There really should be something on it identifying the make and model - check the underneath. Assuming you;ve tried various discs to eliminate chance its just a dodgy disc, it will be the lens either dirty or misaligned, I think. If you bought it new it shouldn't be dirty. If you bought it from a store either new or used you should just take it back. You can get lens cleaners from places like WIlkinsons and Debenhams for under $10 but I cant recommend them too strongly - bit hit and miss in my experience. If cleaning doesn't work it will likely be a repair job or bin it - it wont be anything to do with settings or that you're doing anything wrong (unless putting the disc in upside down or something!), so unless a lens cleaner works, you're only option would be to have it repaired. If you knew make and model you might find diy repair instructions on internet but I'd suggest unless you're quite handy it's not easy. I have had a number of cheap dvd players over the years and it does seem to be an area where you get what you pay for - they've generally been unreliable and in some cases had an extremely short life.

Could it be the wrong type of disc or a disc that has been produced on a computer and not finalised or maybe a dirty laser/faulty disc motor?

Note that you should plug the A/V out of the tv to the A/V in of the recorder. Please tell me whats the make and model of the tv and the recorder so that I can suggest the best way to do it
