Additional: Frequently Asked Question about Redbox DVD Rentals
Q1: My Redbox rented DVD won't play, what should I do?
A: There's a couple of reasons why your DVD won't play:
1. Is it possible that you're trying to play a Blu-ray Disc in a standard DVD player? Blu-ray Discs will only play in Blu-ray compatible players. You can tell if it's a Blu-ray Disc because the downward-facing side of it will be blue instead of silver, and it'll have a Blu-ray logo on top.
2. It might be dirty or smudged. If so, please take a soft, lint-free cloth, and wipe gently in a straight line from the center of the disc to the edge. Only clean discs with a solution of water and mild detergent or rubbing alcohol. Never use abrasives, solvents or highly acidic cleansers.
