Satellite A660 - DVD player does not recognize some DVD

I have a new Satellite A660-17th with a drive HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N, running under Windows 7 64-bit.

The reader will read most DVDs. Commercial DVD (region 2) are very good. However, there are problems with the DVD recorded with DVD recorders. Recordings of DVD + R using a Philips machine work very well. DVD + R and DVD - R using a Sony HDX 1095 of RDR machine do not work.

I hope that the disc is ok and that this problem can be solved by changing some settings or other?
Any ideas?

Hey,.

If commercial DVDs are working properly, it s final related to your own created DVD recorder of DVD.
It s knows not to adjust something on the DVD player without region code

In my opinion, you should test different brands of DVD to check which is compatible with all devices.
My favorite is Verbatim DVD - R TDK also makes good discs

Check this box!

  • DVD player does not recognize some media on Satellite A30-514

    I own a laptop Satellite A30-514 with Microsoft xp OS. For some time, some DVD (no games) will not play of the drive. some other not. It is not a problem of region - they are all region 2. Windows does not read the disc when inserted and does not record a disc in the drive when I show 'my computer '. CD is the game normally. This could be a (internal) driver problem or my CD DVD combo is all just too old now?

    Thank you, Mary.

    Hello

    To give you a precise answer, it will be interesting to know what DVD is not readable. Meaning of the word "media" is in general and not helpful to understand the problem.

    Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, and it is possible that the WEIRD feature is not good more. You can try to clean the lens.

  • Tecra M4 - DVD player does not recognize discs in Vista

    Hello

    After the installation of Vista my dvd player does not recognize discs!
    No update XP! It was a clean install of Vista.

    I found several links on the upper filter and lower registry entries this entry does not exist in my registry under the CDROM class.

    I tried the XP disk it works fine and recognizes all.
    Drivers are installed correctly no problem in Device Manager is invited.

    So I have no idea how to run it, seems to be a Vista problem

    Could someone help me? I am really frustrated to this topic

    Thanks for your help

    Maybe this helps:

    -Remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD.
    -Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    -Reboot the laptop

    But what happens exactly? Which disks are not recognized?

  • Satellite A205: Vista & BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

    After a crash of the sudden family Vista system premium on a Toshiba Satellite A205 the system does not recognize the DVD CD - RW drive. Neither in Explorer, Device Manager, nor BIOS.

    Laptop is only a few months old.
    Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.
    Tried Windows Update - does not help.
    Tried registry fix - does not help.

    Cannot use the CD to reinstall all drivers - because it is not recognized.
    The DVD drive LED is on. If the disk looks ok physically.

    Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    Very strange what s
    Try this:

    Access the BIOS and set the default settings and save the changes.
    If it doesn't help then I put t see any other possibilities for contact ASP in your country for a CD/DVD drive control and possibly a replacement

    You said that the notebook is only several months old so I assume that the warranty is still valid and that's why everything has to be done for free

    Good luck my friend

  • Player does not recognize that the CD or DVD is loaded

    A player does not recognize that there is a disc inserted - when I try to use, it ejects and ask valid.  I tried several CD and DVD with the same answer.  I downloaded the BIOS and readers say that it works correctly.
    Can you help me please?

    Sounds like the drive has failed.  You can try to clean with a CD/DVD audio standard disk cleanup, but if it fails, then the reader should probably be replaced.

  • Satellite L300D - 14G: ODD does not recognize music or discs softwear

    I have a Satellite L300D - 14G and used a 7 upgrade disks or disk softwear since when the dvd player does not recognize the music.
    There is no drivers on the toshiba site to download

    someone help please.

    Hello

    You n t need all drivers! Windows 7 uses a drive CD/DVD from Microsoft.
    There must be another reason why the disks of music or software are not recognized.

    First of all I would recommend to change the registry.
    Remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Reboot the machine and then test drives

    In addition, you will need to check if some 3rd party software like ITunes or other disc burning software would not affect the functionality of CD/DVD drive.

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize the device (iphone)

    I'm trying to download music from Windows Media Player on my iphone. I can get the files in the synchronization section but the Media Player does not recognize my device or seem to have a way to connect. Can anyone help?

    You will need to install iTunes. The iTunes Setup program adds drivers and services for the iPhone. That's what I do:

    1. Once iTunes is installed, it allows to import all the music in Windows Media Player.
    2. If you want to automatically download album art, you will need to register for an iTunes Store account. Otherwise, just copy the album art from Windows Media Player:
    a. at a command prompt, cd in each music folder.
    b. attrib s h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
    c. xcopy AlbumArt * %tmp% Large.jpg
    d. attrib + s + h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
    e e.. now, for each album in iTunes, right click and choose 'Get Info'. Drag & drop the corresponding JPG of %tmp% in the field "Cover Art" and click OK.
    3. connect your iPhone. Select "Manually manage music" on the screen of the iPhone.
    4. click on the icon on the left side of iTunes music. Make sure that all the music that you want to synchronize has an audit. (This is the default).
    5 Select and drag it to the icon of the iPhone.

  • Satellite A100-447 - DVD player does not read some discs

    Hello

    I have a 4 month old Satellite 100-447 (PSAAN), came preloaded with Vista Home Premium and a carpet * CD/DVD super-multi UJ-850 s player.

    The DVD player does not work properly. It will recognize a few blank, but never DVD-R DVD and won't recognise any DVD at all serious. He is very good with CD and DVD movie discs. It's just recordable DVD where there is a problem.

    Also when you try to write to a DVD, when he chooses to recognize a TI-error in half way through.

    What can I do?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    You can do the follwowing:

    Go to this website http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp,

    Download the latest update of the firmware for this drive, install it, and then try again.

    Sometimes, the manufacturer must update their readers for the newer recordable media and so I think that it is possible that your drive is simply not up to date.

  • Satellite A100-773: CD/DVD player does not recognize the CD

    Hello friends,

    I have satellite A100-773.
    When I turned on it today it does not recognize any CD. He acknowledges, however, DVD and can also burn CDs with Nero.

    As soon as I put in a CD it says (in German) something like "access denied, unauthorized function.
    It's a mystery to me what happened. Until yesterday, it was perfect. Now the same CD (and I tried 20) wouldn' work anymore.

    I tried the recovery system to an earlier point in time, but it does not help. In the hardware Manager tells me that everything is going well.

    Do you have any idea what it can be?

    Thank you very much

    Ognian

    Hello

    In such cases, it s is not easy to say why it happens.
    Usually if the drive cannot read media either material works badly or the CD / DVD is not compatible and taken in charge.

    But we hope that the equipment is not damaged.
    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
    After that restart of the operating system should recognize the drive again and load the driver. Then you could try to test the drive again.

    I also found a very large Microsoft document on:
    How to troubleshoot problems that occur when you copy data on a CD - R or CD - RW optical disc in Windows XP
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/324129

    and this:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315350/

    The other possibility is to use the recovery CD to reinstall the OS.
