Player will not read discs. keeps saying "no disc" when discs are inserted. Worked fine until today.

If it states no disc, cannot read, etc you have either a dirty or bad optical pickup in the unit.

It is likely either a dirty optical pickup in the unit or a bad one--they do sell cleaning kits--if a disc was used that had some dirt etc on it it may have caused this issue.

Either a dirty optical pickup or a bad one (it reads the disc).

The problem is in the laser pickup assembly, over time laser becomes weak until it can no longer read the disc. Buy a CD cleaning kit and follow the instructions, if no change! cheaper to replace the player.

Thank you for posting to Fixya.com and it is my pleasure to guide you.

1. The disc may be turned over. Insert the disc with the playback side facing down.

2. The disc may be dirty. Wipe it with the correct type rag.

Since you stated the display is showing then I take it the player is on and the chord is plugged in.

3. Is the disc completely centered in the tray? I have done that before.

4. Have you run the self-diagnosis function? If the Error code 'AACS ERR' shows then it is an "AACS read failure". Remove the protected disc. Then turn the unit off and wait a minute or two and back on.

Good luck and please post back that you are successful and give thumbs up if my solution has worked for you. If I can be more helpful just reply.

dvd player keeps saying no disc when I try to play a dvd.what can i do? worked fine until about 3 months ago. started to say no disc when disc inserted but after opening and closing 3 to 6 times it would read.now it just wont read. any ideas?

dirty dirty dirty
clean the dvd player

unplug tape - like connection at laser - eye & replug it. Disassemble first. IT WORKED FOR ME !!!!!!!!!

the laser lenses may be dirty, a commercially available cleaner may help, not a solution, just a suggestion I am not familiar with panasonic

use fine cd on ur player. If some cd is not working ten do not try it again an again. Try different one. Thank You.
