Hello..I'm encountering the same problem that you had..mine's even worse kasi the same ang nangyayari for both pirated and original dvd's..I exchanged it for another unit(same model and brand), but the problem's still there! It's really frustrating..Were you able to find a solution? I'd appreciate your comments..thanks in advance!^_^

I got my replacement, July mfg date (previous was Oct). It's working fine now. Sa tingin ko may tama ang lens kaya nagsstop. Get a replacement na lang kung pwede pa.

Guys hello!

new here!:) i also have this HTIB. Sound Quality is superb, no doubt. But i wanted to ask you guys. Somebody said that HT805pm decodes dts. Is it playing a .mkv file with dts using a thumb drive/ext HDD? Thanks in advance. I really wanted to watch 1080p movie with my ld460! please! hahah :D

It won’t work if you will plug your hdd sa HT805PM kasi it can’t read MKV files.. What you can do is plug your hdd with your TV I’m Assuming you have an LD460 then optical to HT805pm that’s the best you can do.

My feedback for this unit is it’s a good entry level HTIB you can plug your mobile phone and play music via usb port that alone is a plus for me.

If you have a small to a medium living room or bedroom this is enough to satisfy your need for sound not unless you’re an audio adik then you might find this as BITIN but if you will use this as everyday DVD marathon tool or occasional vide-oke  machine like I do its all good ..di ka ma papahiya…

Also the SQ is ok compare to other entry level HTIB if you have a LD460 this is one of the best Htib for it not unless you have the money to get its taller brother.

All in all for its price it’s a great buy

It decodes DTS from DVD's. The MKV files have to be smaller than 4 gig to be able to fit in the FAT 32 file format. Drives formatted with NTFS file system will not be recognized.

Mine is working fine for the first 2 weeks since i got it. But today I experienced the same problem playing original dvd. It is quite annoying. Did anyone of you found out a solution?

i think the reason why the player is stoping during playing pirated dvd's is because its pirated ive noticed that pag original di naman natigil tuloy parin and pag usb watching tuloy tuloy naman nakakairita pag biglang tumigil yung pinapanood mo.. thats why invest on original DVD's,media player, external hardisk or flashdrives

saken kasi 8Gb flashdrive ok na saken ill just copy the movie from my pc then nood na but im planing to get a 500Gb para di na ko mag cocopy plug and play lang sa usb slot wala pang talon talon wala kang iisiping gasgas sa dvd less clater pa.

oo nga palay guys sinu merong magic sing sainyo im palning to get a magic sing kaso ang tanong will it work with our 805PM i was thingking ill plug the video sa tv tapos audio out sa 805PM pwede kaya?

or isa pang iniisip ko optic cable from tv to Htib kaso problema i have no time to get a Optic cable baka may taga pasig dyan paheran naman hehehehe

Count me in as one of those having the same problem, and I'm using orig DVDs only. After watching about 30mins, it would stop and go to either the home menu of the DVD player or just a black screen with the player displaying either "Reading" or "No Disc". Then when I resume/restart the player to play the DVD again, it would play awhile then the problem persists. Upon resuming, the movie chugs a bit and audio becomes delayed.

Called up LG and they would send a technician by wednesday, I hope it could be fixed or replaced. Just noticed the problem now after having it more than a month already.

Any of you other owners experience this? Any updates on how'd you got yours fixed/replaced? ???

^ Guys, just an update. Been doing a bit of stress testing since Monday regarding the sudden exit to home "Reading"/"No Disc" problem of my HT805, as also experienced by some owners here. Am an original copy DVD user ever since that's why this really bothered me. Anyway, the error was consistent last monday with 3 DVD movies before I get to finish one full-run movie afterwards, which I called up for LG home service scheduled for today. But since yesterday, I'm not encountering them anymore. Been testing a number of movies, a couple even being p*rated and CD-R burned, but didn't encounter it anymore. Up to now, been running a couple more movies and I didn't get the error anymore. Since I have nothing to show for and the problem was still inconsistent, I called up LG to cancel/hold service for now.

If it helps, after running a movie from start to finish the first time after the problems I changed some settings at the Home menu. I turned DRC and Semi Karaoke to OFF (I guessed this was a scoring mechanism after the end of each chapters for Karaoke DVDs) since there was no use for this and might have affected during end of chapters (as defined in the manual for Karaoke DVDs at least). Anyway guys, will keep this thread posted if the problem comes back and becomes consistent before calling a LG service rep again.

How about the other owners who have this, still having problems? or experienced the same error for the first time but not always?

just download a video converter and convert your mp4 file.

I'll try your suggestion in turning DRC and Semi Karaoke to OFF for this problem is really bugging me for the past few days already. I bought mine last 1st week of Dec. and I encountered the same problem. I NEVER used pirated DVDs at all to this product.

What's really frustrating is when we are singing (videoke) and then biglang titigil...hay naku..

Any other thoughts from any member in this forum tungkol sa problem na to?

Yep, this is true. Check the user's guide. You'll find it there. Some speakers will have minimal sound or no sound at all. The speaker setting will be 2.1. Set it to BASS mode and all speakers will have great surround sound.

Guys does anyone know the remote button sequence to unlock region-free DVD playing capability of the HT805?

I tried playing my Fox DVD demo disc with my unit and I encountered Disc Error message.  :(

Sabi nga pala nung agent when I purchased it I would have to go to their service center to have it unlocked but for a fee of course.  :-\
