If the DVD player does not turn on, it may be in standby mode, in this case the Standby LED to the right of the disc tray will be glowing. Hit the power button to turn the DVD player OFF. Wait a few seconds before hitting the power button again to power ON. The DVD player requires a few seconds between powering on and off.
If the DVD player does not turn on, the AC Power Cord may be loose or not plugged in. Check if the AC power cord is fully plugged into a wall socket. Make sure the wall socket works properly by trying another device in the same socket.
If the DVD player does not turn on, the AC Power Cord may be damaged. Check the AC cords for damage. The AC Power Cord may have bare wire showing or may not be properly connected to the power supply board. The AC cord may need to be replaced.
If the DVD player does not turn on, the Power Supply Board may be damaged. Check the fuses on the Power Supply Board. Also, check for any damage to the Power Supply Board. The Power Supply Board may need to be replaced.
If the DVD player does not eject, it may be in standby mode, in this case the Standby LED to the right of the disc tray will be glowing. Hit the power button to turn the DVD player OFF. Wait a few seconds before hitting the power button again to power ON. The DVD player requires a few seconds between powering on and off.
If the DVD player does not eject, the DVD inside the DVD Player may be jammed. To access the Disc Tray, remove the top panel and disc tray bracket. Check to make sure that the center of the disc is aligned with the disc mount.
If the DVD player does not eject, the Disc Tray May Be Damaged. Check for any apparent damages to mechanical components of the disc tray, including the gears as well as the ejection motor by replacing the Disc Tray.
If the DVD player does not eject, there may be a bad connection between the motherboard and the ejection motor. Remove the top panel and unplug the ribbon cable connections. Clean the connections with alcohol and then plug them back in. Also check for any damage to the ribbon cable. The ribbon cable may need to be replaced.
If the disc is not being read, the power to the laser may be interrupted. Remove the top panel to check for damage to ribbon cable connections. Also check the condition of the laser housing. One or both of these components may need to be replaced.
If the Disc does not spin in the DVD Player, the DVD may be scratched. In this case the disc laser will not be able to read the disc. Put in a different DVD in order to see if the problem is the DVD itself, not the DVD player.
If the Disc does not spin in the DVD Player, it may be due to the DVD player overheating. With the DVD Player turned off, blow compressed air from a can through the vents located on the bottom of the DVD Player. This will get rid of any dust that might be accumulating in the DVD player (main cause of overheating).
If the DVD player tells you to open the tray and nothing happens, the motor may be broken. Check the Buttons Do Not Work section to make sure that all connections are secured and that the button circuit board is functioning properly. If everything works as it should and the tray still does not eject, then you will need to replace the tray motor.
When I plug the unit in I get the orange standby mode light. Then when I try to turn it on it gives me red and when I let go of the button it goes back to orange. I checked the fuse and it's fine. What could be the next thing to check?
@flebitn if it is a "new dvd player", return it. It should be covered under warranty. If it is an older DVD player then let us know what make and exact model this is. Typically when a DVD isn't loading your disc or the laser that is reading the disc, is either scratched or dirty. Try using a different disc. If the DVD still doesn't load, you might have to clean or replace your laser. If it is a CyberHome CH-DVD 300 then you can use these guides CyberHome CH-DVD 300 to work on it. Common problem with this model was a few failed "low esr" filter capacitors on the power supply.
I've had my apeman portable dvd player for about 6-months. Up until now all of my dvds worked perfectly until I purchased a complete series, now every other dvd plays. I thought it was the dvd, but recently ordered & received a replacement. To my frustration I'm experiencing the same problem with the same dvd as before. I'd appreciate any advice or assistance in resolving this matter. I even tried playing the dvd's on my laptop without success.
In your case, you are stuck on step 2. I would start with an attempt to clean the lens on the optics assembly. Use a cotton swab and alcohol and GENTLY clean the surface of the lens. Be careful as the lens is supported by fine wires that allow for focus.
Get a SpenCertified remote and benefit from the assurance of an original, professionally refurbished product that you have confidence in. Reduce waste and hassle while enjoying long-lasting performance, high quality phone support, and easy returns. Never settle for hard-to-program, low-quality plastic junk again!
