    you have to take the box apart and put one of the springs that is connected to the tray mechanism back in its place, it is probably floating around in there somewhere, or it its broken you will have to replace it, i would suggest finding an old or broken dvd player taking it apart and grabbing one of the many springs that will be in there.

If you really like the unit (disregarding the DVD player issues), maybe you could buy a GOOD stand-alone DVD or BluRay player and be ready for an upgrade in the electronics when the bug bites.

Samsung BD-P1500 Plays Blu Ray but not DVD's

Nope. The laser mechanism seems to have developed a preference of its won and refuses to work with DVD media.
You have already done a firmware update so that is ng. Could be that when you updated it to play newer blue rays, the update messed up unit for dvd playback. Happens.

But do not sweat - that unit has a one year warranty - use it.

I am in NZ and have philips 616K dvd player. Have some dvd's origin UK that wont play on my dvd. Comes up wrong region. My daughter also in NZ has played these dvds in NZ but not sure what brand dvd she...

Changing the region code for DVD616K :

1. Press OPEN/CLOSE, and wait for the tray to open.

2. Use the remote control to input digital key '1', '1', '1', 'l' in that
order.
Kindly leave a few seconds between each entry, the microprocessor is slow
with these entries.
3. Press number '7', '8' or '9' to display the current region code of the DVD
player.
OR
4. Press any number of '0' to '6' to set the required region code. The OSD
will display the new region code of the DVD player.
5. Region '0' will be the setting for multi region
6. The region setting will be saved in the FLASH memory.
7. Press OPEN/CLOSE again, the DVD player will return to normal operation.

I just bought a dvd player " all region" model DVP5140/37 but I have an italian region 2 and this dvd wont play it. i EVEN HAVE A REGION 4 DVD AND IT WONT PLAY THAT EITHER.what can I do, is...

You might not have the multi-region version of this dvd player, they do make them, but cost more. You might have the regular version. Someone posted the instructions on Amazon to make it region free.

To make it region code free follow these instruction:
1. Turn on the unit
2. Open the loading tray
3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote
4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key
6. Press the down arrow once to enter the Preference page
5. Enter 138931 on the remote
6. You will now see the current region code displayed
7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions
8. Press the "Play" button on the remote

A piece of junk dvd player I just bought

Here's the support site with contact information. When you say it "quit working," how so? Does it spin up/power up? Are you having trouble playing DVDs? What model? It'll help to troubleshoot if you can give us more details.

Samsung dvd-v4600

sounds like you need to clean the laser lens. Try using a disc cleaner first and if that dosent work then take aprt and find the laser lens, take a clean q-tip and put a little alcohol and swab the lens very carefully Good luck
