CD won't play

Maybe the lasers ok but the disc motor is not spinning the disc.

Possibly the laser lens is not reading the cd. check closely to see if it's black. If it is, lens is burnt. ER means error

I HAVE AN OLDER HITACHI 53" PROJECTION TV THAT IS BLURRY IN THE UPPER RIGHT AND LOWER LEFT CORNERS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE TEXT IS OVER LAPED WHEN PLAYING MY PS3. IT MAKES IT HARD TO READ. THERE IS NOT ANY PROBLEM WITH COLOR, JUST BLURRY. HOW CAN I FIX

your blue ray player is broken you have to send it back to sony if you have warrenty its free but if you dont its $150

You need to force the player to the the Top Menu of the disc.
The way to do this is: load disc, wait until it says "Reading Completed" (about 1 minute).

Wait for the PLAY icon ">" to show in the upper right corner (this may take up to 30-40 secs).

Once you see the ">" Hit the STOP button on the remote to get to the player's splash screen.

From the Sharp splash screen Hit the "Top Menu/Title List" button on the remote and wait for the circulating dots and then the disc menu appears.
Play the movie from the menu and you should be good to go.

Here is the service manual for it: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/992989/Marantz-Dr4050.html

you can try manually cleaning the laser lens ( gently wipe , do not press down hard , it is suspended by fine wires ) using a q-tip and a drop of that cleaning solution you got with the laser lens disc. ( fluff another q-tip a little ) then dry wipe it with another q-tip and try a disc.
you can look at the laser lens and see if you see the laser come on also to determine if that is working ( do not look directly into the laser ! )
if the laser works but it still does not read discs after cleaning it manually , then there is a problem with the focus coil on the laser or the signal board is bad

i would say for some reason your dvd player is not compatible from now on with that brand of blank dvd!


get the firmware update from the brand website all you do is download the file burnit on a cd and put it in the dvd player should fix most and eventual problems

Is that CD Player or DWD player????

Look for dust, dirt or foreign object on the laser lens under where you put the disc in. Maybe blow some clean air on it.
