Disc Problem, Will not Format? I have tried three brands of DVD+R Discs and the machine will not format them?

I had a Sony DVD Recorder to VHS model RDR-VX535 which would record on Verbatim DVD-R 16X or DVD-R 8X speed. I managed to transfer only 5 home movie tapes to Verbatim DVD-R 16X or 8X speeds. Then the machine wouldn't work anymore. The Sony technician told me I needed to get more 8X discs, which was not true. 16X worked fine. The quality of the machines is not dependable. I sent it back to be restored to factory condition, got it back and it had the same problem with which I started. Fortunately, Costco gave me my money back. Memorex discs didn't work. S. M. Cox So maybe try Verbatim discs. Good luck.

I have the same problem. Played about 10 or so DVD's so far and it quit working...first it would play 1min23sec just fine and then freeze, now I get the same message as you "NO DISC". I called Coby Customer Service and spent 53 minutes on hold, when I finally talked to someone they told me to try a DVD cleaning disc and when I asked if that didn't work they said they couldn't do anything for me.....VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE...and obviously A LOT of people are calling in!!!! I am just about to toss this thing in the garbage and never purchase anything from Coby again.

Check your DVD players manual. It will tell you which format, either DVD + or DVD - if in doubt buy DVD - as it will play in most DVD players.

Windows XP and Windows 7 will let you format a standard DVD+R disc and make it read write. After it is formatted you can read make changes to file and write back to the disc. I don't know if this is the same as buying DVD-R/W disc, but it works.

I am disappointed to discover that some of my DVD+ discs recorded with DVDShrink do not play well on this machine--on some discs there is severe pixalation and others simply will not play at all. However, inexplicably, some computer-burnt DVD+ discs DO work ok. Go figure. On an older Phillips DVD player (about 5 yrs. old) all of my DVDShrink-burned DVD+ discs worked flawlessly.

Sharp tells me that they have problems with Warner Bros discs and are working on new firmware to fix the problem. A Warner Bros marketing person in LA sent me a Harry Potter Blu-Ray to test, and it too was rejected as incompatible. The player handles old DVDs and those I make myself. But then we have you and others who've posted and tell me that Planet Earth is fine on their Aquos player. So maybe the problem is the unit. I'll eventually find out and let everyone know.

Only thing I can think of is the recorder. Try using a different recorder. Did the recorder close and finalized the dvd. Some people leave it open to add to dvd later. These are not the disk for that. Check your recorder settings and make sure it closes and finalize dvd.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

I have the same experience as you. the manual clearly states that it will not play DVD+R or DVD+RW, but I have had no problem playing either.

The system wouldn't read a disc at all, so I just bought a new system. I have yet to take a look at what the real problem might be.

I would suspect the DVD writer. Have you tried any other +R's (different brand) on this writer? Have you tried -R's on the writer. I keep both handy and use them both. Reason is that sometimes the readers out there "prefer" one medium over the other. So I can cut both on my writer but where I play it matters as well.
