How to fix the main problems with the DVD player?

Like any other technique, sooner or later your DVD player will break down, or just start to give out confusing messages. If such a message appears, or if a malfunction is detected in operation of your ‘’beloved’’ one, do not rush to contact the service center, maybe the problem is easily solved, and this is only a minor problem.

First of all, it is necessary to carefully study the instruction manual. At the end of each instruction there is a page called dvd player troubleshooting, which lists the most common system failures, with tips for fixing them. These tips are useful to know, well, or at least have an instruction manual at hand. Most frequently on the screen the user can see the following message: "Error reading the disc." Do not panic. There may be several reasons for the malfunction, and most of them can be eliminated on their own.

First, you need to check the functions of your player. Maybe it just does not read the format in which this disc is recorded. Each player supports only a strictly defined list of formats, and all the others are not supported. The list of formats should be presented in the instruction manual. If your player does not read this format, then you will not be able to watch your disc. Another of the frequent reasons for not reading the disc is its mechanical damage. During use, the discs are often scratched, they can get dirty. If there are too many scratches or there are spots on the disc, wipe it with a woolen cloth or a simple cloth. To make sure that the disc is to blame, insert the recently bought CD into the player.

If the problem is not in the disc, you need to go on to diagnose the problems of the player itself. First of all, you need to pay attention to the most painful place of any technique - wires. They become the most frequent cause of breakdown of all household appliances. In the process of use, they are constantly bent, stretched, and can break. Check that the wire is firmly attached to the contacts of the player. If you have a spare wire, connect it. The cause of the failure can also hide inside the system. For example, if the laser power supply has broken, and its power is lost on the way. Then the laser cannot work properly, and the disc will not be detected. This malfunction can only be solved by the service center's specialists.

Another cause of malfunction may be mechanical damage to the shell. As a result of shocks or falls, the mechanism of the receiving carriage disc may be violated. As a result, it may not reach the end in the system, so the disk will be in the wrong position. Rattles and large gaps between parts also do not contribute to good performance of the player. And finally, the breakdown of the reading laser itself, which can also be diagnosed and corrected only in the service center.
