I have a new JVC X-VN-312 DVD player, my first DVD.
Every disc That I've bought has played OK (with the exception of the "extras" on one, with which the "enter" button merely moved the cursor along to the next item, and didn't play the section) but a good 50% of the DVDs from our library and a video store don't load.
The display either says "no disc" or "cannot read disc".
One DVD would play up to 9 seconds, then just locked with the laser hunting with a clicking noise, every time.
All the discs were properly cleaned although mostly fairly scratched.
Is the JVC particularly prone to read errors? The girl at the store said that the cheapest players are the best for being able to play abused discs.
TIA

If it's recently purchased, take it back to the store, tell them the problems you're having with it, and see if they'll do an "exchange". An exchange might do the trick.

Thanks.
One weird thing was a video store movie which would not play beyond 9 seconds or not read in the first place and the disc was spotless. We exchanged it for the same movie, the disc was scratched to hell - and played flawlessly!Datastream
