Together or seperately, each player does the same thing. You put in a dvd and it says loading disk... then after a while it just says no valid disk.
Tried different dvds, no good.

When a DVD goes into DVD player it has to spin it and read it. If your DVD player is not reading the disk. The disk could be dirty. The DVD player might need to be cleaned. You could be trying to play a PAL disk on a NTSC player or Visa Versa. or the region coding might be wrong. Try playing a clean disk that you have played in it before. That might tell you if you need to clean the DVD player.
it can't read the disk. clean the lens with a dvd/cd lens cleaner (walmart, radio shack, etc.). if you are technically inclined, you can remove the top, remove the transport top, and clean the lens with a soft lint-free cloth (or a q-tip) and rubbing alcohol. wipe the lens off gently and blow it dry. the alcohol will evaporate. put it together and try again. if it still doesn't work, you'll have to replace the entire optical pickup.
are the disks copys? are they badly scratched? if not you could try unplugging the player. take it apart and locate the lasor lens usually under a plastic plate held by two small screws? get a cotton bud and dip one end into isopropyl alchohol or meths and clean the lasor lens rubbing lightly in a circular motion then with the dry end of the bud wipe lightly the lens dry, put the set together and try a disk, if the above does not work a new lasor is needed,
depends upon your level of expertise. you will probably need a small philips screwdriver. put the screws in a small dish, if need be, take notes of how it goes back together. i have done this type of thing before, just take time and don't strip the screw heads.
This indicates that the DVD Player is unable to detect any disk inserted in the DVD Player Compartment. Check the player using a known playable DVD and Music CD. If these operate normally, the Disk is probably faulty. If the known disk does not play, clean the DVD Laser lens as detailed elsewhere in these FAQs and try again. If unsuccessful, check that the DVD LID is seating properly and latching in the fully closed position. If this does not work and the product is within the warranty period, simply return it to the retailer from where it was bought together with your receipt as proof of purchase. This is what I found about your unit. If it is under warranty, the best thing is to bring it in for repair or replacement. Disconnect the power from the source and hook back up. It may clear.
Most likely the dvd is dirty, scratched, or chipped. Try cleaning the dvd disk with a soft cloth (chamois works best). Look at the surface of the disk and if it is scratched lightly, dust and dirt particles, fingerprints, etc will cause refractions from the laser light in the dvd player, which is then read as an error by the dvd player. Cleaning it with a soft cloth will sometimes help.
If that does not work, hold the disk up towards a light source and look for light coming through from the other side. If this happens, the disk is unreadable and unrepairable as the data source has been corrupted.
