The play and disc in lights do not light up when I turn the player on. The disc will go in but it will not play. I get a message that says " disc error this disc may not have playback capability please eject disc." Same message with any disc I try.
DVD disc wont load/play due to broken "turnstile" , (the part that sets in the DVD hole to turn the disc). Only cure I found was to replace the whole DVD mechanism, (too costly), or just buy a new machine!

Tom ... I bought my Symphonic WF803 and it gave me the EXACT same massage, just in tim after my warranty expired. I was stuck with just a VCR. Well after all these years, I decided to look online for the solution. I come across your message, and I decided to take matters into my own hand.
I opened up the top, and unscrewed all kinds of things ... I blew into everything, and still nothing .. finally, with the top still off, the power on, and dvd inside, I shove it back towards the wall. I prompted my DVD disc to start spinning. Now Ive turned it off and on again, and it works. I feel stupid I didn't try the tough love thing. LOL, Seriously.
Anyways Tom, if you have it. Knock it a good one.
