Smoke and DVD


Hi Audioners,

I have many times expressed a pOpblem of ny DVD players eventuaally edither stoppng play, not recocnizing the the disc or just refusinf tO plAY (GIVING SOME ERROr code) I have expressed this problem many times on this forum anD always seem to come to the same conclusion, no-one is listening to the problem. My Problem----- SOMETIMES A DVD WILL PLAY-----SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT---It has nothing to do with the format that the DVD was recorded at (as most replies seem to address) tO me it seem's that most likely the fault lies in the fact that I smoke . I can only assume from the repeated problems from many DVD players thaht the problem lies with me. I'm thinking that ciggarette smoke can build up on the optics of a DVD player and cause nit to not be able to read some discs (at least SOME of them on occassion) Please do not be so damm stupid as to respond to this query as to tell me that I should discs, My player UDED to play ALL the disc's as did my Denon Player--They both just seem to not recognize certain discs now. It has nothing nto do with the format with which they were redcorded. The player will sometimes play a disc that it pteviously failed to recognize, and sometimes the exact opposite will happen. Am I making nmyself clear? It is not the format , I am asking about the ability of a unit to play musically, no matter what the formst. I dondn't understan anything about ther formats--- I lust want good sound

Thanks

Steve

Dude you must be smoking some good $hit, cause you can't even type. No wonder your DVD player is confused. No, for real man, you got to stop smoking this stuff or next your TV will be showing something totally wicked and you'll be posting to complain about that. LOL. Happy Holidays!!!
Steve,

Smoking, drinking and then trying to post don't always go together. That problem aside, it does sounds like a laser cleaning problem or a unit that's on it's way out. Good luck,

Mike.
So What do you smoke? Can you share?
Even my delivery dude doesn't share with me what he's got for me but I suspect that his botanical good(quite naturaly grown I believe) come straight from Jamaica.

I'd first check if the DVD isn't upside down and
Yes
I can assume some kind of smoking substances can even booze electronics so giv'em a break for a while lol!
first of all, learn to spell, or at least use spell check. secondly, get a bedini ultra clarifier. it demagnitizes discs and will make a dramatic difference, much more than cleaners will. sounds a little hokey?? give it a try before you decide. i have the same issues with dvd's, and it is the only thing that has corrected the problem. it's a cheap fix, too.
Stvncar, Try first to magnetize an aluminium CD or DVD with the most powerfull magnet you can ever get and see what happens...
