Could a burned DVD break my DVD players?

Question

A friend burned a DVD for me and when I tried to play it on my DVD players (2 separate players) it would'nt work. I just figured the copy was bad, but now neither of my DVD players will read any discs!!! They try to find a disc then come back with "no disc". Could the burned DVD have broken my players somehow? Is there a way to fix them? One is six disc player and it won't read a disc in any position.

Answer 1

There is no reason that any disc should "break" a DVD player permanently.  A mis-formatted disc might confuse or lock up the player; a system reset (unplug the player for a few minutes) should return things to normal.  If it doesn't your player has gone defective and it may not have anything to do with the disc; in that case you can return it if under warranty.

Answer 2

Can reading a page from a book break your eyes? Same principle. If the player is stuck, unplug for a few minutes.

Answer 3

try unpluging for 5 mins then it should play fine
