Kaleidescape Field Troubleshooting Guide - Issues with Importing

Troubleshooting Import Issues

 
ProblemProbable CauseSolution
Blu-ray disc or CD fails to import (possibly ejecting). .1. Disc is not a Blu-ray disc or CD, contains computer data, or was inserted with label down. 

IMPORT tab message: “Disc is not a music CD” or “Disc is not a Blu-ray disc or music CD”.
Verify that the disc is a movie or album and the label is face up in the tray. On a Premiere system sold by Kaleidescape on or after November 30th 2014, CSS-protected DVDs cannot be imported. However, they can be cataloged so they appear in the onscreen user interface just like imported content and titles downloaded from the Kaleidescape Movie Store. For more information, visit CSS-Protected-DVD-FAQs
Testing the failed disk in another Kaleidescape device can help determine if the problem is the physical disc or the optical drive in the component.
2. Disc has already been imported
