Most likely the pickup is defective, or something is out of alignment.
The tollerances are very close on these, and if something is just a few mills out, it will not work properly. Jerry G. ====== |

What kind of DVD disc are you trying to play?
That unit is not compatible with any dvd-rw or dvd-ram disc and also will not play out of region discs. David wrote: Hello, Working on SD-V291 dvd/vcr combo.

I have seen some Pioneers etc that need to be re-initialized. This could be
your issue. Mark Z. wrote in message oups.com... What kind of DVD disc are you trying to play? That unit is not compatible with any dvd-rw or dvd-ram disc and also will not play out of region discs.

Varies from one manufacturer to the next. A Toshiba authorized servicer may
be able to get you this info - or perhaps a Google search if you're lucky. Some newer players can have their firmware loaded / upgraded using a cd-rom burned with that specific firmware and updating program. Mark Z. wrote in message oups.com...

P.S.
Some players might not be initialized in this sense at all - or the information may only exist somewhere in Japan. mz "Mark D. Zacharias" wrote in message news:...
