I have tried a lot of different discs but it says the same thing each time so it can't be the discs.

Were all of the discs the same kind, or are we to assume you tried various commercially recorded DVDs?
If you tried a known working DVD and it says "no disc" and there is no trouble shooting guide answer to your particular model (which you could find on-line at the manufacturer's website, if you cannot find your manual), then it is time to buy another DVD player. They are so cheap, that nobody repairs them around where I live.
If it is a more expensive one, I would still check about repair costs. Even better, see if it is still under warranty.
You may try unplugging it and re-plugging it 30 seconds later to reset it. Go through the setup menu and make sure it is properly set up for your Video/TV setup. You may even try different input choices to see if that clears whatever glitch it is encountering.
It would be easier to answer this question if the model was mentioned, as various player/recorders have a more elaborate setup that may be needed. I guess we are to assume it used to work and has just recently acquired Alzheimer's or some other bug?

It may be just time to replace your DVD player if you didn't invest too much money into it. If you have an expensive player, have it repaired or cleaned professionally, otherwise it would be in your best interest to upgrade the unit.
It is possible that your DVD player's laser has been missaligned and therefore is no longer reading discs.

Some of the DIY means of troubleshoot would be to clean the DVD player drive bay, check the disc itself, and make sure all connections are done correctly.
On the other hand, many times the disc and the player itself are incompatible with each other. Pirated discs from Asia for example usually would not work on typical DVD players in America. In the end, the problem usually lies with the software, not the hardware. Even a average DVD player is reliable these days, but it's just a matter of that disc.

try a different DVD player and a disc that is known to work on a 2nd one. If it plays, in the 2nd then DVD player needs cleaning/repair

You should check to see it the DVD your trying to play is not scratched beyond recognition. If you disc is fine, you should unplug you DVD player from the wall and your TV. Take it outside set in the middle of the street. Get a chair. Sit down and watch as the cars passing by slowly relieve you frustrations. My DVD player does the same thing. So I got the stupid remote for my ancient X box and watch my DVDs on that instead.

Clean it and if that doesn't work get a new one.
DVD's are like $30-00 these days.

You have a talking DVD player.. wow.. lol.. Try cleaning the lens with white spirits or alcohol.. Try switching it off by the plug and then on again... Try a different disk to see if it is indeed the player or the disk at fault..

try cleaning it- if that dont work i would just buy another because repairing it will probably cost more to repair than to buy new one
