Hi all, I have an Apex Digital AD-1110WM. The symtoms are: The disc loads, it speeds up, then it slows down, speeds up again, then it displays: UNKNOWN DISC. This is with a factory disc. When I insert a home made movie, it keeps tracking back and forth and sounds like it has stripped gears. Again, it displays plays:UNKNOWN DISC. All esle seems to be functioning properly, including the Apex logo on screen and displays: NO DISC, when I don't load a disc into the unit. Can someone please let me know if this sounds familiar? Maybe someone has experienced the same symptoms and would be kind enough to share it with me. Thanks for your help in advance.

I openned mine up and found that the lens carrige was not in the fully retracted position. I pushed it all the way back to the back of the slide. Then I removed the two screws on either side of the spindle support so I could get to the lens. I hit the lens with some compressed air, plugged it in and loaded a disk and it worked like a champ. Listening to some Stevie Ray Vaughn right now!!! And going to watch some movies later. ;)

Good luck, I hope this helps someone.

hi,

Does it happen for all dvd disc or some particular dvd disc. If it is with some particular disc then clean the dvd and try them. If the problem exist for all the dvd then try to clean the lens by dvd lens cleaner and try to play. dvd lens cleaner will be available in dvd stores.

Thanks,
