Scheduled a timer recording of a program on a DVD+R and when I went to play it back all I got on the screen was noise and snow. I now realize that I used the wrong disc (should have used only DVD-R). After removing the disc, I still get the noise and snow and cannot record another program. However, I can play a movie from a commercial DVD.

Dear Friend...I have finally download your Recorder`s user manual..As I have propose on my first message your recorder can record from different sources but you must select the right source during programming of recording at the beginning .Recording variations for many types of programs or situations.Before recording Selecting a disc according to purposes of use (DVD-RAM/ DVD-R/RW)
Setting for recording on a DVDR/RW disc in Video mode;
a..Recording a TV program (To record a TV program or cable program with
recorder tuner.)
b. Recording an external source
c. Programing a recording
AT THE BEGINNING YOU HAVE TO Press INPUT SELECT repeatedly to select a recording source.
To record a TV program currently being broadcast, follow the procedures of this chapter.
Preparation
• Load a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc into the recorder.
- Load a disc which has sufficient space available to record the program.
- Make sure the loaded disc is not write-protected.
• If you record on a DVD-R or a DVD-RW disc, set "DVD compatible mode" ( page 33) to "Main" or "SAP." In DVD-R/RW recording, "Off" setting is regarded as "Main."
• If you record on a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc, set "Aspect ratio(Video mode)" ( page 33) according to recording sources.

IN CONCLUSION IF YOU PROPERLY SELECT THE RECORDING SOURCE AT THE BEGINNING YOU WILL SUCCEED TO COMPLETE THE RECORDING PROCESS..OTHERWISE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO RECORD ONLY NOISE AND SNOW ..
I HOPE IT HELPS...MY REGARDS..
If you need more help pls let me know for further advise.
