Sony Dvd Player Error Code C 13 00
Well, luckily this one was not, yet my Sony DVD player kept saying it was dirty. WTF? After sony dvd player flashing c 13 00 a bit of fumbling around I found it to play just fine in my other Sony player in the kids toy room, so I decided to do a sony dvd player error code c:13:70 bit of sleuthing. Since this wasn't the first time I had run into this I was looking at two options really; either my DVD player is dirty and needs to be cleaned, or it damaged and in need of a good fixing - most likely

Office Space style. Luckily, option 3 presented it self. The offending error is C 13:00 error, which in some cases can be cleared up by calibrating the player back to Single Layer (SL) and Dual Layer (DL) discs through the diagnostics menu. What menu you say? Well, I'll show you. From all that I have read, it is best to calibrate both disc types starting with a single layer disc first. You can identify disc type by color since Dual layer DVD's have a gold tint to the data side

and single layer DVD's have a silver tint. The other way is if you have any burned discs from your computer, I did and I just used one of those as the single layer disc. Take the disc out, turn the DVD player Off to standby mode using the remote. Then press the following 3 buttons Title, Clear, then Power within a second of each other. This will open the diagnostics menu: Test Mode Menu 0. System Diagnosis 1. Drive Auto Adjustment(Calibration) 2. Drive Manual Operation 3. Mecha Aging 4. Emergency History (has total hours of playtime) 5. Version Information 6. Video Level Adjustment To perform the disc calibration press option 1 on the Test Mode Menu to enter the Drive Auto Adjustment menu. Drive Auto Adjustment 0. All 1. DVD-SL 2. CD 3. DVD-DL 4. SACD Exit: RETURN From here selection option 1 to calibrate the single layer disc first. The drive bay will open, so insert the disc and proceed. Once it has completed the player spits the disc out and you can proceed to option 3 for the same series of steps. When everything is completed, just hit the power button and go from there. Viola! This worked like a champ for me, so hopefully I will get another 7 years out of my DVD player. I'm beginning to feel a bit like an AV tech since I have fixed my own TV too. Now if only I could find some BC's with tape on them…. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddi

Overtime, the device started to have problems reading standard DVDs, although CDs worked http://floggingenglish.com/blatherings/how-to-fix-your-ailing-sony-dvd-player/ fine. When original DVD (or burned DVD+R/+RW was inserted) the device tried to read the disc and after trying for a while you get either "no disc" or disc dirty (C:13:00) indication. However, sometimes it read the disc eventually after several tries. I dropped the device off at repair shop, and got it back with the indication that there was nothing wrong, it read all discs the guy had. I was quite buzzled at this and went through my http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/72446-Sony-725-Weird-problem-with-no-disc-or-C-13-00 DVDs. It turned out that about 1/3 of the discs had problems being accepted by the drive. Now, any comments to the following - do I ask for trouble with this? I found out about the maintenance mode and did the following (use at YOUR own risk): 1) entered the test mode menu by entering in standby TITLE, CLEAR, POWER ON on remote ctrl. !! You might want to skip step 2 below and try if it works without it. 2) selected (2) Drive manual operation - Selected (6) Memory check. - Noted on paper the EEPROM values (a bit paranoid am I?) - pressed CLEAR for restoring default set. - returned to main menu 3) selected (1) Drive auto adjustment - Selected DVD-SL (followed instructions, and entered own DVD+R when asked for disk) - Selected CD (followed instructions, and entered a working CD) - Selected DVD-DL (followed instructions, and entered a DVD when asked for disk). - did not have SACD so did nothing for that. - returned to main menu 4) after this I exited the test mode menu with POWER. All my problems reading commercial DVDs, or reading DVD+R, DVD+RW (HP media) authored with DVDit LE or NERO on HP DVD200i drive disappeared. Earlier only DVD+RW were accepted by the device, or very seldom a DVD+R. With DVD+R there was major problems (leading to C:13:00 error) trying to read disc with slideshow (authore
