In one of our rooms here, we have an inexpensive DVD/CD player
(play-only) hooked up to a small TV. It's a "Classic" brand "DVD51S"
model http://www.emiglobal.com/dvd/pdf/DVD51S.pdf In the past, it has
worked fine as advertised in playing commercial movie DVD's, audio CD's,
and CD's that I burned with JPEG's.
I tested it yesterday in response to a complaint that it would no longer
play movie DVD's. It doesn't recognize any DVD's at all, including
multiple movies and one with images that I burned, and its display on
the front of the player scrolls a "no disc" message for those. It still
will play CD's both audio and JPEG.
Its onscreen setup mode has been examined for anything that could
possibly apply. I cleaned all dust accumulation from the tray, blew out
that area of the unit with a compressed gas duster, and used a
lens-cleaner CD. The location code agrees and is 1 for both the unit and
the DVD's used for testing. All connections have been checked,
naturally, although that wouldn't appear to apply and I've also
power-cycled the unit. Am I missing something? or is this a common
failure mode for these cheap units?
Any insight appreciated
Bob
