Default LG DR 385 DVD recorder


"Jacques ROZEN" wrote in message
...
my DVD recorder LG DR 385 eject all disk i insert, immmediately, without
reading it. This occurs with commercial DVDs, to read it, and with blank
recordable DVDs to record on it. After several trials inserting and
rejecting, the DVD remains inside the recorder and can be read or recorded
normaly. How to fix this problem? is it a mechanical problem? like a
microswitch detecting the tray position? or an optical problem? dirty
lens? or a firmware bug?
Thank you for your help
Jacques



Assuming that it uses belt drive on the tray, check this carefully for
slipping at the end of the loading cycle. It's very common with the symtoms
you describe, for the loading belt to have just enough grip to drive the
tray in and out, but not quite enough to lift the deck and disc up to the
clamp, to complete the loading cycle. With the cover off, it should be quite
easy to see this.
