DVD Player not reading DVDs correctly

[JohnJ46]

DVDs are initially recognized but when start  playing only play to the menu then you are unable to set any options. All dvd's that have been tried are all propriety DVDs. Have tried an external usb CD DVD Drive this makes no difference. Have checked the DVD CD -Rom drives which are up to date.

Any Ideas please?

Hello, thank you for your reply, I have tried your solution, unfortunately it has not improved the problem. It seems that the problem is with certain DVDs, which is odd because all my DVDs are proprietary brands, no cheapies or copies. All the problem ones play okay on my Panasonic DVD player. 
Thank you again for your reply. 
kind regards.

Thanks for keeping me posted.

Since the issue is only with certain DVDs then the DVD Drive Hardware Functionality is fine
