I have a Liteon lvw5045 hdd +dvd recorder and I suspect that the device (a laser?) which prepares blank dvd discs for recording and pre-recorded dvd discs for playback is not functioning although it will play cd discs. Can you advise where I can purchase a replacement please Regards Ian Hall

SOURCE: LG vs Lite On

both are just the same features just to write file from your hard drive. Maybe your point is you want the video from your VHS tapes will transfer to your hard drive. The only way to copy the video from your VHS is you need an external VHS player at the same time it will record the running video to a soft copy.

Please check this maybe this will be helpful http://www.allformp3.com/dvd-copy-software/convert-vhs-to-dvd.htm

Please rate me solve if you like my solution.

Best regards,

SOURCE: LiteOn LVC - 9016G dvd recorder Problem.

throw it in the trash- I got 1 from costco, liked it so much, bought another a week later. First one started giving me the "invalid" msg, 2nd one did the same 1 wk later, so I guess they're programmed to do so after so many hours after being plugged in. Too bad, cuz it was the easiest to use of 5 previous models I tried. Their easyguide onscreen menu was the greatest, plus the status of time, pause & recording indicator, which you could turn on or off as needed, were very useful.
A real shame to have to throw in the trash. Won't ever buy another thing from them.

SOURCE: Liteon 5045 problem in playing normal movie DVD's

The DVD drives are very unreliable and just get more temperamental with age. I replaced mine with a Lite-On SOHW-1213S. The DVD is too big to fit in the old ones place so it sits on top of the unit with the cable going through the slot, but it works brilliantly.

Why does not the philips dvdr3480 record?

I would start with the dvd format used for recording, the simplest being dvd+r and dvd-r. Does the unit play a pre-recorded dvd and/or cd? If not, the laser assembly would be the first suspect. The delay in reading discs can be a sign of a borderline laser. Is your record overwrite function turned on, this overwrites previous material when starting each new recording when using +-rw discs. Verify if a format is required for the type of disc used for recording, page 45. Is the correct country/region selected?

Liteon dvd recorder lvw1101 starts reading the dvd then says it preparing the disc then it ejects it

The Optical head unit is faulty. The disc is not being read by the head unit laser and so conveys a wrong message which ejects the cd.
Replace the optical head unit assembly but with the correct procedure.

My Samsung DVD-HR753 will not recognise any of the blank discs I am using including DVD-RW. I've tried Panasonic, Logitec, HP Lightscribe and Datawrite but no joy. I'm trying to record from the HDD to DVD....

It looks to me to be an old machine as I see listings for that model in 2006, now there could be a few reasons firstly it may need a firmware update which will enable it to "recognise discs" made later than it (service engineer).
The laser may be poor, playing is less stressful than recording or it may need a general service, their mechanisms and/or optic slides get dusty sticking to old lubricant slowing response times so the machine goes into "timeout" or just gives up, some have rubber belts which stretch.
It comes down to cost of repair versus new one? you could try a lens cleaner disc (a disc with a bit of fuzz stuck on it) but I have found these have varied sucess and a service clean is better with a suitable liquid.

Hope this helps.........

My Liteon LVW-1105HC DVD recorder starts to prepare the blank disc but when it reaches 21% of preparring disc it ejects the disc

I had the same problem, I had to open up the covers (including the one covering the lens) and clean the lens with a soft cloth. Please be very careful while cleaning the lens since it is very delicate and any damage would permanently disable read/writes.

Unit will play pre-recorded dvd's but when trying to record on any blank dvd disc it say's read then preparing and then invaid disc ?

Older DVD players (as well as some lower end products) will not play computer recorded disks. Another option may be which DVD are you recording on. DVD+R or DVD-R. Some players will only play one version. (usually -R I believe). Or could be a problem with youtr authoring program. Try a different program and/or type of DVD Recordable disk.

Can't read blank DVD for recording / can't transfer film from HD to dvd

I presume at this stage you have tried a different type of dvd disc and not just the one type and you are using the correct format dvdr for your machine.If you have tried all this it could be the laser,but make sure you try everthing else before replacing optic assy.
