Never had the issue in Pod. But have had issues with drives in past. Does it attempt to spin (read) then eject or just eject no spin. You could try a discwasher disc the unit may be dirty or have an obstruction. Sounds like it is new, did it ever work?

Was it a blue ray? Can't read those and will spit them out.

It is brand new r pod.  When you put in the disk it does not sound like it is spinning after a few seconds it ejects the disc.  I have read that there is a transport screw in the back that needs to be removed. It should of been removed during installation.

Just a dvd not a blueray

I had the same issue. Removed the unit from the wall (four screws). Then removed the screw on top that says something like "remove screw before installing". Solved my issue of spitting out the disc.

+1.  Remove the faceplate. You'll see the sticker that says to remove this screw. Works perfectly. Easy peasy.

I took out the unit from the wall and there was the RED sticker to remove the transport screw before installation.  I removed the screw and now it works.  It looks like many have had the same problem.  If only the factory workers could follow instructions.Confused
