If it is new, you might want to take it back lg blu ray player disc error for replacement. When you say it won't play certain cds do you mean cd or do you mean dvds as well? Dvd players will run music cds, but may only play dvd-r format or dvd+r format disks; some play both formats. But you did say not copied. Purchased dvds should play in all machines if clean and undamaged. Probably have a broken player or bad disks. Try the disks that won't play in another machine. rulisky, May 16, 2006 lg dvd player troubleshooting #2 niksta Member Joined: May 15, 2006 Messages: 2 Likes Received: 0 Trophy Points: 11 The problem I'm having is with music cds not DVDs. It's strange how a regular cd which you buy from any generic music store won't play on a regular player. Unfortunately it's 3 years old and out of warranty. Bring back the old days when appliances lasted forever!!!! niksta, May 17, 2006 #3 rulisky Regular member Joined: Apr 26, 2006 Messages: 809 Likes Received: 0 Trophy Points: 26 If the disks that don't play for you check ok in another player, I would be suspect of the LG player. You could try one of those laser cleaning disks. If that does not clear up the problem, then the laser is probably worn/bad. They do wear out sooner or later. Unfortunately sometimes sooner. The good news is that you should be able to get a good DVD player that handles ALL formats to include music and pictures in the $50 - $60 range that comes with a warranty. Your symptoms sound like when the SuperDisk drive went out on my old computer. It was supposed to read regular 3.5 inch floppies and 120mb SuperDisks. A clever gadget in its time. Anyway, it quit reading the Supers and told me they needed to be formatted. Still read the regular 3.5s just fine. It was a worn out laser in the disk drive. Only way to f

message referring to no disc being in the system. This can be infuriating because you can see that there is a disc, however, the CD / DVD player cannot. Every time the tray closes, the laser beam fires two long bursts of laser light, and the focusing platform moves up and down attempting to focus the beam. This is the time when it is looking for a disc. If the laser has failed, then it will not be able to detect a CD and therefore the error message appears. I normally do two things when this happens. I normally clean the lens just in case there is dust on it obstructing the laser path. If cleaning the lens does not solve the problem then I make sure the laser is working. Obviously one should never look directly into the laser unit, you would have to be plain stupid if you did that. The laser light is bright enough that one can see the diffused red light from a distance obliquely. A piece of paper the size of a standard CD within the tray can also help, because when the tray closes, one can see the diffused red light on the paper. It is usually bright enough and visible from the other side of the paper. If there is no red light, then the laser has failed. Back in the 1990s, I used to fix many of these and it was always either the spindle motor or the laser that failed. These two components are in constant use and wear out the most. Laser diodes do not last forever, especially on the early players manufactured in the 1980s. It would be very surprising to find a player still working from that era. Most of those units used cheap motors where the brushes wore out within a few years. Moreover, if that did not fail, then the laser surely would. The laser diode manufacturing process was not as refined either, and those diodes had a short finite life to them. Most of those early CD players would be hard to find as they often ended up in landfill. I have come across many high-end players of recent time that use the same cheap mass produced drive mechanisms. Moreover, most of those failed within a
