I have a Magnavox MWR 20V6 DVD Recorder/VCR. I have had great success recording in any combination (DVD to VCR / VCR to DVD / TV to DVD, etc.) for as long as I have owned this machine (? ~2yrs). The last two times I tried to record a program to an hp dvd+r 16x, I've gotten the error code E 4 54037380. I've recorded these same programs to these same discs before.

E4 is error on optical pickup. One or two of the problems might be. You disc lens is out of alignment, or the discs your using are the wrong type. You need to use a SOLID SPEED DISC. Yes:Dvd-r x4, x8. Dvd-rw x4, 8x. DONT use up to 16, 1-16x or antyhing with UP TO or 1-8x, 1-16x
