Problems loading Region 1 DVDs

My multi-region DVD player is usually great and plays whatever disks I use (mostly regions 1 and 2, sometimes region 4).

However, some disks (often just one disk out of a box set) just refuse to load. I've checked the dvds for scratches, and I've used a lens cleaning kit - but I'm still having problems.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Comments

  • this usually happens because of the way DVDs are coded, newer DVDs will not work on older DVD players, suggest you try it out on another multiregion dvd player if possible to make sure it isn't a faulty dvd before buying a new dvd player.
