Have a coby dvd r-1200 ,go to systems apply

Hello
you haven't mentioned about whether it plays CDs. if it plays CDs without any problem, and only DVD play does not. the fault is with its Laser Pickup Unit. ther is no repair to this unit, as it can only be replaced with same type and number. Insist on same type and number. Never make a comprmise. OK.

Hi, it is may just a lens clean up,
try to clean it whit a q tips and wood alcool
wipe the lens gently to dont apply to much pressure on the lens.
hope that will help

Unlock Coby DVD-298

Open DVD tray
Press 9735
This will bring up a menu to change the region code, after changing the code, go to exit menu.

Hope it helped.

Try going to the menu, it seem like the dvd is set to another system, eg like pal system which is used on european countries. We use ntsc system in the united states.

Laserunit defect.

With remote control and player stopped,
press setup, vol+, vol-, vol+, vol-
Use arrow keys to select region 1-6 or 255 for all region.
Numbers appear on TV screen.
Press setup again to save and exit

Try this to make it multiregion. It should work.

Coby dvd plays background music and all previews( music and voices ) but the actual movie we cannot hear voices only back voices and music can be heard.

itsmylife70, hello.

Two things, Laser gone low and can't read dvd. Just try cleaning the collimating lens with a cotton swab and glass cleaner. gently wet one end and dry residue with the other end.
The other thing is could be just a mutilated loom (flex) cable connecting the laser from the main pcb board. Laser is most likely gone bad.

Good luck.
