How can I finalize DVD for playback on other players?

SOURCE: Won't play DVD+Rs

By mentioning that your disks are finalized, I am thinking that you are not creating the DVD in the proper manner. For DVD's to play back on commercial equipment, they have to either be authored, created from a ISO file, or cloned, bypassing the copy protection imbedded in many titles. Do a Google search on DVD authoring or cloning to learn how to sucessfuly create DVD's that will play back on your home player.

Not spinning disc
If it spins with a little help from yourself replace the spindle motor with improved motor, part number: RXQ0749A
Unable to detect discs
The laser head was the culprit. Replacing it fixed the problem. (Laser head code GRP6278A)
Difficulty reading cd, if it does read the sound is strange and sticks
Replace C101 (1000uF/16v)

You have to finalize the dvd's through the menu... from page 36 of the manual....on the remote control press SETUP use the arrow key to select "DISC EDIT" press OK Use the arrow key to select FINALIZE press OK. A confirmation window appears, use the arrow to select YES and press OK.
