  If your Samsung DVD Drive isn't reading discs, ensure that the system detects the drive and that the LED indicator is blinking. Verify that you're using a disc type supported by the drive and that you've inserted the disc with the label facing up. Use the correct program to play the disc, and make sure the disc is clean. Check the drive for congealing and confirm that the region code of the drive matches the region code of the disc.
