I am getting "Disc error" when ever I am trying to play DVD in my 2004 Honda Odyssey EX-L.

Any help to resolve this issue will be helpful.

Thanks in advance

Jugal -

I too have the same problem with my '04 EX. "Disc Error" on the DVD. I've purchased a DVD cleaner - a disc that has little brushes on it and also used compressed air to try to clean off the head. These both did NOT work.

Did you ever get yours fixed?

Thanks!!!

Try this steps;

Check the disc you're using for scratches and dirt. If the disc is damaged it won’t play properly, regardless of the DVD player’s ability to function. You can use a DVD repair device like the "Disc Doctor" to repair the DVD or purchase a new DVD.

Make sure the discs you're using fit the correct format specified by your DVD player. For example, if your DVD player doesn’t support home-burned DVD-R's, then you can’t use a DVD that you made at home. You may need to upgrade to a newer model, most of which accept the latest DVD formats.

Clean the laser lens with a DVD laser lens cleaning disc. DVD laser lens cleaning discs can be purchased at most electronics retailers or online. Insert the laser lens cleaning disc and follow the instructions.

Insert a correctly-formatted, undamaged disc into your player. Listen to see if it begins to read the disc. If it continues to make no sound and gives you the same message, then the problem is probably that your disc is not spinning in the device.

Turn the device off and unplug it. Take off the outer casing by removing the three or four screws and lifting the top piece off. This will allow you to see if anything is simply stuck or jammed. If this is the case, a simple nudge back to the correct position will fix the problem.

Clean the lens while the DVD player is open. A dirty lens is most likely the cause of your no-disc error. The lens should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab.

Thanks, I've used a DVD head cleaner and blew in a bunch of compressed air with no luck. How can you get at the Honda DVD player? Do you know where the screws are? I had heard you have to pull off the front bezel to get at it which takes a bit of effort.

Cleaning the DVD disc with the special disc works. We use that for home DVD players when the heads get dirty. Also we clean the discs we are using with alcohol and a cotton ball. That always works, and we get them working again. The cleaning disc gets rid of all the surface dirt on the DVD, and it collects on there quickly.
