how to hook this up to a receiver

Hi dbm772,
If you have necessary tools and test instruments, know safety precaution in basic troubleshooting try the steps below to solve your problem.
Assuming that the disc is good.
1.Clean the lens. - Sometimes because of dust the lens can't read any disc. Try clean the lens by soft cotton buds. Be careful while doing this.
2.Replace the ribbon - Check the ribbon connected to the lens from the main board for scratch, damage. Once it has an open line then of course the lens can't read the disc. Also try to erase the contact by pencil eraser. If you've done the steps above and the symptoms still there then the next step requires you a little knowledge in soldering technique and reading the ohmmeter.
3.Check the motor - Check the motor that spin the disc with an ohmmeter. You can test it using the ohmmeter (x1) even it is connected on the lens assembly.Good motor - reading should be fairly high and it will spin. Bad motor- reading will drop to low resistance and will not spin.
Hint : 50% of my repaired unit the above parts are commonly caused of the problem.
If you confirmed that you have a defective motor then replace it with a new one. Before replacing the new motor you have to check the clearance of the disc holder with the old one. The clearance should be the same as the old because if not the lens will not read the disc if it is too far or too close.
If the above steps didn't cure the problem, high chance that your optical lens was faulty.

If you can

comcast , or wave broadband
remote is compatable

If the cd´s play and the dvd´s don´t the only thing are the motor disc spindle looses velocity and can´t read the dvd

No, there isn't.

Either the laser lens eye is dirty and needs to be cleaned with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.
Or you can open the door and blow inside real hard about 3 times.

If cleaning doesn't help, then the laser lens circuit is faulty and needs to be replaced.

comcast remote, it works

try 135

the preset password is 3308. but first goto set up menu select rating press enter/play, select rating agin press enter/play, chose rating you want, then enter password 3308, press set-up to exit, press enter/play to start.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

As antiochpc has initially proposed, clean the lens. This could be performed by using a cleaning disc. Should this be not corrective, then the top cover should be removed and the laser optics manually cleaned using cotton buds. it may also help spraying the mechanism with a can of compressed air to remove dirt and other debris.

Additionally, could be a mechanical problem. The carriage (where the laser optics ride) couldnot traverse its route. Most likely dried up lubricant on the sliderbar. This would be the small shafting thatguides the carriage of the laser pickup. Dirt, grime, dust andsolidified lubricant can cause stoppage of the carriage and the lasereye then fails to read the next track.



Check and perform preliminary visual or necessary inspection. Pls post back result(s). Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

get a better dvd player. KLH SUCKS ****!
