Yamaha DVD player issues HELP!!

[sts9fan]

So I have a yammy c750 which I don't really care for but need to use till i get up the cash for a new player.
The other day I was listening to some music and the power in my apt blinked off for a second. The player froze up and was putting out a high pitch sound. I unplugged it and it seemed fine but i have not tried a dvd until today.So i go to put in a dvd today and it won't see the disk. It just says no disk and moves on. It sees cds fine. It won't see dvd-a either. During my rage it did manage to read a dvd but only once. Any ideas? I bet I am screwed but any suggestions would be great.
Thanks for your help

P.S. how do think this is gonna effect my view of Audioholics glowing reviews seeing I already was dissapointed with the units crappy mechanics

I can't really help I'm afraid. All I can suggest is that something is up with the part of the player that detects the flag on a disc which tells the player what it is that it is reading. This would explain why CD's work, but DVD's (of any kind it seems) don't.

Sorry.

Did you have the player hooked up through a surge protector? Can you get into the menus and does it have a "Factory Reset"? If so, try that.

WRT the Audioholics reviews, I'm not sure which one you read. I read the one by Ray Adkins and thought he was pretty clear that the C750 had a poor user interface and slow load times. That, combined with similar reviews and user comments, is why I decided not to buy a C750. The only thing really "glowing" about the review was the audio performance. I have heard a C750 and IMO the review is pretty accurate, on all counts.

I was a little pissed when I wrote that and my anger was misguided I am sure.

It was connected to surge protecter none of my other equiptment was effected. Anyway I will try to do a factory reset when I get home. Thanks for the response.

you should try and see what other discs it still reads like mp3 SACD and see what happens.
One good thing I have discovered about the C750 is that it reads mpeg4 data files and outputs sound throught the analog multi-ch. Which means you dont need a dvd burner to put downloaded video on the big sceen.

Have you tried to email Yamaha? I have heard they are fast to respond, and sometimes have a great solution.
