-   Same problem. I use Magnavox to play and dub to DVD. Some recorded DVD-R disc will read to other players - some will not. All discs have been finalized, and all will read to play on the Magnavox. It's very frustrating. If I insert the disc again and re-finalize, I get a message that it cannot be done. I'm wasting a lot of DVDs and a lot of time. HELP! -   searcy

-   Did you ever find a solution to this? I am having the same problem but i don't have the dvd player any more. Now I have family videos copied to DVD that won't play.-   Eyebetoni
You have to go into the Home menu and select setup. At the bottom left there should be an icon that looks like a dvd disc. Select that and then go to finalize and select that to finalize the disc. After that is complete it should play on any dvd player. I had this problem and I got through to LG's customer service line and had them talk me through it. After I finalized the disc, it worked.
The solution is: insert the DVD you recorded in to the same DVD recorder, then go to the setings and finalize the disc, the disc was not finalized when recorded. try it.

hi all, I have the rc 299 so does my dad biggest mistake buying these units. Biggest load of junk. I have had mine repaied by the local repairer and then about 2 months later it crapped itself again with the error unknown disc or no disc when there is one in the drive. When i sent mine to Lg they repaired it and it seems fine now but no explanation of what was done so i am wondering if it was just a firmware update to fix it or ???????? But my problem now is that my dad's unit is now doing what mine was but his is out of warrenty now if LG knows there are issues with these units why not recall them.

The disk freezes up, sometimes half way through a dvd, the disc is not recognised, and the sliding door opens/shuts erratically, sometimes only opening for half way. It is a multiregion dvd vcr combi so all disk should work.
Is there a software /hardware fix for this and if so how do I upload the software or reboot?
