Problem getting cd or dvd to be recognized as loaded

You have put a dirty CD in and now the laser lenses is dirty and cant read the finer details of a DVD.It needs a clean.

Either the reading head on the laser is dirty or bad and it is not recognizing the CD. If it is a homemade CD there might be a formatting problem that is not compatible with your player

Hi,
Does it do with original DVD or copied DVD ?.
if the original one works fine but the others not, your DVD may not capable of playing copy -R/RW discs..even though your DVD specs says: Plays DVD-Video, video-mode DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, CD-R/CD-RW, MP3 CD, Kodak Picture CD, and JPEG image CDs, sometimes this happens due to bad recording of DVD .Try to use better recorded DVD or if possible use the original ones..
Thanks in advance for rating me..Regards

your dvd are not recognized your cd

the dvd player is not working and needs to be replaced

Hello I was looking to try and help you with your DVD player, we will start by loading a music cd store purchased, no burned cds please, if the cd loads and plays then your dvd player is either out of adjustment or going bad, most dvd players, i have worked on, will load and play a music cd, but will show loading errors when trying DVD's. If the music cd dosen't load then there could be an issue with the drive or tray. If the music cd plays just fine, then your laser is either out of adjustment or going bad. You can call the manufacuter to see if there is a process for resetting the DVD player, not all DVD players have this option, if resetting the DVD player dosen't work, but music cd's do then your laser lens is dirty or going bad. At this point you have three options 1) Take it to a repair shop, 2) Get an new one, 3) Get your hands dirty if your really handy and know what your doing to clean and replace the laser. I hope I can be of further assitance and I look forward to helping in the future, Thank You and have a nice day.

What are you trying to do. Install a cd/dvd drive?

My dvd player tries to load dvd, then says Cannot Read Disk. Have tried different disks.

Clean the drive with a cd/dvd cleaner. Sounds like the read optics are a little drity.
