These players use 2 lasers. One is for DVD's, and the other is for CD type
disks. The DVD one either has a dirty lens, or has failed. It is also
possible that there is a defect in the circuitry that is dealing with the
DVD media has failed, but this is not often. You can try cleaning the laser
lenses, and making sure that all the cables and etc, are seated well. Try
another DVD disk, in case the one you are using is defective.

Hello
I have a Samsung DVD V3650 combo unit ..
The unit will read and play SVCD JPEG and audio CD with no problems but when
I insert
a DVD movie it loads spins but will not read the disk .after about 5 minutes
of searching
I get a can't read disk message
I am assuming that because it will read the other formats the laser should
be OK
any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