For a couple of years, I have been looking for a replacement for my Toshiba DVD Recorder that was starting to break down. I had placed four orders with Amazon....3 of the recorders did not work and had to be returned, the fourth order was canceled by the seller before shipping with no explanation. An internet search brought me to spencertified.com and I found a refurbished Toshiba recorder similar to the one I was using. Without high expectations, I placed another order with them. SpenCertified let me know when my order was placed and kept me fully updated during the shipping process. The recorder arrived in about 4 days (much quicker than I anticipated) and works perfectly. The box included the recorder, remote and users' manual and advertised. I am very satisfied with my experience with SpenCertified and plan to order additional equipment from them. I highly recommend them.
I was totally amazed with the speed of delivery for my order. Ordered on May 4 and received on May 8! It was very thoughtful of them to email me to offer assistance and to ensure I was happy with my purchase. Great Job!
Being a senior who refuses to give up VCR'S, I was in a panic because my last one died and no one sells them anymore in CA. Luckily I discovered SpenCertified, and will never have to worry again. I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am with the fantastic service they provide. My sets arrived in a timely manner, extremely well wrapped and the friendly emails offering any help were appreciated. I will continue to do business with them in the future and plan to refer them to all my friends. Thank you, guys... YOU CAN BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.
When my beloved VCR died, I discovered new ones were not being manufactured as before. All my tapes, collected over many years - - lost!? All future recordings - - lost!? What to do? Then, I discovered SpenCertified. I was wary. Was this a scam? I was afraid. Would my purchase truly be guaranteed? I wanted, I NEEDED, a working VCR, so I made my order. The packaging was perfect, the VCR was even better than advertised, Spencer was extremely helpful. I am a very satisfied customer.
I just got my vhs dvd player in the mail. I was so impressed how well they kept me informed about it. When i got it it was well packaged no problems. We hooked it up and works great. Thank you so much will do buisness again.
I recently bought a pair of football boots for more than 100. For slightly less money, I could've picked up a DVD recorder. It wasn't too long ago that the concept of recording video onto a shiny disc was nestled firmly in the realms of science fiction and, yet, they're now affordable to all.
Until recently, even a half decent VHS deck would cost more. But the old adage 'you get what you pay for' rattles uneasily around my sceptical mind. Surely, at this price, something like a DVD recorder would be made of old bits of tin and aluminium foil. Not so, it seems, as the one thing that's surprising about both the machines featured here is the build quality on each. As for performance, well, that's an entirely different story...
German manufacturer CyberHome is synonymous with the budget end of the market, and has already enjoyed a modicum of success in the cheap and cheerful DVD player/recorder market. Just over a year ago, we reviewed the respectable 250 CH-DVR750. The major difference with the DVR 1600 though, is that it's 150 cheaper!
It's also the smallest DVD recorder I've come across at only 350mm wide. And while its diminutive dimensions make it ideal for transportation it's too small for a regular AV rack. But it looks smart when nestled on a suitable stand and there's a certain charm in its simplicity.
The fascia reveals composite video, analogue stereo and DV-link (IEEE 1394) inputs. Many recorders way above this price point have no such ingress. It almost makes up for the scant connectivity on the rear. Two Scarts are on offer, but only the output is RGBenabled, thereby resigning your input signal to be composite at best.
The only other connections are outputs for S-video, composite video, analogue stereo audio and coaxial digital audio. Of course, there's RF loopthrough for the analogue tuner, but that really is your lot. No component. No progressive scan.
Features are fairly thin too. There's five record modes for use with DVD R and DVD RW discs; HQ (1hr on a single-sided disc), SP (2hrs), LP (3hrs), EP (4hrs) and SLP (6hrs). An automatic switch-off function is also offered, which allows you to record 30, 60 or 90 minutes of footage by simply pressing the record button a requisite number of times - handy if you're nipping out to the shops. And, on the editing side, things are also simplified drastically; deleting both titles and sections in titles and renaming them is all there is to play with.
However, as basic as this all is, if you're just after a deck to record TV shows you can do much worse. Through the analogue tuner, the images captured at the top two bitrates are very good, with few obvious picture problems. It's only when you input a set-top box signal at composite level that you realise why this machine is so cheap: a lack of detail, poor contrast and artefacting is apparent even at the highest recording modes (the lowest is truly horrid).
