You must finalize the DVD on the Toshiba before it can be read on any other DVD player. Before finalization, it is possible to still add content to the DVD using the Toshiba but afterwards it will not be possible.
To quote from Features on page 8 of the DVR620KU manual under Compatibilities...
Although DVD+RW/+R are playable on other units without finalization in most cases, it is recommended to finalize in order to stabilize the performance.
Page 32 of the DVR620KU manual titled PLAYING THE DISCS IN OTHER DVD PLAYERS lists the needed steps for finalization and also briefly describes the finalization process as follows...
You will need to finalize discs to play back on other DVD players. Finalizing may take several minutes up to an hour. Since the process of the finalization fills empty space of the disc, a shorter recording period on the disc will require a longer time period for finalization. Do not
unplug the power cord during finalization.
Regarding finalization - The 2nd part of my previous note points to page 32 of the manual which describes the steps. On your hand-held remote control, do the following steps... 1. Press (SETUP), 2. Use up/down to select "DVD Menu" then press Enter - the "DVD Menu" menu will appear, 3. Use up/down to select "Finalization", then press Enter., 4. Use up/down to select "Yes" then press Enter. 5. Finalization is complete (you must wait for this message).

It is a possibility that the DVD players that you are using do not accept burned media. I would look into that first. The DVD player specification must say that they are DVD+R compatible.
