The Jensen MVB85 overhead DVD player provides on-the-road viewing in an automobile. As convenient as the MVB85 can be, there are some problems that users experienced with several of the device's features, most of which can be fixed on your own. The MVB85 hit the market in 2006 and, at the time of publication, is no longer in production.
Laser
If you experience the player failing to read a DVD after inserting the disc into the device, take the DVD out and reinsert it to see if it will play. Sometimes, the disc may not be inserted fully and the machine then fails in its attempts to read the disc. If this doesn't work, there's a chance the MVB85's laser connection is not fully intact. If you're comfortable disassembling electronics devices, do so and look for the MVB85's laser connection. Once found, make sure the connection is securely in place.
Double Discs
The Jensen MVB85 DVD player supports only one DVD at a time; if someone stuffs two discs into the device, one disc may play properly but you may not be able to get either of the discs to eject. If you find yourself in this predicament, consult the owner's manual to locate the device's emergency eject hole, which will force the player's drive to eject its contents. Typically, devices of this kind contain a tiny hole through which a straightened paper clip will fit to activate the device's emergency eject feature.
Region Code
If you receive an "Incorrect Region Code" error message on the Jensen MVB85 DVD player when attempting to view a DVD, this problem involves the device's region code setting, which enables it to play DVDs intended for playback in certain parts of the world. In the United States, all DVD players must by law be set to read Region 1 discs. Access the MVB85's region code setting by making sure the player does not contain a DVD in its drive, then power the device on through its remote control. When the blue screen appears with the DVD logo, enter the number code "9653" into the remote control. This process reveals a hidden menu from which you can access the MVB85's region code setting menu. Setting this option to Region 1 should resolve this type of problem.
Radio Frequencies
The Jensen MVB85 DVD player contains an FM receiver that allows you to listen to a DVD's audio content through the car speakers on specific FM radio frequencies. If the player is not tuned to the proper station, you will not be able to hear the disc's audio content. Consult the device's owner manual to determine which radio frequencies are assigned to your device.
