Menu bottons will not work flashing open disk tray

None of the remote control related to the DVD or even VCR status will work. Time keeps changing. Disk tray will not open and it flashes OPEN. Also, when you press MENU, it flashes please wait. I have unplugged the machine for 2 days and as soon as I plug it back, it goes back to the same thing.

I have one that does that but I can still use the VCR for manual (not timed) recoding.
Get used to using VCR again.
It also serves as an AV1 to RF converter on dish units to RF TV's.

SOURCE: Samsung DVD-VR330: Disk Tray won't open

The solution is to unplug the machine and wait 10 secs. and plug it in again. I have to do this often. another part of the problem may be that some of the blank disks are bad. I got the DVD+R at Staples and about 4 out of 10 were able to be formatted. I am about to try the DVD-RWs.

SOURCE: DVD stopped working and cannot do setup.

You probably need to reset your DVD/VCR/Combo. Go to www.samsung.com. Go to <Support>. In the search box, type in the model of your DVD/VCR/Combo. Or type in, >how to reset DVD/VCR/Combo<. Each model has different reset method and there are hundreds of models!

853. How To Reset Your Samsung DVD Player STEP 1
STEP 1. DVD Reset List
Samsung DVD players have a built-in reset procedure that resets the DVD player to the factory defaults. You can use the reset procedure to reset settings that don’t work with your TV or to resolve issues such as unit lock up. To run the reset procedure, you press one or more buttons on the front of the DVD player and hold them for at least fifteen seconds. The buttons your press depend on the model you have.
Important: For the reset procedure to work, you must press the buttons on the front of the player, not on the remote control for the player.
Below is a list of all Samsung DVD players and the buttons to press to run the reset procedure.
DVD511 - Stop / Play
DVD611 - Stop / Play
DVD709 - Stop / Play....


Many, many other models follow but cannot be listed here because of this site's text limitations.


Good luck!

SOURCE: I have a Samsung DVD R160 recorder. A few days

Try this, look for a small hole on the front of the unit.Use a pin and press in to see if it opens,ejects the disk .If no hole try seeing if you can press ,lift,pull at the door/slot while pressing the open door/eject either on the unit or with the remote control.It sounds like you may have a bad CD/DVD (copy) that the unit is trying to read/load but can't. keep trying to eject CD/DVD if this doesn't work unplug unit for 5 minutes,try open door again do press and hold open repeatedly I know it's frustrating but it just may eject.Don't use this recorder for playback of DVD buy a $30 DVD player the cheaper the better they play anything.GOOD LUCK

CHANGE REGION RHT390H

see this steps:
Turn on the DVD player.

  • 2 Open the DVD disc tray and keep it open. Power on your DVD player and open the disk tray. Leave the tray open as DVD region code hacks need the tray to be open as the code is entered for it to get activated.


  • 3 Press the "Home" key on the DVD remote.
  • 4 Select the "Setup" option.
  • 5 Select the "Lock" icon by using the arrow keys on the remote control.
  • 6 Press the number key "0," seven times on the remote. This is the code-"0000000."

  • God bless you

    I HAVE COMBINATION TV/VCR/DVD ON THE COVER OF MANUAL STATES MW20F

    Most DVD players have a flap then the tray pushes open when it comes out. What you should do (if its already broken anyway) is, using your fingernails, pull open the flap (if there is one) and then pull out the tray manually. Pop the disk in and let it close, or just push it yourself. PUlling the tray should not damage any internal components except for the gears that move the tray, which are not related to the disk reader, power converter, or anything else.

    Keeps flashing "Bad disc".....

    Try playing a CD instead of a DVD, if the audio CD plays normally that means that the laser on the DVD side is defective. This devices come with 2 laser picks, one for CD and the other one for DVDs.
