when i load the dvd in,it displays ;no disc and will not play

3 comments:

The Apex Digital ADV-3800 may display "no disc" when a DVD is loaded due to the following reasons:

1. Incorrect Disc Placement – Ensure the disc is placed with the graphics side up and correctly inside the guide on the disc tray.
2. Dirty or Damaged Disc – Check if the disc is free from scratches and fingerprints.
3. Region Incompatibility – Use only region 1 discs, as the player may not support discs from other regions.
4. Parental Lock – If parental lock is enabled, cancel the function or change the parental lock level (default password is 3308).
5. Power Cycle Issue – Turn off the power, unplug the device, reconnect it, and try again.
6. Incompatible Disc Format – If using an MP3 disc, the software edition used to burn the disc may not be compatible. Try reburning the disc.

If the problem persists, further troubleshooting or servicing may be required.

To fix the DVD tray not opening on the Apex Digital ADV-3800, try the following steps:

1. Turn Off and Restart – Turn off the power, unplug the player from the wall outlet, wait a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on.
2. Check for Obstructions – Ensure there is no disc or foreign object blocking the tray.
3. Use the Eject Button – Press the eject button firmly and hold it for a few seconds.
4. Manual Release (If Available) – Some players have a small pinhole near the tray that allows manual ejection using a paperclip. Check for this option.
5. Reset Parental Lock – If the parental lock is enabled, disable it by entering the preset password (3308).
6. Service Required – If the tray still does not open, the issue may require professional repair.

If none of these steps work, contact an authorized service provider.
