Is the disc supposed to spin when the projector is on? Mine doesn't...

The disk should not really spin, but turn very slowly. You may need to close the door at the back more tightly. If you look inside while you're closing it, you'll see a little "peg" rising inside. It should start turning (slowly). My first soundspa was quite random as to whether or not it would work. I would have to try opening and closing the back door several times before it would catch and start up. This second soundspa works all the time.

I dont think it is caused by color wheel, it could be dirt on your projection lense. The wheel spins so fast that it will not generate any spots.

I have not had any problem with this projector. may be due to some compatibility reasons you get the rainbow effect. Check using other video sources. if the problem persists you seriously have some compatibility issue.

Funny you should ask Peter. I've been trying for over three weeks, to figure out how to get the DVD player to do anything. Obviously I'm not the one they should have guided you to. Sorry.

When I first set up my projector I used an inferior 35' HDMI cable and I had this problem with some components in my system. For instance, the DVD player would sync fine but the bluray would not, or if and when it did work it had a lot of speckles. If I used a shorter cable it would work fine. I upgraded my cable run with a higher quality cable and now it syncs every time. However, I do notice when switching components through the HDMI switcher in my receiver that some still take longer than others for the projector to connect and sync. So, I suspect it has more to do with the individual component's HDMI output power than any fault with the projector.

Does the Samsung dvd player make a strange grinding sound when attempting to load dvd's? I'm thinking my unit is broken. Also, it keeps rejecting the dvd so that does not work at all.

Did you try turing on the DVDO, first ? Then turn on the rest in sequence - (1) DVDO (2) Projector (3) AV-Receiver (4) DVD Player... Something like that?

I think this is normal. All HD-DVD and Bluray players have a delay in spitting out the disc tray and playing. Some mentioned the latest firmware update should speed it up a little. But don't worry about it being faulty becuase they are all like that.

when you put the disc in, make sure the disc lays flat - if it is at an angle or crooked, it won't shoot...

Should turn on regardless of input hookup. It's it plugged in to good power outlet? If plugged in ready to go, you should have red LED on power button. It turns green when starting up. If you have neither, you have no power to the projector. If you get green LED but no projection, you have a setup issue (refer to manual) or a defective projector.

The one I purchased for my projector did not work. I ended returning it. I had to contact Optima and still haven't heard from them....

I tried it - when I stopped playing of DVD, switch off and again switch on (no open of disc) then it started to play when I finished before. It is sufficient reply? Roman

I have the older version of this player and mine does that quite often, too. Not necessarily when I am playing DVDs, but when I am playing movies off of my hard drive. I have found no solution. SO frustrating.

You have to flip the projector up side down. If it doesn't line up after trying it a few different ways then you got the wrong mount. (it took me a minute to figure it out)

Yes, the one I bought is running on it's side with no problems. In fact, the DVD/CDRW drive is sideways, for that reason it makes more sense to run it sitting on it's side than standing up. As some of the other answers point out, outside of the DVD player orientation, it looks like it was made to stand up.

Have not had that problem. If the one suggestion about repositioning the projector did not help then the rotating disc that creates the stars may be defective.
