I have a hunch that putting in a normal DVD title has somehow locked up the unit... it seems too much of a coincidence otherwise. I can't see any warning of this anywhere.
Any thoughts would be much appeciated as I don't really want to fork out £300 for a replacement mech.
Many thanks

Regular DVDs as you have found out do not work in this DVD-ROM player as there is no software or hardware to decode regular DVD discs. That's why you got a error message.
When you tried cleaning it the brushes on the disc cleaner may have knocked the laser.
TIP: conventional CD/DVD brush cleaners won't work in the disc changer as these discs usually contain data (as music or a video) to work which the changer cannot interpret in order to start the cleaning program. If you need to clean it I use a few blasts of an airduster or it's mor serious I'd recommend removing the unit and getting it serviced by a specialist.
Anyway, I'd clean your DVD RTI discs with a disc cleaner and dry thoroughly (remember to wipe from the centre outwards in straight radial lines). Then try again, it may take a few minutes for the changer to read the discs so leave it running.
If this still fails then pull the fuses for the RTI to see if it can reset it.
Failing that, you'll have to get the changer checked out. Whoops...
Hope that helps.
