Toshiba DVD,SD-V291,incorrect disc error

[[email protected]]

Hello,
Working on SD-V291 dvd/vcr combo. Will not read the dvd, but after a
few minutes saids incorrect disc. It will play CD's ok.
It came in with the dvd tray out of place and hitting the optic pickup
unit.All looks ok.
Bad pickup?????
Thanks,
Karl Kvicala

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.

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.

I have seen some Pioneers etc that need to be re-initialized. This could be
your issue.

Hello,
How do you re-initialize?
Thanks,

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.
