Rca dvd/vcr dual recorder, wont play dvd

Make sure that the DVD Disc is of the format that your DVD recorder can read. For example, if your recorder specifically requires a DVD -R type disk, it will puke on a DVD +R disk.

my remote wont work recorder

have you tried or have you been using a laser lens cleaning disc ?
if not then the glass lens will need to be manually cleaned with a q-tip and lens cleaning solution

Bad Disc.

Try a known good store bought Movie in player?

Still Bad Disc?

DVD unit in your player is bad.

Throw in garbage.

In the manual there is a list of discs the unit wil play. On the last pages there is a quick reference. There are also region codes that need to be set. Maybe a power outage reset your settings. Also it would be good to know if this unit played disc previously, plays other disks? Or the discs play on other players. It could just be a dirt problem as well.

uncompatable disk?if not try cleaning the lens of the player by using a cd/dvd lens cleaner...the cd thing with the two brushes stuck onto it...with some cleaning fluid

Aquarius0128 there are two things to consider here.. dvd's recorded on a computer need to be closed/finalized after you have recorded onto them in order to be used on a stand alone player.. they will play ok on original recorder because of the design of these machines finalizing prepares the structure of the disc so it can be recognised by other players as a dvd video disc.. you will usually see a 'finalize disc' option in your recording program

Second issue is this.. even if finalized an older (or even some modern) stand alone players will not recognise a recorded disc made on a computer or even if it can there are different formats DVD+R DVD-R and even DVD-RAM and DVD-RW (the two latter ones are rarely recognised outside a computer)

error in any disk i put in!!!!!!!!!

This just worked for me. Don't know how long it will last though. I found it on this webpage

To do a reset:
On the remote control press the SETUP button,
Press the right key on the remote 3 times,
The Preference page will show up,
Press the down arrow five time to highlight
"default", hit right arrow to highlight "reset"
Press enter to reset. Turn off/on machine, etc.

Where can you find the 1-2X DVD, I have only been able to find 1-4X and none of these work.
