Question about TruTech PVS31170S1W 17 in. LCD Television
If the disk is not spinning in the drive, and a invalid disk message appears, remove the disk and unplug electrical socket. Open the DVD tray and remove the disk. Locate the lens within the tray. You should notice that it is on a small tab that moves left and right. Its default position is to the right, near where you clip in the center of the DVD. If it is all the way to the right, it is stuck. Find a small screwdriver, or something equivalent, and GENTLY pry the tab loose. DO NOT touch the lens, or pry near the lens, this may damage the player. Brace the other end of the loading tray while you're prying because it may require more force than you think. Keep in mind, this was the solution for me while the disk was NOT spinning and reading an invalid disk message. I'm currently stuck on that problem.

I tried abc12345678's solution and nothing happened. I repeated it next with power ON, slideing the lens/tab assembly all the way to the right, then all the way to the left. Then I put in the DVD and closed the door, and it worked.
Clearly, the lens assembly had gotten stuck on its track. (This might have been related to the food my two-year-old left on the DVD.) Resetting it ALL THE WAY BACK to its default position on the left, where the outer edge of the disc would be, was necessary to get the spindle spinning.

We had the same problem but if I stood at the TV and pushed the DVD player in it would play. The last thing I wanted to do was hold the DVD player in the whole time!
We had recently put it on a wall mount and although it was mounted level I think that mounting it was our problem. Once we took it down and put it back on it's stand it has been working consistently (no need to hold it in and no other problems).
I hope this helps for some of you as it has helped us and eliminated much frustration!

Hi,
Most DVD players that would display such a message even with
a known good disc inside signifies that the that the laser eye/lens is
not reading the disc. This could probably be attributed to:
1. dirty, damaged, inverted, blank, un-finalized burned CDs or DVDs;
2. defective, weak, dirty/dusty burned-out laser eye/lens;
3. defective slider shafting (where the laser eye's carriage moves) or some other components.
A few things you can try:
1. Use a CD cleaner (readily available from most computer shops);
2. use a can of compressed air and blow through the inside of the loaded disc area;
3. gently tap on the top cover where you estimate the reading/laser eye/lens would be;
4. gently press on the tray door once the disc is loaded.
Should
this not be corrective, perhaps your best bet would be to seek the
services of a qualified professional such as those in a Service Center.
Alternately, your friendly neighborhood electronic shop should do just
fine.
Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kindest regards.

DVD player is not working, when a disc is inserted it says NO DISC. Please help, email me.
The DVD player is not reading the disk. When it does read a dvd it skips through the movie or freezes, it is driving me crazy and i am not sure what to do. I'm not able to enjoy movies. I bought the t.v. less then a year ago, should it really be having all these troubles when it is not even a year old?
NO VALID disk appears when I try to play a DVD. Called TruTech Support and since my unit was purchased in December 2007; it is under warranty and needs to be mailed to Buffalo for repair or replacement. Ir will take 4 - 8 weeks for this process. No solution yet?????
My units DVD player will not spin and reads invalid disk, the unit is less than a year old any trouble shooting recomendations.
Dvd player is not working reads no valid disc,purchased January 2008 it is now July 2008.
