ALL of a sudden dvd player does not play any disc and comes up with ( PAL DISC ) message on screen every time we put a dvd to play

get a dvd cleaner disk. it realigns the laser and cleans the laser lens. clean the dvd compartment with a dry cloth

Check ur DVD disc have scratches or cracks that the laser head can't read.Tries to wash the disc with dish washing soap to get clean surface to leaser head to read.Use other Disc see it have same probblems?Check the region of the disc is on the lable like NTSC or PAL.Euroupe and Asia run only in PAL. U.S.Canada,Mexico run on NTSC.

Have you ensured that the dvd player settings are set to pal and that if the disc in use is an ntsc disc that the dvd is set to ouput pal60 or pseudo pal

Buy a cleaning disc for about $15.00. If that doesn't work it's time to buy a new one.

There are probably a few problems here. What are you using to play the disc? Some NTSC players will "play" a PAL disc but interpret it as NTSC with the symptom you are describing. You need a DVD player that will play PAL. Many of those will output NTSC directly when set up to do so. The other alternative is to have a PAL compatible player that will output PAL into the converter. To narrow this down specifically, please post the model numbers and the connection scheme for your equipment. Once I understand your current setup, I should be able to describe a method to get this to work for you.

I had this same problem with my Apex AD-500W DVD Player. I decided since everyone said the player basically needed to be replaced it wouldn't hurt to go through the buttons on the remote just to try and figure it out......I DID!!!! I turned on my DVD Player, inserted a disc, turned on my tv and then hit the SYSTEM Button right below the power button until the screen said MULTI and the machine started working perfectly. There are 3 settings in that button, PAL which made my screen go crazy, NTSC ( i have no clue) and MULTI(this one made it work)! Hope it also works for all of you!!!

on the back is a seitch labelled ntsc/pal. flick it the other way might fix it

I have a problem like this but mine will play regular dvd's
and just stop playing hd dvd's . exact same message

Turn unit power on

hidden menu appears
select REGION 0
exit setup
for multi zone compatibility and enjoy...

Have you tryed to use a lens cleaning disc yet. The laser lens on these players and recorders alike, must have the lens cleaned every oince in awhile. If that does not help, most likly you have a bad laser pickup assembly and you will need to replace the plaer as to have that repaiered, you could buy a new unit. Good Luck
