I encountered the same c:13:00 error with this Sony DVD player as others have on this page. My player is about two years old and past the warranty period. I contacted Sony tech. support, explained the error and that I'd seen it listed on several web pages, and Sony fixed the player free of charge. I was down on Sony after reading about this known problem, but their service was friendly and quick (less than two weeks). If you're encountering this problem, I suggest contacting Sony. I was impressed.

Looks good sitting with your other stereo equipment. Impresses your friends into think you have more (working) stereo equipment than you really do.

Very light, so it does not work well as a door stop.

I found it odd that it started displaying the C 13 00 after only having the unit for about 9 months. I assumed it was because most all DVD's I watched were from NetFlix and I just happened to get scratched ones or whatnot. Well this became progressively worse until a year later, when it would read NO DVD's whatsoever, not even ones BRAND SPANKIN NEW! Call me crazy, but isn't paying $250 for a "supposedly" high quality product a little over the top when you only get 1 to 2 years of ERRATIC use out of it before it is completely useless?? Well because my family likes to watch DVD's, I was forced to go out and buy another player, and I can guarantee you it wasn't a SONY unit (Panasonic). This was several months ago , and now I am stuck with a dead unit that would probably cost more to repair than I can go buy an equivilent one for. Doesn't Sony realize that we will all be spreading negative word-of-mouth about their products, based on experience? A lot of people ask me for advice when it comes to home audio/video and electronics. I hope something happens with this. Count me in on the class-action.

This player worked great for two years and then started the C13:00 error some many of these folks have spoken about with some discs. Then it was all disks and now it says there are no disks present when you put either a CD or DVD in it. My suggestion is to buy from another manufacturer. I have bought SONY for 15 years and I can't believe I am saying this but the latest DVD and CDs are not reliable.

Works great until the warranty expires.

Unable to watch movies, skips and stops when able to watch movies. Sometimese unable to forward through.

I barely used the DVD and now that its out of warranty it's broken. When I attemp to watch a DVD I get "No Disc" or the C:13 error. This DVD player sucks.

NONE: I can't even say I enjoyed a movie on it!

Everything, and I paid $300 for it! It always stopped right at the good part of the movie!

DVP S360-I used it about 6 times and then I got a "C13" error and "NO Disc." After months of frustration and cleaning discs, stopping and starting movies, it finally quit and I can't play any DVD now. It's been in the repair shop for 9 months now and I have to pay $200 to fix it, not to mention the $50 I've already paid for them to do part of the work. I now have a glorified CD player, but it needs a new laser to play DVD's. I'd be better off buying a new one, but not a Sony!

It was great while it worked - a short life though.

About 2 years old DVD player and "NO DISC" sign comes up. I have slowly replaced "SONY" products in my house with either Hitachi, or Toshiba, or Panasonic. I think it is time of think of "Sony" as the "AUDIO/VIDEO GM Corp." - once a great company on its way down. I say, stay away from "Sony" products. I just read some of the 528 reviews and I wish I had read it before I bought my DVD player. Nostalgia is an expensive hobby and unless you are rich I suggest stay away from Sony products - no joke!!!

bphhphttthahahahaha

c:13:00; No Disc

I can't believe I bought this for $10 more than a Toshiba or Panasonic at the time because I trusted the name S-O-N-Y. PT Barnum was right... What is the deal with gttlawyers.com class action suit? anyone?

I had this s360 for almost three years and always have the c13:00 problem, and the skipping and freezing. it always waits till im in the middle of a good movie too. Im this close to tossing it, it still works now and then if it feels like it, but i definately won't be getting a sony again.

FYI: I disassembled my s360 to try the Ben Morris fix. I have MB-86 board, and the fuse was not blown, and the two resistors were both 82K (the correct value). I jumpered the fuse anyway, and it didn't fix the problem. Anyone need a doorstop? Maybe I'll hold onto it a while longer to see if the class action ever happens.

Picture & sound quality is pretty good when it works

Well it's a lemon - what can I say?

I bought this player (dps360) about 20 months ago. It worked fine most of the time, although there were some C13 problem on and off - I thought it's just my discs. But now it just died a couple of days ago (showing no disc all the time), I tried clean it up as the manual said but it's no use. I was somewhat a SONY fan before (got a sony tv and a video camera), I guess not any more... Anyway I will probably open the thing up myself - not that I know how to fix it but more out of curiosity since it is out of warranty anyway.
