Poorly constructed

There is apparently a problem with the Philips DVD-793 and the optical disk rotation motor wearing out. The motor eventually wears out and doesn't have enough torque to overcome the initial static friction and start spinning the disc. The player kicks the disk out and displays a "Disc Error" message when in fact it is the player mechanism malfunctioning. Sometimes you can overcome this by using a "Fonzie" and giving the machine a light tap as it's loading.
Mine, (a DVD793CH21) lasted about 3 years, so I suppose I am lucky considering the reviews where people got less than a year of service. It's not feasible or cost effective to attempt to repair the part, so I guess I'll be buying something else. Probably not branded "Philips" |
