Says disc error or dirty disc, even when brand new disc. will not record anything.
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!!

You can delete titles on a DVD+/-R, but it will not free up disc space. These are not "rewritable (RW)" disks.
To reuse discs, start with a DVD +/-RW. Be sure to format it "VR," not "Video."

Try using a lens cleaning disc (any brand). You'll find them at Wal-Mart in the electronics section, or even in your grocery store, probably near the cameras.

Ok you might need to have it cleaned professionaly worse comes to worse have the lens replaced, something ether got on the lens or the laser is not reading or writing correctly. Can it be fixed? Sure depning on the problem inside I could not tall you 100 p[ercent as I have not looked at the unit.
You might want to take a gander inside and see if the lends is not dirty.

Reportedly, the WR/R drives that Sony installed in these and other similar models have a technical defect. They will work for about a year or so of moderate use and then start having problems reading the disk. Eventually they quite working entirely. Internally the drive is removable and looks somewhat like any other computer DVD drive. Unfortunately you can not just replace it with a standard drive from your local Best Buy store. It is a proprietary drive with a special cable and firmware on the motherboard specifically intended to work with their own equipment. If you contact Sony tech support they WILL NOT sell you a new drive. They don't allow consumers to repair their stuff, you have to send it in to their service center where they can charge you up the wazoo to fix it. When one of these units dies the best solution is to go on line and find a refurbished unit to replace it. New ones are about impossible to find because they are being discontinued, and buying a "used" one will be questionable since it already has who knows how many hours of use on it already and will just develope the same problem. A refurbished and repackaged unit will be the same as new but with a factory replaced drive.
