Disc player continues to run as if it was going to change discs. have to cut the power off and back on to get it to stop. It will not play discs.

Most multi disc players initialise by checking each compartment for a disc, checking it will focus and then, like Windows OS, knows if you want a specific disc or whether it is empty.
I would say, that was normal.

Load an other known good disc, and check. If it too do the same, the laser pickup unit to your player is faulty and should be replaced. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you

Does not play disc

1. No disc. - Load a disc into the tray.
2. Disc has been loaded upside down. Place the disc with the label side up.
3. Disc region code does not match region code of the player.
4. Disc type is not the correct type to play.
5. Disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc or try another.
6. Moisture may be condensed inside the unit. Remove the disc and the leave the power on for one or two hours.

I think the problem didn't come from the television.
Maybe the disc is too hard to play, this usually happen when we play an original CD or DVD.
Or your CD/DVD player already broken so it can't spin the disc.

Hope this help and RATE please !

When you get done recording, do you wait until the "TOC" light stops flashing? If you cut off power before the Table Of Contents is written, then it can't find all your music. Even if you eject, it should still flash a little red TOC or UPDATE before it spits the disc out. Check for that. okay?

I suggest changing media Use memoreX dvd-r and see if this helps this.

Your CD player thinks the CD is in Upside down. Basically it cannot read the disc. You need to run a CD laser Lens cleaner disc to hopefully get it back reading the Discs good again. Otherwise you will nee to take it apart and clean it all yourself manually.

There's no way you can continue the finalization of the disc, the disc has been marked as finalized already, even a single power fluctuation when you are using ac power adaptor can affect the disc finalizing process, so it is better to use battery when disc finalizing
