I have purchased the dvd-r maxell disks the owners manual recommends but I keep geting the error message "Can not record on this disc" Please help.
I had this problem and found by chance that if you format the dvd in you computer first it will then work, don't know why, as not at all a techi, but it works so i do it.
In many devices, DVD-R and/or DVD-RW discs do not work. You must use DVD+R or DVD+RW discs. Good luck!

The Error Message Code is E 4 54040990. I've just started troubleshooting this. I will report back anything I find.
1) Tried disk that I previously recorded on.
2) Tried new clean disk.
3) Unplugged unit and rebooted
Nothing has worked yet...
I am having the same problem and am using dvd+r disks! Now what?
Initial solution posted below does not help me: I, too, got this error
message starting about a week after purchasing the item. I use new
DVD+RW discs and get the same message. Disc brand doesn't matter.
Company's e-mail technical service center has been totally
unresponsive. I've waited about seven months trying to get it
resolved... What now?
I GET ERROR MESSAGE E-25 OR E 4 54039000 CAN NOT RECORD ON OR TO THIS DISC ,,,I'VE TRIED ALL DISC ON THE MARKET AND EVEN THE MINI DISC.....WILL THE FACTORY OR TECHS FIX OR REPLACE THIS PRODUCT OR GVE ME STEP BY STEP INTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ..THANKS FALICIA
I have recorded on disk and then wanted to add another recording and it would tell me I can not record on that disk.
I have recorded on disk and then try to edit by adding title and after it had recorded the movie it tells me I can't record to disk when it tries to write the title.
I have recorded movie, edited title and then when I try to finalize it I get the message that I can not record to disk.
I have called them for help and wasted about 20 minutes on the phone only to be told that it was probably just a glitch.
Magnavox has lost a very loyal customer.
Disk won't format. I am using Maxell DVD+RW.
