Samsung sh895m plays some bought dvds but not others

Each DVD player is assigned a code for the region in which it's sold. For example USA/Canada are Region 1 players. DVD players will refuse to play discs not coded for its specific region. In effect, this means that a DVD purchased in one country is normally unreadable on a DVD player bought in another region.

If your rental DVDs work in the player then there is nothing wrong with your DVD player. If you have purchased DVDs that do not work the problem is with the DVDs you have, not with the DVD player.

You maybe able to get a region free code for your player from one of these WEB sites. www.dvdexploder.com/ www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks www.download-info.com/dvd/index_new.htm http://www.dvddemystifiziert.de/codefree_en/codefree.html

the dvds may be wrong format

Nothing went wrong but it require audio codecs to be installed your DVD drive must be having a CD with it which has nero burning softwares and other like nero show time and dvd codecs. Install this programe from the cd supplied with it. use power DVD etc. many softwares are there .dvd play back

To unlock the DVD code its defends upon what region you belongs or from were you bought the DVD unit. Just click this site to hack the region code ; http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks

To keep it simple, this means that DVD players and DVDs are labeled for operation on within a specific geographical region in the world. For example, the U.S. is in region 1. This means that all DVD players sold in the U.S. are made to region 1 specifications. As a result, region 1 players can only play region 1 discs. That's right, the DVDs themselves are encoded for a specific region. On the back of each DVD package, you will a find a region number (1 thru 6).
The geographical regions are as follows:
REGION 1 -- USA, Canada
REGION 2 -- Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
REGION 3 -- S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia
REGION 4 -- Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)
REGION 5 -- Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
REGION 6 -- China
REGION 7 -- Reserved for Unspecified Special Use
REGION 8 -- Reserved for Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc...
REGION 0 or REGION ALL -- Discs are uncoded and can be played Worldwide, however, PAL discs must be played in a PAL-compatible unit and NTSC discs must be played in an NTSC-compatible unit.

The end result is that DVDs encoded for regions other than Region 1 cannot be played on a region 1 DVD player, also, players marketed for other regions cannot play region 1-stamped DVDs

yes, you might have a smudge or so on the lends, or in your dvds, soemtimes when you have a smudge some dvds will play, but some wont, i do not know why, for sum reason it just does. but before you bought it you should have cosulted the buyer off ebay, and maybe it woudl be best to ask the seller for a refund, if not, you may replace the lens or reader and try again fro mthere. so it is in your hands now.

Did you finalize the disk? If not, this should solve your problem. When the disk is finalized you should be able to play it on your computer if you can play other DVDs on it. Some other DVD players can only play specific disks (i.e. DVD-R, DVD+R). This may be another problem.
