My Memorex won't play DVDs, it only shows "wrong disc."

I've had this happen to me. Did you make sure it's all screwed in and the disk reader is there as well and working

Check ur DVD discs lables said NTSC signal format this format can play only on DVD players was bought in the US,Canada or Mexico.The PAL signal format Discs this format can only play with DVD players that bought in European,Asia,Middle East or African countries.

In order for you to make the unit read home movies, you haveto make sure the AVI files are being converted to a DVD format. If the video isnot transcoded to that format, the player will not recognize the disc. You willneed to use a burning application that converts the files prior to burning it,or get software that converts files to DVD and then burns it to a disc.

The machine is simply not compatible with the disks that you are using. Happens.

Sounds like a build up of dust on the lens.

2 options -

Either buy a DVD lens cleaner

Note DVD LENS cleaner, NOT DVD Cleaner the latter is for the discs, not the player

or second option is to remove lid from your player (usually 5 or 6 screws) and gently swab the lens with a cotton bud or similar soft lint free product. Try not to push too hard on the lens or you may damage the mechanism.

The lens is really obvious as it faces upwards and looks like a small round clear glass bead.

Make sure its unplugged too!

this brand and model should be able to play the discs you mentioned witih no problems, unless it is defective, or a error is being made when you are recording the discs. If you are recording and they ar enot playing, most likely you are not "finalizing" the discs durring the burn processs. All discs MUST BE finalized to be played on any dvd player.

all dvd recorders are very very sensitive when comes to which disc is fed to them......you say sony is the same as memorex is the speed the same 4x-16x, may i also suggest maxell, dynex and vertabram

check your compatability specs on the player then see what format your dvd is in/clean lenses with eye glass wipes

Sorry, you need a different DVD player. That kind won't eccept DVDs that have self-recorded stuff on it.

it could be the disc that is causing the problem try some other disc and see what it does.good luck.
