I have a RCA DRC-285 DVD Player, the problem is, I was playing a DVD+R and it suddenly went green/ distorted and and froze. I attempted to eject the DVD and NONE of the buttons on the unit or the remote would respond. I tried to power down the unit but the power button wouldn't work. So, I unplugged the unit for about an hour and plugged it back in. I used a different disk but the same problem occured. Could this problem be caused by DVD+R disks..if not what is it?
Hi, 2 things usually cause this kind of behaviour 1-the dvd+r have been burnt at a high speed 2-the dvd player itself is a bit old when you burn your dvd+R always burn them at a lower speed lowest if possible it'll take longer but it's well worth it and you wouldn't have a problem playing them back

The unit is actually pretty new (two months) and the problem still occurs with a pre-recorded DVD. I checked it again today. It will play for a few minutes there is a high pitched squeel and the distortion/ green sceen freeze comes about. Then the unit stops responding.
when you power the unit up the dvd drive motor turns on and will not stop. all controls have no effect.there is no dvd in unit
