When DVD disk is inserted, it keeps searching and returns
noPLAY.(snip)

Have you tried opening the unit and cleaning the lens (gently) with
a
q tip and pure alcohol? this solves 99 percent of read errors......

Thanks Ben,

Yes, have done that rightaway, but made no diff. The unit has seen
very little use - at most a dozen DVD have been played on it.
