    Disc Error (DVD1 mark I)

    Reply Contact

    I very recently acquired a DVD1 (mark I) from a fellow Beoworlder.

    After working on Monday and Tuesday, it threw a "Disc Error" on a 'new' DVD.

    Tests with DVDs and CDs that worked on Monday and Tuesday are now failing - either after 5 minutes, or simply not registering at all.

    Is there a simple home handyman approach to this ? (cleaning the insides)

    Or is it off to B&O for a maintenance quote ?

    Or ....... Sad

    First B&O (1976) was a Beogram 1500 ... latest (2011) change has been to couple the BL11 with the BL6Ks *sounds superb*

    You could try cleaning the laser lens but this usually does not work.

    Mk1 DVD1's are a lottery, I am surprised that this one was still working!

    The repair involves replacing the DVD mechanism so will not be cheap!!

    You will be astounded at how little you have bought when you take the lid off and see all that fresh air in the box.

    DVD1 is a piece of junk!

     

    They usually work for a week or so. I've had two second hand, both back to the dealer within days, broken, with the same problem as yours. Luckily I got mine from a dealer who returned my money.
