"baddisc" Shows "baddisc" when trying to play pre-recorded DVDs. Plays audio and recordable disks and records fine. No problems prior to that.

Check the sound setup to TV. Refer its user manual for details. Check whether the audio format to the recorded disc do match with to that of TVs.

have you checked if region code matches?
Also please let me know the exact model of your DVD Player

mine is the same, plays dvds, wont reconise any dvds to record, tried r, rw and ram..the biggest load of rubbish!
did you solve the problem?

Try a different brand of blank dvd+r or -r. you will find that your dvd machine is fussy on what discs it plays. More exspensive dvd players are fussy with what dvd discs you put in, as cheaper dvd players would virtualy play most types of dvds.

Most likely has developed a problem with the laser pick up it would probably be cheaper to replace. Julio [email protected]

Take, if good  batteris from the remote controller and recycel the unit, and by a better one. I have the  same problem, recordings will stay on the dvd only a short thime readable and later the disk is empty.
Sorry my english.

I have the same recorder. Have you tried sony discs? They work fine for me when other brands dont.

Tyr using -r dvds ,,,,,that might resolve your problems

This dvd player doesnt' play HD DVD's it has a HDD which is short for Hard Drive. Which means you can use it like a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) to record your favorite shows and things like that.

Does this answer your question? If not i'm not sure what you're trying to ask could you be a little more elaborate?

Do the DVDs work in a computer?
