Have a 5th wheel with a Jensen DVD player causing me lots of frustration. When playing a DVD, it will freeze/stall, pushing the forward, reverse button will not work. The DVD has to be ejected and reinserted. I keep the DVD on fast forward, past the point of it sticking, to watch the DVD. I initially thought it was the DVD disk. I played the DVD in my home and there was no problem. Has anyone experienced this problem with the Jensen DVD equipment and if so, how did you fix the problem? I've been informed Jensen DVD/stereo systems are bottom of the list and should consider replacing it.

Jensen is generally considered junk. Get a Samsung, Sony, etc. Lots of good DVD players out there.

If you do decide to replace it. Get a Blu-Ray player, it will play both media, DVD & Blu-Ray.Sony, Samsung, etc.

Mine did the same thing. Take it out and see if all packing tape was removed. I put all my music on iPod so no longer use the CD player anyway.

If you change out the head unit, watch your ohms.

If you replace your Jensen with an auto unit that only has one or two speaker outputs, the signal can be split again using a speaker selector switch. There are a lot of them out there and Niles is one brand known to make a quality switch.

I don't know what year or features your system has and what outputs you need from the disc player. I needed to replace an older DVD player, so I went to Best Buy and purchased a BluRay player with a was brick, discarded the wall brick and went with a 12volt cable. The player I bought has only one HDMI output and so I bought a Splitter and cable for the rear TV. Often the DGKs are in back and want to watch the same thing we have playing up from, ergo the splitter and cable. There is a greater selection of players that use 120 volt but the simple one works great for us.
