have great soldering skills it is not something that should be attempted to do yourself, it can cause permanent damage to the board if not done perfectly.
If you have the proper skills and soldering equipment I will be happy to give you the Pioneer part number so you can replace it yourself. If not, then you really should just take it to a service center and have a professional do this.
Let me know if you would like that part number.

I have the same problem. I just want the damned thing to return my precious audio CD. I can hear a motor trying to open the tray, but something seems to be mechanically jammed.
