Car DVD Player Problems A DVD player in a car can have problems just as the DVD
player in your home Car Diagnostic
Tool. But this also includes that the disc playing inside is vulnerable to
every pothole or bump the car might encounter. Here's some of the common
problems that can occur and how to correct them. Disc Not Recognized by DVD
Player Some older DVD players in cars have problems with some of the new
features that have been added to DVDs. Check to see whether there is a firmware
update for the DVD player by going to the company's online website and searching
through Support. Disc Won't Play Check that the disc is in good condition,with
no scratches or dents on the bottom (silver side). Also,lightly flick any dust
off the bottom using a lint-free cloth. If the disc won't play or it is a disc
that has been burned on a computer,try playing a commercially bought DVD or CD.
If these play,then the DVD or CD that was made on a computer is either defective
or the DVD player is not compatible with playing them. DVD Doesn't Play
Consistently in DVD Player Subtitling can sometimes cause a DVD movie not to
play correctly on a car's DVD player. Make sure that subtitling is turned off in
the DVD player's settings. Also check that other settings,such as brightness and
contrast,are at normal levels. Disc Skips,Doesn't Play Smoothly Any bumps or
vibrations can affect the disc. Some correction for this is built into the DVD
player,but not enough to correct for a pothole or if the car has bad suspension
or if the driver brakes suddenly. Try to drive smoothly while the disc is
playing. DVD Screen Doesn't Come Down If the DVD player has a drop-down screen
that doesn't work launch
x431 v plus,check to see if the fuse has blown. If it has,replace it with a
similar model and then try turning on the DVD player again. You can also try
turning off the car and then starting it again in case the battery wasn't
supplying enough power for the DVD player. Check the Car DVD Player's Wiring If
the car's DVD player was installed after-market (.,by the car's owner or a
service center and not in the factory),there is always the chance that wiring
has been frayed or gotten disconnected. Check the wiring of the DVD player to
make sure that it is not being bent or frayed and that all connections have been
properly done. Warning Most car DVD players are mounted on or in the
dashboard,with the screen either in the dashboard or coming down automatically
when turned on. Because of the danger of the driver looking at the screen and
not the road,it's better to have the DVD screen in the headrests of the cars so
that they are watched only by the passengers in the back seat.
