Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Recorder/VCR Logo
Posted on Nov 12, 2007

Sylvania DVR9OVF I can not even find this model # listed. When I put in a new DVD it says on the screen "Disc Error, Play back feature may not be available on this disc." If I put in an old DVD it works fine. What is that all about.

    WILL NO LONGER PLAY DVD COMPATIBLE MOVIES. IT ONCE WORKED FINE, NOW ALL I GET IS THIS ERROR MESSAGE

    "Disc Error, Play back feature may not be available on this disc."

    Same problem worked fine for awhile. Has very low hour usage on it. I have cleaned the disk several times. Once in about 10 attempts it will play the video. Piece of junk!

    I keep getting error code 4 when trying to record to a DVD. It took 5 blank discs to finally get it to work. It's hit or miss and lately, more misses than hits. I contacted Sylvania and all they had to offer was for me to try cleaning it so I tried that but it did not help. This is the last Sylvania I buy!

    I can't get mine to recognize the disk anymore. It won't let me play or format a disk. Looks like I'm stuck with 200 2x disks and an expensive anchor.

You have the wrong number model. The model number is not DVR9OVF.... It is DVR9OVE. I have the same problem. I called the 800 number because I buaght a 50 pack of dvd's at Office Depot (Ativa Reg. $29.99 GREAT SALE PRICE FOR $9.99)and it gave me an error "disk is not recordable" E24. They told me this dvd supports a limited dvd disk brand....Maxell, Memorex, TDK, JVC, and Sony, so I am returning them to the store. I know Sony does work because I used those before.

Brand new tv with built in DVD player when you insert a DVD, it just pops right back out and will not play the disc

Hello there,

I believe you need to switch the TV to the DVD input mode before inserting a disc. There should be a button on the remote or the TV labelled INPUT or SOURCE. Try pressing this repeatedly until "DVD" is shown on the screen or use the UP/DOWN arrows keys on the remote to select DVD from the input list, then press OK / SELECT / ENTER to choose DVD mode. You should then be able to insert a disc and play it.

I need to check some details for this TV and will get back to you shortly. If the TV really wont accept any disc, then you've bought a lemon and the TV needs to be returned to the store for replacement asap. I will post back with more details below in a few minutes.

Regards,
BElectric

If you are lucky; Sylvania is a branch of Funai which is the 'bottom of the barrel' on quality so it may be just another case of Funai-ism.
Other brands belonging to Funai:
Symphonic, Emerson, Aventura, Durabrand, ESA, Magnavox, INSIGNIA, Philips and Misakai
I earned part of my income from servicing consumer electronics some years ago and historically, Funai gear has been among the worst built.

Disc error "playback feature may not be available on this disc"

the message you are getting is the machines waay of telling you that it can not read that disc. which means you will have to burn your discs in a different format. or your are using a type of disc it does not recognize.

Disc Error:

Take it back to the store if its new or if you bought a warranty and trade it for a new one. If not try calling an electronic store and ask them if they know whats wrongs with it. Be sure to read the instruction manuel for a support phone number and call there too.
