Sony RDR-GX315 DVD Recorder. Error message: "The disk can be neither played nor recorded"

I have a Sony RDR-GX315 DVD Recorder. Sometimes at the conclusion of finalizing the disk, the tray opens and a message is displayed on the TV stating "The disk can be neither played nor recorded". This has happened when recording movies from cable tv and home movies from a camcorder. What is the cause and how can I prevent this?

Which blank media do you have?
Check out CDFREAKS.com forum
Does your burner prefer + or- disks?
Try a slower burn speed
Try a different blank media.
Don't buy the cheapest disks

I have good results with Verbatum, Taiyo Yunden (Fuji)

Turn off recorder. Hold the on/off button on the dvd player for a few seconds. until "CHILD LOCK" disappears. The child lock is now disengaged...Check page 37 in the manual (I found it online -- same thing happened to my player -- I just freed it)

SOURCE: Sony DVD RECORDER/PLAY WON'T PLAY

Dvd players are only made to last a couple of years(the laser goes bad).If you play scratched disc's it won't last that long.Hopefully you didn't pay alot for the player,and if you did then you can get the laser repaired but its expensive.I usually wait until the things go on sale and pick one up for 20 or 30 dollars.When the laser burns out after repeated use I just buy a new one because fixing them is more expensive and unless you want to continue having problems its easier to buy new.These guys that put alot of money in these units are just wasting their money.

SOURCE: connecting and recording sony hdtv, rdr-hx780 recorder,sony dream system

I have the same system, except for the TV, I have a project (that part doesn't matter).

From your Sat. go straight to your AV receiver
Again from you Sat. (all of the AV outputs are all live), go out from either 1 or 2 and go to your recorder Line 1 in.
From you AV receiver go to your TV.

All you have to do is hit record and you will record whichever channel you are on. I am having difficulty getting it set up as a PVR, but will figure it out sooner or later.

Hope this helped.

SOURCE: Sony RDR-GX315 DVD 3 problem

sounds like your laser is getting weak. repair is usually not economical. laser is about 90% the cost of the unit. hope this helps if it still plays but not record. keep it as strictly playback unit.

Discs I have recorded I get the disc can neither be played nor recorder, and it erases what I have already and already watched.

I have the same unit. Similar problem but mine does not erase the disc. It says disc error on almost all dvd that are store bought and kicks them out. Will play almost all of the ones I recorded on it and finalized. I must let a disc in it at all times or door will not open. Lots of bad stuff on the net about this unit. It is a lemon! Mine is out of warranty and sony wants $175 to fix. Saw some blogs where it was serviced 3 times and still not right. Buy a new one before investing in the unit you have as there are many gremlins in it! Sorry I cannot offer specific help but this is where I am at!!

Disk reading

2 questions her 2 problems 2 answers. 1.Recording The machine is probably fussy about the type and brand of blank disk it will work with. Check your manual and sample several brands 2. Playing the burned disk you wish play if from another device has to be finalized in the burner machine.
